I put it together and noticed that the mesh on the chair was cut. Would be a nice chair to have but the mesh would break eventually if I kept it like that.
This is the perfect chair - comfy and very well made. I have one at work (black color) and got this (charcoal color) for my home office. Delivery was next day to our doorstep - wow! Easy setup. Stop reading ... buy it already!
The chair is well built. The only negative on the chair is the arm pads are very hard and the arm pads themselves do not shift outward or inward so it can be hard to find a comfortable spot of the pad to be ergonomically comfortable.
Much better than my previous chair. Not that great for tall people

Headrest is awful - and I'm only 5'5"

Would be a great chair but the headrest is absolutely god awful. I'm only 5'5" and it hits the tops of my shoulder blades very uncomfortably. It can be tilted up but that angle doesn't make sense for anyone's neck. I don't think any of these "ergonomic" chairs are truly ergonomic. For comparison I've been using the Staples Rutherford chair for about 6 months (also awful leans back so far I may as well be in a La-z-boy). I bought this one bc it's upright and seemed better for my posture which is pretty good overall...I will stick with it for awhile but I may remove the headrest. Other than that the adjustability of the armrests is nice. Had trouble aligning those and screwing them in but not enough to affect use. The mesh is very scratchy - I would prob eventually get a cover for the seat part. It's a solid 3/5 chair. Glad I used points and got a massive discount it is not worth more than $100.
I was suffering from major back and neck pain with my old task chair. This one has fixed all of those issues! Don't hesitate - buy it! Prior to working at home I used a 1K chair at work and this is a comparable and affordable option.
