Looking to quickly replace my aging desk chair I opted for this one on sale for $169 without testing it out at a store. Fortunately I'm not a big person (185lbs and standing by it!) as the seat is just wide enough for me to sit comfortably but the support bars raise up on the side quickly. The seat is comfortable enough as is the back and I appreciate that it's not solid fabric as with past chairs I easily start sweating and I don't with this one. I removed the headrest as I'm tall (6'1") and it got in the way of my shoulders if I wanted to sit up and against the back not to mention the headrest leans far too far forward so my head would be tilted forward even with the headrest all the way back. I wouldn't pay full price for this chair but in a pinch it does its job.
When I sat in the chair in the store for a minute or two it was fine. When I got me new one howe and put it together there was a “ridge” on the seat towards the front under the backs of my thighs that made it very uncomfortable to sit in more than 20 minutes or so. I returned it and got a different brand of chair. It looks very cool and has a great deal of versatility. I just couldn’t sit in it for long.
