Great Chair!

The salesman in the store said this chair would give me the most support and he was right. Very comfortable and I love the headrest especially when I am in a long Zoom meeting.
Can I just say – this chair is like sitting on a cloud! Or floating on a hammock. The mesh suspension is light and airy and completely supportive. I have been working from home for the past year getting by with a generic chair that was a hand me down from a friend. I should have made the upgrade much sooner! Now my girlfriend is planning to buy one of these for her office as well. The lumbar support and arm rests are easy to adjust and the head rest supports my neck. I am 5’ 10” and the proportions fit me well. The charcoal gray really makes the chair pop in front of my wood desk while still coordinating with the dark gray/black of my other office items. Delivery was super fast and the chair was easy to assemble. If you have been searching for a comfortable adjustable and good looking office chair that is maybe a little more affordable than the leading brand this is definitely it!
Dislike a few things. I have my doubts how it will be in a year after two weeks. The biggest thing I dislike is the pressure on the back of the legs and it has no adjustment to tilt it forward a little bit to relieve pressure.
I got this chair on sale and it provides the perfect amount of support for me when I work from home. While the lumbar support isn't as sophisticated or contains as much adjustability when comparing it to its competitors it still provides just enough support for me and my back. The armrests are a bit narrow but it am still able to slide into the seat without bumping into them. (I am roughly a size 36 around the waist) So if you are slightly larger or have a wide waist I would not recommend this seat I know that there is another version of this seat that is suited for larger/taller people might want to give that a look.
This chair was average when I got it in August but now in March it is super uncomfortable. The mesh has begun to sag so it isn't as firm as it was when I got it (and I am petite at 5'2"). The front of the chair has a memory foam padding that will not stay put so I have to keep pushing it back into place several times per day. Considering all I do is sit in this chair there is no reason this should be happening after 6 months of use. I never installed the headrest because I don't need it. As I mentioned I am petite so the chair is a little big and my feet cannot touch the ground even at the lowest setting however this was easily remedied by purchasing a foot stool. I do like that the back is adjustable and you can lean back or lock it into place. But since using this chair I have found my hips have been bothering me more. Overall very disappointing purchase and I would not recommend this chair.
I tested this chair out briefly in the store and thought it was comfortable especially for my size (I'm 5') but after a day of using it at home I'm definitely not a fan. The lumbar support is extremely aggressive and it feels like it is bruising my lower back. The mesh is really rough and scratchy and the headrest placement is awkward/far forward. The seating positions are also awkward -- you're either super upright or super reclined. Thankfully I still have time to return it!
Easy to put together.comfortable.Only negative is the lumbar is not adjustable.I don't like it sticking in my back.Only other negative is rollers on bottom of chair are small.It does not move well on carpeted area.
