Not that bad in terms of assembly. Ships in a few big pieces that you put together with some screws and an allen wrench. Once it's all set up sitting in it is comfy. I wouldn't say it's perfect--you can sink a little into the mesh and if you're on the tall side the headrest is more of a neckrest. But for the price I don't regret the purchase.
Its a good chair in store it felt very comfortable and i thought on hot days the mesh would keep me cool easier (Im a larger fella). I like that the arm rests are a bit higher than some others. But upon use my view of the chair has dimmed a bit. Having an office chair and an old computer chair before to compare this too - for long sessions I find my butt gets sore and it did not in either of my other chairs. Also the high arm rests are nice but they are not forward enough for me. So height is good length or forward = not enough. My arms aren't on arm rests half the time! (My old chair was opposite very long comfortable arms but not high enough so i slouched). So not as comfy still not great arm rests and my last complaint is the wheels. I had good wheels on my old chair I have a carpet in part of the room. Other chair went from wood floor to carpet no issue. These plastic wheels are TERRIBLE and i get caught on the carpet each and every time and once on the carpet they are tearing it up. So I would NOT recommend use with carpets at all! Not a bad chair I'll live. But I'm not super happy with it and wish i could go back and exchange for another chair.
WARNING: The metal piston will eventually push down the plastic wheel base to the point that it will scuff and damage your flooring.

Pretty good chair. Fair price. I went with it because I like the tall style with the headrest (which this fits the bill for). The one thing I’ll flag is that the fact that you’re sitting on taught mesh rather than foam may throw some people off. It’s nice on the back in my opinion but a little weird and takes some getting used to on the bottom
This item replaced my HM Aeron chair. This chair has all the same features at 1/3 the weight & 1/3 the price. I sit in front of a monitor most of the day. This chair provides the support to keep me focused on work. The lumbar support is a big improvement from other chairs. It's adjustable and stable. The headrest is a nice toch too. Perfect for removing the glasses and taking a small break. This is the best chair I have purchased in 2 decades.
