Great home/office chair

I have been using a high back manager's chair for years and it never "fit" me. This chair is easy for me to sit back and type on the computer and it is comfortable for spending hours working on college studies. The height is excellent for the office desk that I use. This is one of the first chairs that I have been able to "sit back" and use the computer in a comfortable fashion. I adjusts for so many different positions that I have not had the chance to try them all out...yet. It has a long warranty and I appreciate how easy it was to assemble. Great chair!
I am 5'8" 225lbs. I do seem to have a "long" torso. I got this chair to replace a 2-year old task chair thin foam over plywood/cardboard seat. I like the mesh seat and back very forgiving. The adjustable lumbar support is basic but good. The chair locks into a few incline positions not just full up or full back. The headrest adjustments seem to have a little play but it can be adjusted 2 ways; up and down or tilt. I do wish the headrest could go up more (maybe 1 more position). The arms can adjust up and down. You have the option to attach the arms narrow or wide with the screw holes. I liked the flip back arms on my previous chair. I don't roll around much but the casters work fine on thin carpet for me. All-in-all very happy with purchase worth the investment.
Good sturdy materials adjusts in all the right places and has solid back support. Not "pretty" but business like appearance this chair emphasizes form and function over frills and appearances. Assembly took some time but wasn't problematic.
My only complaint is that the head/neck rest is not height adjustable. Though it has three positions all but two of them result in contact with the shoulders. At 5'7" I would imagine this would be a no-go item for anyone taller than 5'8". Other than that the chair has been fine.
My chair started squeaking right around the 30th day and I decided to try some lubrication. A few days later it started to squeak Again! It is loud enough for my neighbors to hear. Yes the chair does feel cool to sit on and reasonably comfortable and as another review - it is inexpensive compared to a higher end price. For me the squeak is irritating. Nope! I don't like this chair I put up with it is all.
