I think 4.5/5.0 stars is about right in terms of overall quality. Some of the construction material is suspect in terms of quality but there is a lifetime warranty from Ergohuman (*crosses fingers* "please don't go out of business--PLEASE!!!").
First, I've owned this chair for all of about 35 minutes now. It takes about 15 minutes to assemble (including unpacking time). The only tool you really need, I believe is a 5 or 5.5mm hex wrench and if you have either a drill-bit or socket attachment for it--highly recommend. Obviously you wanna take it easy when you're finally getting the bolts (only 6 (in 3 pairs) are used for complete assembly and it comes with a spare for each type) to be properly seated.
- Pro: The extra hardware included but it arouses suspicions as to why they included it...no faith in integrity of the design??? But it's there--so there's that and I'm happy about it because if I need it--it'll be nice to have on-hand but if I do end up needing it, for the $600+ price tag, I am not going to be a satisfied consumer.
- Pro: immediately-noticeable comfort
- arm rests have yaw adjustment range and vertical height adjustment range
- lumbar support has vertical adjustment range along with tilt/pitch adjustment
- seat has depth adjustment range along with tilt/pitch control and standard vertical height adjustment
- headrest has vertical adjustment range and tilt/pitch control as well.
- SUMMARY--this thing WILL let you find your sweet spot in terms of comfortably-supported posture
- Pro: LIFETIME WARRANTY, this is prolly what justifies the $600+ price tag.
- Con: the casters are 100% plastic except the pivot shaft...which is kinda like "seriously?" for $600+ USD and complete plastic? I know it's standard fare for the wheels to be some kinda plastic but even the mount assembly? I have suspicions about the durability of this product, right out of the box.
- Con: the arm covers, it's the typical foam that has a surface treatment to operate like a jacket but it's all one piece. My concern is that the support frame, which the arm rest covers, doesn't support it that well going forward. I know people tend to use the arm rests to kind of lift themselves into standing when leaving the seated position so I definitely see that causing advanced wear and suffering inevitable breakage just do to the inadequate support, I would say the internal support frame supports 85% of the arm rest cover with 2% hanging off the rear, negligible and understandable, and about 13% ish unsupported toward the very front tip.
I've seen lots of office chairs with worn arm rests. Iunno what to even think about that. Like nobody has come up with an intelligent design to defeat the majority of wear in that area?
Anyway, so far I am enjoying it and I hope it will support my posture proper 'cause I just started going to school full-time online (hence purchase).
I hope this helps you guys in terms of what to expect with the purchase.
