I bought this chair for my husband who is an average size guy, 5'9 175. He's been experiencing some back pain working at his computer from a straight chair, and I hoped this would help.
The chair is easy to assemble with clear instructions, the tool you need and well-packaged hardware. Extra screws and a t-handle on the allen key were a nice touch as were the gloves to keep the grease on the hardware off your hands.
The chair has a lot of possible adjustments. The position of the arms relative to the sides of the seat and the position of the back relative to the back of the seat can both be adjusted as you assemble the chair because the arms and back have slots rather than just holes that the screws go through.
Once assembled, the height and tilt are adjusted with the lever on the base. The headrest is friction-fit with notches, so height-adjustable but requires some care to get in position. The headrest tilt is also adjustable but has no way of being locked in place once adjusted; it requires a little force to adjust so holds in position well. The armrests go up and down, and the lumbar support position is adjustable.
The seat padding is good; I expect the textured cover will catch crumbs. And the wheels are great on our wood floor.
All-in-all quite pleased with this. We'll have to see how the friction adjustments hold up.
Excellent chair for the price
