My initial opinion is that it's very comfortable. When I was assembling it, two things stuck out as 'cost savers'. The seat base of 5 spokes is made up of separate pieces which screw to a central hub. The hub had black pieces sticking out, and I thought I was sent the wrong chair. The spokes were highly polished chrome and covered the black pieces on the hub. The headrest also appeared to be an afterthought. The piece where it mounts to the top of the chair hangs over the front, and the square edge presses into the mesh. I fear this could someday be a strain and cause a rip. Those fears aside, it was easy to assemble, and it's very solid. When I sat down, I instantly felt comfortable. My Favorite feature is that the seat bottom itself can slide forward or backward. This allows for full support of my thighs. I also like that the back has four different stops if you lean backward, instead of just one reclined position. If I had a wish, it would be that the seat could tilt as well. The back has several vertical adjustments so you can get the lumbar support exactly where you want it. The headrest also has these vertical adjustments. Bonus: The headrest also rotates so that you can actually rest your head on it while sitting up. Most of the headrests in these types of chairs are only useful if you're fully lying back in the chair. I've purchased another brand that was 50% more expensive and was very uncomfortable and did not have the adjustability this one had. So far, I'm very pleased.
