I was looking for a fairly inexpensive chair with good back support. Those 2 things are tough to find in a decent office chair. I needed something comfortable with good back support for long photo editing sessions. After spending a few weeks watching videos, the Dexley seemed perfect! I tried it in the store & it seemed very nice, even when comparing it to more expensive options.
I have been using it for a few weeks now & so far I like it! I have spine issues so I need good support.
I am very pleased with my purchase, I hope it continues to serve me well! I did get an extended warranty on it so I am covered!
I was hesitant buying this chair after reading the negative reviews, but I tried it in person at my local Staples and it felt great, and continues to at home after long gaming and work sessions. My gray model came in a box from "Union & Scale," not Staples, not sure if that means this is a newer version with a different company making these now, but I had none of the issues older reviews mentioned from a couple years ago.
I'm 6' and 180lbs and did not experience the the foam "digging" into my thighs, actually I like the supportive feel there. Also no issues whatsoever with tilt locking the chair at the three angles.
I do agree the headrest is not very functional without a height adjustment - at the normal upright position, it hits the back of my neck and shoulders and not my head. But when reclining, it does support my head and feels great, so I'm leaving it on for that reason.
Otherwise, the chair feels very solid, it was incredibly easy to put together (great instructions and screw layout), and looks very sharp in the white/gray color, which is a perfect match to my white gaming PC build. For the sale price of $160, it feels like solid deal, especially considering how expensive mesh task chairs can get.
Good looking and airy. However the front part of chair frame cut into my thigh too much when sitting down. The meshis not strong enough to support even my 140 lbs weight . Would not recommend for heavier weight than me.
