Solidly designed - very heavy components. Easy to assemble - about 1 hour proceeding carefully step-by-step. (The slowest step was aligning the bolts to attach the headrest.) Easy to adjust. The most comfortable office chair I've ever used.
I first bought this chair in 2017 & it is starting to show some sag in the seat. Everything stretches out in time. But it is still fully functional. I've spent a lot of time in this chair. Let's say from mid 2017-2025. On average throughout those years, I've weighed about 195 pounds. Tempted to buy another one just to have it or take one into work.
This chair has so many possible adjustments! This part I absolutely love! . The seat is comfortable but the arm pads are pretty hard for working at a desk 8 hours a day. The main problem, which caused me to stop using the chair, is the lumbar support. It has two positions and both stick out way too far for me to get comfortable. I'm very disappointed. Maybe a pillow above the lumbar strapped to the back rest would work but I shouldn't have to.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Although the chair is a bit wider than expected its been great for me. Having gone through a few chairs I'm thinking I landed on the right chair for my home office. The seat is comfortable and the lumbar support is just right.
Comfortable chair with the mesh bottom and back its coll and confortable with good back and neck support. Mine was on sale - so a very good deal, and it was delivered promptly, WHen you sit to work for long periods a good chair is important - if yours is not good - pop down to Staples and give this a try!
