This chair is very well built having a solid feel to it. The chair can be reclined locked into reclined positions and also raised and lowered as desired. I love the lumbar support of this chair. Just about the only thing I don't care for is the headrest -- it seems a bit too low for me unless I'm reclining the chair. But this is by no means a deal breaker! The chair is otherwise very comfortable! Since I'm working at home all day chair comfort is very important.
