The chair would be much better if the armrests wear adjustable outward. I’m a larger guy (265 lbs) but still within the weight capacity but the armrests feel a bit snug while I’m in the chair and it’s a little awkward to get out of. I may take the armrests off but that kind of ruins the chair. Honestly if I had gone to a store and tried it out first I would have bought something else.
I was going to pick up the chair in the store but the box had so much tape on it that I was sure it was a returned item. Store employees helpfully ordered one for me from the warehouse… Which arrived with lots of tape on it and a couple of small holes in the box. When I opened the box everything looked jumbled. Not a good first impression but the instructions were clear all the parts were present and it only took me 30 or 40 minutes to put together. Someone who is handier than I am could probably do it in 15 or 20. It’s really comfortable and it looks good too.
Nice chair for the price. The easiest directions and organization of parts I’ve ever seen! Like others I didn’t like the position of the headrest but easy to remove.
I tried this in person at Staples and it's the best one in their offerings. Good option if you're not willing to dish out $500+ for an Aeron. The head rest adjustments are good the arm rest height adjustments are decent and the tilt options are great. The mesh material is high quality. Only complaints: 1. the rolling pins are not very smooth and can get stuck easily on carpet and 2. the arm rests are a bit uncomfortable on the elbows. Assembly was pretty straight forward and took ~20mins.
The chair is comfortable and supports my back. This chair is priced right and fits the bill for my needs; comfort support and not too expensive plus looks great!
I did NOT want to return this chair. I wanted to enjoy it for many years

Sadly I had to return it. Fortunately I am happy with Staples return policy. The lumbar support is ill-designed. After comparing it to my office chair at the office I realized the difference. The padded lumbar support is supported by to small and relatively pointed piece of plastic which dig into my back. Other chairs have more of a "paddle" support behind the padded portion. It is difficult to believe that this wasn't realized in even the most marginal and elementary research and design phase. This could have easily been avoided and a good chair produced.
