4.5
UPDATE: Not sure how the ratings system works as I'm typing this, as I'm giving an update on a chair that is not the chair I initially purchased, but a replacement chair sent from the same company. After posting the scathing review of how I felt about my chair purchase, the company reached out to me with an email prompt from me and offered me a new and improved version of this chair they felt would be an improvement over those areas I had critiqued on the original chair. Their improvements included a more durable leatherish armrest and seat pad, and more comfortable lumbar support. The company gets 5-star for simply their customer service, but the chair is improved, more comfortable and I expect the change from cloth to a leatherish material will be cleaner and/or appear cleaner. The one change I made from the original chair, was instead of orange pads, I went with black padding, just knowing that no matter what happens, I can live with this chair for a bit aesthetically. The only critique I could give this chair, and it's simply a personal preference, is that when I'm at home just lounging and watching videos with the chair reclined, I like to sit lower, so my feet are more flushed to the ground. My previous computer chairs were able to sit lower, and yet both the original and this model sit just a bit higher, which is an adjustment. I cannot knock the chair for this, as it's an office chair, and it sits perfectly when working at the keyboard. I think this is how a chair would function in most office environments. I do recommend shopping with this company.OLD WRITE UP: The Chair looks good, and it was pretty easy to put together, that's where the positives end. Contextually, I've been in government work both as civilian and as military, and we purchase chairs over $500, overall, those chairs are solid, they're ergonomic, comfortable and durable, but that price is a bit gauged considering we have specific catalogs to choose from, and everything from these catalogs are expensive, so I always hope that you could find something comparable on Amazon just at a significantly lowered price. But these chairs? Understandably, they are a budget chair, but I find the lumbar support a bit stiff, and at times a little uncomfortable. And then there's really no scenario when I'm sitting down in any position that the headrest is useful. Wheels aren't good either, swapped those out for rollerblade style wheels, easier on floors and smoother. The worst part that I should've prepared for is that this chair gets dirty pretty easy. Armrests especially. For that reason alone, I'd recommend finding a chair that does not have cloth on the armrest, unless they are black in color.
