Mesh High Back Executive Swivel Desk Armchair with Chrome Base - Black

This chair is so comfortable, I bought it to replace a full leather one that was too big for my new home office but also kept me too hot when the weather was warm.This is an ideal replacement, the chair is still fairly substantial in that you get the benefits of a full sized office chair but because it is mesh based it takes up much less room and on top of that allows your back to breath instead of getting clammy.I especially love the support around the base of my back, I find some of these, including the ones at my actual place of work don't really support the base of your back and I end up slouching. I don't have that issue here.I may well end up buying one for work also.The chair is very easy to put together, the only downside was that I wished I had done this upstairs, once it is together it is fairly substantial weight wise so carrying it upstairs was a little more effort than expected. But this weight does help to add to the feel of quality. It is solid and does not rock at all on its gas riser (which my work one does and is very infuriating) the controls are easy to reach and don't lurch from one extreme to the other when in use.Very highly recommended..-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I like to try and review all of the products I buy on Amazon in order to help other people out.If you found my review helpful please vote yes below or if not please comment and let me know why so I can see what was not helpful and use the feedback to improve future reviews.Many thanks for your time.

- comfortable even for long sessions on the desk; carries my weight well; moves easily, too- quite easy to assemble. (some screws and washers were wrongly labeled and I had to redo 4 before noticing. No biggy, though)- the mesh from the back and the metal button on the armrest came with small damages. Not sure if this occurred during transport because the parts were just loosely 'thrown' into the box, thereby allowing the metal parts to rub against each other and the mesh to get damaged. Or if this was a returned and repacked product (hence the parts just loosely 'thrown' into the box).Not big enough to return. Still a bit annoying and avoidable. All made up for by the price of £89.99.update 30th Oct 2015: the armrest lasted just 8 month. Trying to get up this morning, it just snapped off, leaving me on the ground with the chair. I guess, I got lucky, while hurting and some scratches no serious injury. But WTF? The pictures show how thin the parts are that broke off. How is that supposed to support a grown man putting his weight on it to get up?

For its current price (£89) it's a brilliant chair and would highly recommend.=================================================================================================Pros:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* The seat is padded very well and is comfortable to sit on for long periods of time.* The seat feels very sturdy and doesn't wobble at all.* The back rest and lumbar support are really comfortable although it took me a few days to get used to it.* The lumbar support has a slight bend to it so it's not just solid.* The back rest feels very sturdy even when fully reclined.* I love the mesh as it keeps me cooler without getting a sweaty back through long gaming/working hours.* The arm rests are comfortable and can be adjusted easily.* For me (just under 6ft) my heels can just about touch the floor when the chair is fully lowered, so if you have a high desk the chair can go pretty high.* The headrest for me is perfect (just under 6ft).* The gas lift feels like any other.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Over all the chair is pretty nice, the build quality on the most part is good, and I finally have a nice chair to use as all the others I've had have turned out to be rubbish or brake immediately. I was worried that reclining would be precarious as it has been on my other chairs due to the small wheelbase, but this chair feels very safe. Although I've only been using it for a few days it feels like it will last a good few years.==========================================================================================cons:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------* The right armrest is about 1 inch shorter than the left, I've used a tape measure and concluded that the right is about 1-2cm smaller when extended, but they can be adjusted so it doesn't do much but irk me.* The armrests don't go back with you when you recline so they're to far away to use comfortably.* With the armrests on it is a bit hard to reach the leavers for reclining and adjusting height.* Even when fully tightened the armrests wobble ever-so slightly.* Requires a bit of effort to roll on the wheels even on laminate flooring; on carpet it is pretty hard to move while sitting on it.* Headrest is only slightly adjustable (well, it kinda just swivels back a bit) and doesn't seem very sturdy; but doesn't feel like it will fall off, like other reviews have noted. Although i find i don't really use it unless the chair is fully reclined.* Lack of adjustment on the lumbar support,* Lack of adjustment for the headrest.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Most of the bad points of this chair are with the added bits; headrest, and armrests. They feel cheap and wobbly but luckily the chair itself doesn't.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Assembling the chair wasn't difficult but wasn't easy either, that's why i didn't include it in any of the pro/con lists.

The quality is fine I have several of these chairs for the three years but it is very badly designed. I am 5ft 10 and the headrest is too low, the back support angles back so you can not lean onto it without slouching and the base is a little loose. I would think anyone shorter than 5ft 10 would sit too high as the lowest height is already just right for me.
