I work from home, so I use this chair 8-10 hours per day during the work week. So far it has been great, and we’ll see how it holds up over the next few months/years. The headrest is a nice touch, but I can see it being an issue for taller folks 6’ and taller . The good thing is there is a head rest mod on YouTube.
At its most forward position, the seat back is at a 20 to 30 degree angle back, meaning there is no support if you wish to sit up straight at your desk.
Not sure why they did this – especially since the chair does have 3 locked positions for back recline angles. It would be nice if one of them had the seat fully straight up!
This makes the chair very uncomfortable and causes backaches when working at your desk.

The seat of the chair leans forward slightly, making it feel as though you will fall forward. I have to keep my feet planted in front of me to stay in the seat.
The arm rests are very uncomfortable. My elbows hurt after a few hours of using the chair.
Took longer than I thought to assemble. Very solid but the lumbar support was uncomfortable no matter how it was positioned. We returned this and ordered a different model with mesh seat.
As other reviewers have said, this chair has you constantly slouching/leaning back. I am 6’6” and 260 lbs and bought the chair for its height. But it’s horrible otherwise. I am hoping they’ll let me swap it for a chair that lets me sit upright like an adult.
