Just got the chair. I work in a hot environment and regular leather chairs make me too warm. So far the chair is much more comfortable. It could be softer with more lumbar support but I like it!
Great Chair and great price! Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair Black.

We seem to go through office chairs faster than we should. The "leather look" tears from rubbing against the desk and we have had to replace several chairs. This mesh chair is comfortable light-weight and works for everyone whether short or tall light or heavy.
For years at home I've had "comfortable" chairs the ones with the pleather seats that either have 2 settings for reclining or don't provide head/neck support adequately. That is until I purchased this baby. There are so many settings to get the seat just right and they're easy to adjust. The back/seat is ventilated so the chair isn't retaining heat during the hot summer days and I don't need to worry about the pleather pealing after a few years. The neck rest is out of this world and immediately I can feel the tension in my neck leave while I'm resting in this.
This chair is comfortable for those who have a lower bottom half. The reason it is uncomfortable for heavier people is that the edge of the chair curves up and therefore digs into the side of the leg of heavier people. However everything else considered this chair is a good chair that offers good support and you could do a lot worse than this chair. All this chair is missing for ultimate comfort is a foot rest.
I'm 6' tall and the headrest hits me in the shoulders. The seat is also to too short to be comfortable for me. It might be fine for someone shorter. The seat and back are very abrasive but they might smooth some with use.
Overall a great chair. I just wish it had a bit more fore-aft adjustability to the head/neck rest. For me it's too far forward to be comfortable. In fact I simply took it off as it doesn't seem to add much functional vaue and for me it was a bit uncomfortable.
