After 1 year: The seat pad has broken down completely on the left side, now my spine and hip are out of alignment. When I get out of the chair I can see the area where the pad has broken down. The lean back tension is minimal from min-max. I'm already looking for a replacement chair. Chair isn't terrible but don't be surprised if the padding breaks down in 1 year.
Review upon receiving: I will admit, I was skeptical of this chair. But I'm glad my skepticism was wrong! This chair is comfortable!
I don't know why some of the reviews are saying the seat is hard, it's definitely not; granted it's not squishy like a memory foam pillow but it definitely is soft even after 10 hours of work. I think some forget this chair is about ergonomics. You need support and those wanting a super squishy chair need to remember this isn't a Herman Miller chair, its under $200 when I purchased it.
Yes, the recline lock is a bit tricky but you just have to learn how it operates but it works fine. Lumbar support is good, headrest aligns regardless what recline you are in.
I'm and average 5'10 male with some extra insulation 200lbs due to working from home since March due to COVID-19. I was able to assemble the chair in about 20 minutes and I am fairly mechanically inclined but it's very straight forward and instructions are easy to understand. Better than Ikea for sure!
Headrest has a little padding, armrests are padded too. During assembly you have around 1 of adjustment on each armrest width and the depth of the chair back to really dial in the chair. Rollerblade wheels work great for my hardwood floors and the base is metal. If debating between this and other $200 range chairs, I'd gor for this one over majority of others.
Also arrived in 4 days even though it said 1.5 weeks.
