I needed a chair as I have lower back problems and work from home. This chair is rated to be able to sit for 5-8 hours which I do. The seat is also small and I am a small woman. I needed some lower back support which this does provide. The seat is an open mesh with no padding but it does have some bounce and resistance. I am not sure this will work for me in the long run but it works for now. The arm rests are comfortable. I don't use the tilt feature to often but every now and again it is nice to have. We debated on putting the headrest on as the chair looked much nicer without it but we did just to make sure we did not loose any parts. Overall for the price it will work well. BTW I don't make chair recommendations as it is so personal. We spent two hours in the store with me sitting and trying all the chairs. The ones I really loved were the high end staples with massive cushioning but I did not want to pay >$300 and the chair bottoms are made for men and not women. Happy hunting.

I sat in one of these while at a customer office for a few days and loved it. My office chair was warn out and I was already looking for a new one and I bought this one as soon as I got back home. It looks like it wouldn't be comfortable but it definitely is if you actually work at a desk and prefer to have good posture while doing it. The mesh also is genius it allows your body to breathe so you won't have a sweaty butt ever again! And the mesh is not going to break down like foam padding always does. The only small thing that may be a problem is that the headrest rotates but does not move up/down. If you are taller than 6 feet or have a long torso the headrest may be hitting you in the shoulders. I'm 5'11" and it hits my neck. You can easily remove or leave off the headrest though just remove the two screws holding it on.

I am so pleased with this chair...after 3 spine surgeries finding a suitable chair is a real challenge. But the minute I sat in this chair I knew it was the one...great lumbar support perfect support for my head and arms (2 of those were neck surgeries). After a week of use I like it even more!!! Great buy and competitive with chairs 3 x the price! I love it
