For the money its a good chair, some small shortcomings - updated
I often work from home and I needed a chair more comfy than a typical wooden kitchen chair. I ordered this because for the money it checked a lot of boxes for me as a home office chair. After about a month of use I finally have some opinions about it. First, at about 61 I find the chair a bit short. I like to run my office chair pretty high overall and even when topped out this one isnt quite as high as Id like (needs about another 2 or rise), but on that I am probably an outlier. I also like the arms fairly high to support my elbows while typing, I would love to see the arm rests able to raise another inch or so higher and have the arm rests flat instead of sculpted like channels which leaves a touch of a pressure point on the edge peaks of the narrow arm rests. Another minor annoyance, the seating surface feels as though it tilts forward slightly, another adjustment that would be a nice add-on. I will say the back and shoulder support, for me, is quite good. When im not using it my son takes it to his room to play video games in and loves it. I got what I expected though and for the money this is a decent product. After all, I didnt spend $600-$1000 on an Aeron office chair and I feel that the purchase was worth while and it gets the job done. When my son heads to college I will probably send this chair with him and get a real office furniture grade chair for my future home office, but that is a few years from now.
UPDATE - I wanted to update a little on the seating surface tilting forward, that was my own fault, I had not notice the FRONT stamp on the mount for the base and had it installed 180 degrees off, problem resolved. Seating surface more comfy now due to a better angle. I still maintain the 4* rating though because of the arm rest issue I noted above. Still a good buy for the money and Id buy it again. I would recommend.
