Most Comfortable Chair

This chair is the best I have ever used. When your job requires you to be seated all day you want comfort and with this chair that is exactly what you get. It is ergonomic so you adjust it to your body's natural comfort zone. The pneumatic seat height adjustment adjustable lumbar support adjustable tilt tension lock and T-arms make sitting all day less stressful. The mesh upholstery is on the back and seat so you get great ventilation. With a five year manufacturers limited warranty you just can't go wrong!
I bought this chair after a year-long run of bad chairs. Apparently that run is not over. Even though the seat reaches the back of my knees the seat begins sloping downward mid thigh. Therefore the leading edge of the seat digs into the back of my legs causing my legs to fall asleep and significant sciatic discomfort. The mesh seat offers no cushion for a user's tailbone. Though the back does recline the seat does not tilt. The back rest is the only saving grace of this chair. When unlocked it moves with you allowing constant support. Bottom line this chair is not worth the salary paid to build it the truck used to ship it or the bandwidth used to display it online.
My daughter works from home and spends approx. 10 hours a day in this chair. She loves it! We gave it to her for her 50th birthday - just to make her job more relaxing. The mesh makes it a cooler chair to be in for so many hours. It was a great buy and find. Thank you.
The chair is very good for the price. The only problem I have with it is its headrest. The headrest is too 'low' in the sense that if you have the chair in the upright position and you sit up straight it's edges dig into your shoulder blades and trapezius muscles which will become extremely uncomfortable after prolonged periods of time. I'm not a tall guy only being 5'8'' so I imagine many people will have this issue. Despite this issue I still give the chair 4 stars as every other part of the chair is very comfortable and the headrest can be removed. Although being charged for a poorly designed portion of the product makes me :(
Ok Chair bought on sale but would not buy it at a regular price Highly attractive thou .if you suffer from back disconfort this chair might not me for you even thou it has Lumbar support but the upper back of the chair its just mesh and more than probably you will sink in to it adding to some back disconfort that's just me but my family member enjoy it alot .i had it for 2 weeks and its squeekin hmm.
