Was reticent to oder an office chair online because I can try out two dozen or so at one of the big box stores and find only a small fraction to be comfortable. Even though it was a blind date, so to speak, I am, so far, satisfied with this chair. It is comfortable without being clingy. Construction seems passable - better than average - and it very nice looking. Piston hasn't failed under weight and slowly lost altitude like all my other chairs.
