This chair is comfortable for what you're paying for it. Its obviously not a designer office chair and you can tell by the materials used, polyester and plastic primarily but it does the trick. I have a hard time with my back and this chair has enough tilt and bounce from the mesh back to keep me from feeling pain after being on it for hours. My only complaint is that I wish the fabric was of higher quality and had less of a synthetic feel to it but for under $120 what do you expect? Also, I easily put this chair together by myself in about 20 minutes. The parts are a little on the heavy side so if I had some help I could do it in 15.
