Very nice home office chair for $129

We are very happy with this home office/computer chair. The mesh seat and back offer good support and comfort. Easy to adjust height of chair and adjustable armrests are well placed. The back has good tension out of the box and is adjustable for those wanting more or less tension. Back also locks in position when you find your happy position. The headrest mounts too low for my six foot height. As reported by other reviewers the headrest is shoulder/neck height. The five-leg base is very stable. Solid product for a good price.
I purchased this chair for my home office. I wanted a chair that was supportive comfortable and had features I wanted. So far so good. The only things I would modify in this model is to make the arms swiveling and padded and to have a firmer tension on the "leaning back" of the chair. I also very much like the extra support the head rest offers. I am on the phone a lot and it gives my neck a break when I am just sitting and talking on the phone. However for the price I paid for this chair ($129) I feel like it is a good value and is holding up well. I also paid the extra money to have Staples staff construct it for me and MAN! Was that WORTH IT!
Assembly took approximately 20 minutes and with the easy to follow pictographs and few words is concise and easy to follow. I found the allen wrench long enough to use and didn't tax my fine motor skills too much. This allowed for low frustration level and a vocabulary void of colorful language and rebuttals by other family members to avoid such language around little ones.
For the price it is not a bad chair. I am 6' 3" and the chair is a little small for me. I had to take the head rest off as it was digging into my shoulders. The seat could be longer as well as the height adjuster to give my legs more support.
Easy to assemble (even with an Allen Key) comfortable and ergonomic (love the lumbar support) and bought it 50% off. Head rest and ability to recline works well if you want to relax and watch a movie at your desk. Nothing's perfect so I can't give this 5-stars.
The chair felt good in the store and was easy to put together. It seems sturdy but the seat isn't that comfortable. The frame presses into my legs and thighs. So I sit on a pillow and it is better.
