Great chair for my line of work

I'm a medical transcriptionist for 20 years and needless to say I have horrible neck back and arm/shoulder problems (some genetic some work related). This chair has lessened the havoc I wreak on my body every day with work. It's very comfortable. I love how the arms adjust and the tilt adjusts. I only wish I were taller to take advantage of the headrest. :) Got this on a great deal and so glad I picked this up. Beware though ... this chair is very heavy! :) P.S. Shipping for Staples to my home in less than 24 hours ... *thumbs up*
My son uses this chair at his computer desk and he is pretty happy with it. Says it is comfortable. He is 6 feet tall and could adjust it to fit comfortably to his frame. I like that it is not a big bulky chair so doesn't take up tons of space in his room. Seems to be well made. We put it together at home and the assembly was straight forward.
This is the chair I had been looking for at a decent price. The seat and back as well as the headrest are mesh allowing plenty of air to keep the occupant cool. The adjustable arms work very well and are comfortable. The adjustments on the chair are wonderful. Height tilt rock or fixed position meets everyone's needs very easily. The chair is black with accents of chrome on the legs and the arms of the chair. My computer desk has some pretty sharp edges on it and my older chair had some major cuts in the plastic covering. The back arms and seat edges were scratched/cut on those edges. Very glad this chair isn't "stuffed" under a plastic cover.
Just to be clear; this is only a complaint on comfort ( I'm 5' 8" and 140 lbs) no problems with the chair build design quality etc. For the price all those were just fine. This is a pretty inexpensive chair so I wasn't expecting too much. I like mesh and I sat in one in the store for a few minutes seemed fine. But the one I put together at home always feels like it's leaning a little forward and I'm shifting around to not feel like I'm sliding off.
I like the mesh structure for breathability and comfort I will never hit the hard part under the foam :) The only negative side for me is that the mesh is not slippery if you need to slide otherwise I like the look and comfort.
I bought this chair as my cat clawed up the leatherish one I had to shreds. So far the mesh seems to be holding up much better. One problem though is the headrest. I'm six feet tall and it hits right between my shoulders. Kinda useless and very uncomfortable. I'll take it back off but if you are looking for a chair with a headrest make sure you are short as it doesn't appear to adjust. And without it it will be easier to play spin the cat too.
