It's much better
Updated 6/15 (see original review below this one)
The seller got in touch with me to let me know that they had updated the chair based on feedback and wanted me to try it again. I tried it out, and the cushion is much denser than it was the first time. I did not feel like I was pressing through to the hard section underneath the cushion anymore. And I still really like the arms that flip up--it's very convenient. The angle of the back seemed better, too. Between the time I first purchased this chair and when I got the revised model, I got a Steelcase Gesture. I sit a lot for work, and I love my Steelcase chair. It's the most comfortable chair I've ever sat in. This office chair is much better than it initially was, so I bumped up my rating to four stars, but I'm not sure it would be great for sitting all day every day. The Steelcase Gesture is 10x the price, though, so for a low-to-mid-priced office chair, this is fine. I did receive this chair for free, but the seller did not offer any incentives to revise my review or leave a certain star review, as they had before. I appreciated that they changed the chair based on feedback and they don't appear to be buying five star reviews anymore.
--------------------
I really wanted to like this chair more than I do. The seller offered me a $30 Amazon gift card if I wrote a five star review with a picture. I've lived with the chair for a little while now, and I don't think I can give that five star review. It's not a bad chair. I do like that the arms flip up. It helps me to sit closer to my keyboard and mouse and keep my arms at the proper angle. Chairs with arms force me to either scrunch my arms in while typing or sit forward and perch without back support. Having said that, the seat cushion does feel a little thin, as others have noted. The backrest isn't the right shape for me, so I had to buy an extra support pillow. Like I said, it's not a bad chair, but I think the plethora of five star reviews exist because of the gift card offer from the seller, not because people actually love it that much.
