I'm 71" tall and 230 pounds...long body and wide shoulders...lol with no butt. I've had one back surgery and my spine has the full list of everything that can go wrong. Sometimes i spend 18hrs in a chair....and with this one i have no tail bone hurting nor shoulder back...the mesh is great. The only reason for 4 stars is that i had to remove the headrest and install one that goes higher...as the stock one hit my shoulder at it's highest setting also it wouldn't hurt to make the lumbar just a little bit wider for guys like me. Still i will be telling the rest of my fellow vets that this is the chair to get.
I bought this chair because it says it is ergonomic, but it doesn't feel like it is. I cannot get enough lumbar support from the included support bar and I also cannot get a lumbar cushion to stay on the chair. I also cannot get the chair to stay in one position but also have some flexibility in movement. In other words, the tilt tension adjustment knob doesn't appear to do anything at all.I am 5 feet, 8 inches tall and the headrest hits between my shoulders even when pulled up as far as it will go. The chair is an excellent value and appears well made, but I am disappointed in the ergonomic features it claims - just ask my sore lower back at the end of each work day.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I had someone assemble this chair. I bought it on sale, so it was a good deal and it arrived quickly, but the backrest is defective. The mesh part and the armrest do not attach properly, which cause some screws have fallen out. My fingers sometimes get pinched. I cannot return it because there is no way I can disassemble it. Other than that, it is an ergonomic chair that helps my posture and is comfortable.
