First off sit in any chair you think you might like to buy. It really is the only way to know if it is comfortable to you. I like the angle of the support of this chair. It's good if you want to sit bolt upright while typing. Only had it a week but the mesh back seems not to have stretched out any. The seat could be a little more plush. The worst thing about the chair is that the hydraulic piston shoots up when you stand up and makes a bit of a popping sound. I like the rigid plastic arm rests. There is a slight seam around their bottom edge from the molding process but it's not too bad. It was very easy to put together.
