The chair is very comfortable. I like that I can adjust so many components on the chair. The two problems that I have with the chair are that the head rest is too low for a person above 6 feet. I am 6'2" and the head rest hits me in the shoulder blades so I had to remove it. Also the recline spring tensioner doesn't tighten as much as I would like for my height. So when I lean back in the chair there is not enough resistance to be comfortable and I lean all the way back.
Living in a house with people who are over 6' 2" tall gets old when you are 5'6" and all the furniture is too big. I either have to scoot forward and shove pillows behind my back so my feet touch the floor or if I lean back my feet don't touch the floor or just recline...and then I fall asleep! My office chair was no different. I was tired of the discomfort of my old office chair and decided to get one that fit ME after all I'm the one that uses it 99% of the time. I can sit the way you are supposed to so that my back is actually supported. It's comfy on my rear and I like having the head rest. I've customized this chair to fit me and so far no one else has used it but I love it!
I have a lot of back problems especially in the lower lumbar region. I bought this chair for sewing and desk work. It is very comfortable and stress free on my back. The sale price at Staples made it affordable for me.
First let me say I only used the chair for a few hours however these are the first things that come to mind when I sat in it. Pros: Mesh- Love the material I had a leather chair before this and it always got so hot when it was summer Size- Smaller chair size takes up less space in my room Mobility- Rolls very nice even on the carpet that I have Cons: Not as tall- I am a 6' 1" male and when sitting in the chair my shoulders hit the headrest unless I tip it all the way back it works fine when im leaning back in the chair however when typing at a computer I sit up straight and this is an annoyance.
Overall a great chair. It was easy to put together and seems to be well made. The mesh seating and backing keep you nice and cool and the head rest is the most comfortable I have felt on a office chair. The only negative I have is there should be a little padding on the chair where it meets the back of your thighs. After about 20 minutes of sitting you sink into the mesh seat a little and you can feel the plastic that hold the mesh pushing into the back of your thighs which gets a bit uncomfortable.
