I’m not an ergonomics expert by any stretch but for the price of this chair I have zero complaints. It’s miles better than the old office chair I used to have (also from Staples) which was faux leather with foam padding versus a mesh. With this chair I don’t find myself slouching as much and I don’t feel like I have to prop my feet up to keep myself from sliding off. It also keeps me a bit cooler than one without any mesh or other ventilation. It would be nice if the armrests were slightly wider and the neck/head support could do down a little more but those are very minor things.
