My colleague bought this chair while I initially bought a different one - we wear shorts a lot at our office and the comments in previous reviews concerned me. Having received & assembled both chairs I found the other (the Turcotte Luxura) to fit me poorly (head rest forced hunching forward = upper back pain) so I tried my colleague's chair and found it surprisingly comfortable. Positives: solid fit - you can sit back in the chair and still be sitting up to your desk. Great lumbar and head/neck support with good adjustability. Negatives: a little uncomfortable for bare legs when wearing shorts but not enough to make me regret buying the chair; the back tends to allow leaning back a little too easily for my tastes and I haven't figured out yet how/if I can tighten that spring. Still it doesn't go back to far so it's not a big deal to me.
The chair is pretty easy to assemble but not very adjustable. If it fits you it's a good chair. Otherwise look at another model. The mesh seat is great but the foam at the front of the chair puts too much pressure on your legs where the foam/mesh meet. Had the foam been curved at that point it would have been much more comfortable. Also the top head rest is not all that adjustable. It was too low for me as my shoulders kept hitting it. Luckily you can remove it easily (or just not put it on to begin with). I'm a 5'8" male and not very big. Unfortunately this chair just didn't fit me at all. I couldn't imagine sitting in the chair for longer than a 20min interval so I ended up returning it the next day.
This chair is very supportive and has great flow through for circulation of air. The neck rest is supremely nice. Easy to put together and light to move around. It's great for short people who have shorter legs. The seat allows you to get your back end to the back of the chair where the support is. The big executive chairs never quite support my back as I have to sit too far forward. It has alot of adjustments that you can make for height tilt and lock.
