I bought this chair because the non-pro model was one of the lowest price models with good reviews around. The mesh seat is what drove me to this. Pros: - Easy assembly (20-30 min) - Lots of adjustment options - Easy adjustments - Comfortable - Supportive - Lightweight without feeling cheap Cons: - Not plush. Can't just "plop" into it. - Tension for backrest recline in the bottom vice on the side like some higher end chairs. In my work office I have a Herman Miller and a Steelcase chair. Both are their mid tiers. They work great and I can sit for 4-5 hours before I want to stretch my legs. At my home office I was rocking a La-Z-Boy I bought from Staples about a decade ago. It was great at first, and still felt like a cloud for the first 30 min, but after working a full day at home i felt stiff and sore because it didn't provide enough support. For the price, this chair offers the perfect blend. It's not soft when you first sit, but it is comfortable. It's supportive and breathable. The adjustments are easy so you can tailor the chair to you. Time will tell if I still love this chair in a year or two, but my first full day working in it left me feeling better and with more energy than any of the other chairs I've used.
