Mesh Office Chair - Focus Mid-back Office Task Chair with Mesh Back and Black Leatherette Seat

I am writing this from this chair right now. It is true that there are only 8 bolts involved in assembling this chair, but due to the heavy weight of the chair's parts, I would rate it as a moderately involved task to assemble. Ideally have another person help you. It's not that it's hard--it just requires lining up heavy (duty) parts and threading bolts into the holes that match up, which is simply easier handled by two people. If you're like me and bought this chair because you have a bad back, you don't want to further strain it by tackling this project alone. Aside from that (which is not meant as a negative as much as an FIY), the chair is very well constructed, good looking, and very comfortable. It adjusts in two ways (up and down with one lever, and forward / backward tilt "lock" with another). The materials used are high quality. The ergonomics of the chair are great, and the mesh back conforms to your back and provides adequate lumbar support (due to its curved shape). The casters are smooth rolling (even on low-pile carpet like I have in my home office), and the adjustable arms are a great feature that I never knew I'd use so often (out of the way for typing most of the time, down when on calls and reading for extra support). The only ding I'd give the chair is that the seat cushioning could be a little thicker to make the chair more comfortable--but that's nit picking really. The seat cushion is made of comfortable material, and does provide decent cushioning, but given the state of my back, I will likely be adding a small pillow in the mix most days. I shopped around for a good "Herman Miller"-like chair for a while before deciding to take a shot on this one on Amazon, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. This chair feels as solid and comfortable as any of the chairs I came across in my search, but is priced about 1/4 - 1/8 of what many of those other chairs cost. Amazing deal on a great office chair!
