good for back support

Due to some back issues I needed a supportive chair so I went to the store and sat in several and I picked this one because it has lumbar support. It also has adjustable arm rests tilts as well as goes up and down. The headrest is a nice feature. Since it's plastic mesh it also doesn't get hot and its easy to keep clean (goodbye crumbs). I've used this chair for about two weeks and I do recommend this chair for a home office. Pro tip: Staples with price match if you show them a lower price. Google it and show your phone to the cashier and they will "coupon" adjust. Thanks Staples!
This chair has very strange proportions. I am 6'4. The seat is short. The back is short. The arms are at the lowest adjustment but they are still too tall for me. The back does not adjust fully vertical so I find myself sitting straight up and not even touching the seat back except for the very bottom much of the time. Everything in the chair except the gas cylinder and the bracket on the bottom of the seat that houses the spring and adjustment mechanism is made of plastic. This makes me wonder how long it will last.
A decent general office chair but not great for ergonomics. Yes it is comfortable for those who it fits but it lacks many adjustable pieces which makes it uncomfortable for others especially anyone who is tall/large. The headrest is unusable for me even at it's highest setting. I will have to take it off entirely because it is constantly pressing against my shoulders. The arm rests move up and down but do not move forwards/backwards or out further to the sides. This makes the seat very narrow. The seat also does not adjust forward/backwards. Overall a decent chair that is comfortable enough to sit in but I am not convinced it is a good ergonomic option for full time use.
