I hope the mesh lasts because this is a great very comfortable chair. The parts are made well and the structure parts are made of sturdy metal including the center post.
I have had all of the more expensive chairs and this one is good value for style comfort and functionality. What is great is the lower part that sticks out for the back
I bought two of these chairs as I spend 8 to 10 hours per day in front of my computer for work. This chair has been extremely comfortable and appears well made. I have to completely agree with most comments about the headrest being too low. I am just at or barely over 5'9"(175cm) and the head rest is not really usable. If it were 2"(~5cm) higher it would be just right. I had no issues putting the chair together however I did not put it together in the listed order. Upon looking over the directions it seemed easier to change the order.
I bought this because I needed to set up an ergonomic workstation at home as I work from homem and I have a herniated disk in my neck and need to get as comfortable as possible. I was a bit skeptical when I bought this chair. I was comparing it to the Cadillac version I use at my desk at work. Mesh? Weird. I'm used to sitting on more...stuff. I work long hours at least 10-12 throughout the day. So far...this chair is amazinginly comfortable. Excellent lumbar support. It has many adjustments which is great for to get the chair "just right". I've used it for about a week now and I'm not having any issues with comfort. I paid $129 totally worth the money!
We bought five chairs and we are enjoying them. Only bad thing is one chair we had to send back because the frame was busted before we ever took it out of the box. But Staples made that transaction very easy for us.
