I bought this chair for my home office and was happy with it for about a month. Now three months in the back has begun to sag and the armrests are heavily worn and discolored. I do spend a large amount of time in it however I still don’t feel that the quality is there for this price point.
At time of purchase the seat felt comfy. After sitting in it for a couple of 8 hr. days my rear aches. The 2.5 inch molded tabs under the mesh on each side of the seat frame puts pressure on the top of my legs. This pressure becomes painful. In case you wondering my weight is 204 lbs.. Due to these tabs I do not recommend this chair.
The chair seems to have almost everything I want to WFH at an affordable price. Pros: Up/Down adjustment is good. Lean back tension adjustment is good. Arm rest height adjustment is good. Lump bar support's adjustment is good Armrest padding is firm but not uncomfortable Price is good. Con: The seat feels very firm to me. It should be a little softer. I can only sit on this Dexley for maybe 2 hours max. At work I have the Aeron chair with mesh seat and I feel it is not too soft and not too firm; i can sit on it for 3-4 hours nonstop. I will need to buy a cushion to put on top of this Dexley chair so I can use it for more 2 hours non-stop. Because the price is good and the seat firmness can be fixed with a cheap cushion I will keep the Dexley chair.
This is a nice chair I like the fee of it. over all I'd love a locking feature that puts chair upright and personally I like one foot under my leg at times and it is not comfortable for that but so far the construction and arms adjustments/height and back feel great. Plus I do like the head rest and the way it looks. If it hold up a few years I could see going 4.5 to 5 stars.
I replaced my desk chair a heavily padded vinyl-clad chair of 5 to maybe 7 years that was very serviceable but the vinyl covering was beginning to peel off. It looked shabby but was still quite sereviceable. When I replaced it with this mesh chair I realized how hot the old chair was to sit on. In our current summer time heat conditions this mesh coolness is most welcome. Then I also realized how much better the lumbar support is on this mesh chair. It is GREAT! I highly recommend this particular chair.
