If I sit forward I get the ergonomic lower back support. If I lean back I get the support of the full chair and headrest. Great chair especially at that price.
The overall chair is very nice and I’ve had a number of chairs similar to this mesh chair however the biggest complaint I have is that the headrest is just a little too low. I am about 6’3” and when I lean back the headrest hits my shoulders and there are very few if any adjustments you can make to move this headrest up (it just pivots). So if you’re over 6 foot tall and you want to lean back in this chair the headrest will dig into the tops of your shoulders/bottom of neck. Not comfortable in that seating position but if you’re actively working leaning forward the headrest does not come into play or cause problems.
I finally found a chair that does not hurt my back with long hours (6+) at my desk. I tried several other chairs (buying additional cushions and lumbar supports) and they all made me feel miserable. This chair meets all my needs.. back support comfort and versatility. I have recommended it to several coworkers. I am 5ft 5in.. so I did buy a foot riser to place my feet on when my chair is raised up. So happy I found this one!
Nice chair but..................just my honest opinion

Verified Purchase:Yes
I tried the black version of this chair in the store which was on sale but they didn't have one in stock and could only order the charcoal grey but not at the sale price?!?!? I went ahead and ordered it only because the black chair was so comfortable we desperately needed an office chair and it was free delivery! The chair arrived early was easy to put together but.....the grey mesh is so hard I've had to put a couple of folded blankets on the seat to get somewhere near comfortable hopefully with time the seat mesh will soften. Like other reviewers I do have a problem with the armrests too.
