We use these chairs in my office so I had to get one at home. I had a $250 gaming chair that wasn't as comfy for long term work use. The only issue we have had is the head rest height is not adjustable so this can be annoying for some. Thankfully it is optional and the chair is just as good without it! Been using it almost two years now without complaint at the office.
it's an affordable chair ok but it's not fantastic

I'm 6'2" and apparently I'm too tall for this chair. My shoulders hit the bottom edge of the head/neck rest in an uncomfortable way and to commit to using it I have to slouch down a bit or else my head ends up tipped back staring at the ceiling. To avoid the bad posture required to use the head/neck rest I just removed it completely. It's disappointing too because I was really looking forward to trying a head/neck rest on my chair for the first time. The "lumbar support" is basically just a piece of Y-shaped plastic with a little pad stretched between that jabs into your back which can slide up and down a bit but is uncomfortable at any position. Is this some kind of torture device meant to encourage good posture by preventing contact at the low back? I have found ways to sit to avoid discomfort from the lumbar support but pretty soon I'm going to look into ways of tearing that part out too. With most office chairs I find that the arm rests collide with the desk keeping me from getting close enough to it but this chair is built so I was actually able to put the arm rests on the wrong sides which points them backwards so I get far less total arm rest (more like just an elbow rest) which is what I want. The mesh seat and back feels fine but I'm beginning to wonder if this mesh is supposed to be for people who need more ventilation in those areas to keep from overheating (which isn't me) but it feels fine anyway. I do like how the end of the seat does not terminate in a plastic edge and instead the seat sort of curves under and the mesh becomes more taught to make the edge more distributed in terms of pressure. The chair can lock into a reclined position which I need to be locked into to keep myself from hunching forward onto my desk but it seems like nearly every office chair can do that.
The chair is comfortable. The headrest has little vertical height adjustment and was too low for me (5'11") so I ended up removing it. Even so it is a clear upgrade over the previous chair I was using in my home office. The build instructions were clear not difficult and the necessary tool (hex key) was included. I would buy it again.
Solid chair I would definitely recommend. If you are tall (6ft+) the head support will only be appreciated when relaxing or leaning back. It is not adjustable "enough" to raise it above my shoulders. The rest of the chair is excellent.
