So far so good

It's been 3 weeks and I have no complaints. I was concerned about a mesh seat after reading some of the reviews that said it started coming loose but I've had no problems at all. The assembly was fairly easy due to the simple instructions. I recognize the issues people had with the headrest but as long as you send the screw far enough in it's not an issue (screw one in partway - while the headrest still hangs a little free - and then screw the other one in all the way). I'm also thrilled that the armrests are long enough to support my elbows but not too long that they're bumping into my keyboard shelf. The lumbar support is good and the headrest is in exactly the right place (that said I'm 5'6" so I agree with the reviews that say taller people might find it hitting the middle of their shoulders). Overall I'm very happy - though I do wish the warrantee didn't specify 3-5 hours a day. I guess on average that's my usage but considering Covid it could have been adjusted.
I'm impressed by this chair - it's definitely sturdy easy to build (and well-designed so not only is it easily built but actually feels like it's sturdy and will last) using just screws and "L" wrench and looks elegant when I walk away and come back to my desk. I love the adjustable arms tilting and support. But the real sticking point for me is the headrest that is awkward no matter how I adjust it. I think it portrudes too far in. I'm probably going to opt for a leather manager's chair so I don't have to mess around with a separate head rest feature.
I really like this chair. It was relatively easy to assemble and feels good on my back when I have to sit at my desk for long periods of time. I gave it a four out of five because the head rest was difficult to put on.
This is the third chair I've purchased and I finally found one that fits me properly. Previous chairs had strong lumbar back support which had me sitting too far forward and made me feel like I was falling out. I'm a small guy at 5'-6" tall and this chair fits perfectly. Well made good construction and has the right amount of back support. I would recommend this chair!
