I spend a lot of time in front of the computer. The time spent there is divided pretty evenly between work and following up on news items I have picked up elsewhere or stumbled across from checking the news and my email. It's not always easy to find a chair which is comfortable to work in yet no so comfortable that it lulls you into some kind of zoned out state dulls your senses and cuts down on your reaction time. I have had chairs with and without armrests. This current one with the arms rests I think is the best one I have had.
This chair is very economically priced and was therefore very attractive. It is easily assembled and is extremely comfortable except in the summer especially when wearing shorts. It gets sticky. After less than two years the seat began to wobble on the post and there was no clear way to tighten the bracket to the post so as to eliminate the wobble. Then the piston gave out so that the chair would not remain raised and I was at armpit level with my desk. For the first two years I was very happy with the chair but I certainly expected it to last longer.
I bought 2 chairs when they were on sale and I use them in the office at school. They are good but i would like a bit more cushion in the seat and a bit more lumbar support.
