Takes some getting used to

This chair does not have the padding you find in a standard chair since it is made of an open-weave plastic mesh but the skeleton is supportive and comfortable. The mesh seems pretty strong too. The design is attractive the mesh keeps you cool and assembly is pretty straightforward - it even comes with a tool. I did not attach the arms because they get in the way of working on a keyboard and with my Wacom tablet. Leaving them off does not detract from the look of the chair and nobody can tell that it is supposed to have arms. When I tried out the chair at the store it felt pretty comfortable but at home it's taken some gettting used to. I would rate it reasonably comfortable and it has several adjustments which can accomodate most people's preferences. Buying it on sale was terrific!
this chair has been very comfortable replacing a leather office chair that was purchase 6 years ago. What a difference in structure and support with this new chair. The adjustable back support is the best feature because you are not forced to sit straight up as with the standard black leather office chair that I just replaced. Also the armrests are adjustable and that is also a great feature that the standard black leather office chair did not offer. I can now sit work and not be forced into an uncomfortable position.
Just a very good chair for the money. Assembly is a bit time consuming but not hard - you can pay to have it assembled by Staples. Has a generic look but not unattractive. Good back and posture support and adjustable in all the ways needed.
I did my research when looking for new chair. Worth having it assembled in store! Everyone in my office was envious since they bought theirs from catalog & mine is so much better. The best lower lumbar support for extended computer use! Would highly recommend especially since it was on sale & I used coupons
