Comfortable but just not for me

This is a strong and great chair. The arms are adjustable height is adjustable with a lumbar support. The back lumbar support is fixed. The head rest can move only back and forward and cannot be adjusted once it has been attached. You can choose not to have the head rest attached to the chair. Everything is great with this chair the mesh back is firm enough to support your lumbar. However for me the Mesh seat back did not meet my specific lumbar needs and I had to return the chair. I could only sit in the chair for about 2 hours without any discomfort. Mesh seating is also strong but I my comfort level I find is with the padded or foam seating. Hope this information helps anyone interested in this chair.
I recently purchased 2 of these chairs for our office. One for me 5'10 and 1 for a co-worker 5'3 and this chair is a great fit for both of us. We both work for 9-10 hours per day and so far so good. We departed from the traditional foam seating since they have a tendency go flat after sitting for a long period of time.
It's a comfortable chair and I liked the look of it but I bought it and within a week of use it already has a 2 inch tear at the seam where the mesh fabric connects to the seat bottom. I did purchase the product protection plan so I'm going to see how that claims process goes but I was sad to see that the local Staples store wouldn't even handle a return/exchange since it was still essentially brand new. For the price of the chair I do not expect that it would fail so quickly. It's not a super expensive chair but it is also not a cheap one either.
I have used fancier chairs before but for less than $200 this chair is very satisfying. It supports my weight (230lbs) was easy to assemble and easy to adjust. I’m very happy with it.
