I spend a lot of time in my chair as I work from home. The back pain I had experienced in my old chair has not bothered me since I got this chair. I did have to get a small foot stool to keep my legs up a little as the edge would make my legs feel numb and uncomfortable. But with the stool I'm ergonomically in the right position and that issue is no longer a problem. I'm 5'6" so taller people may not have this problem. Overall this has been a good chair, especially for the price.
