Not worth the price and the price is cheap.
So I bought this chair in October of 2020 and have not put 6 months into this chair as my everyday work chair. So this review is more than a fresh and shiny, out-of-the-box, first impressions review.
Build Quality:
Pros: The butt pad is ok and the back mesh isn't terrible... that's about it.
Cons: I'll start from the bottom and work my way up here.
*The post is not square to the wheels so the plain of the chair is not parallel to the plane of the floor. This makes the chair feel like it is leaning in a direction depending on the orientation of the wheels.
*The butt part of the chair is slightly leaned forward but not much, just enough to be uncomfortable over time. Compounded with the out of square post this can make it feel like you are hunched forward with all your weight on the backs of your knees if the wheels are in the wrong direction.
*The adjustable arms have a different number of settings on each side and they are not aligned so the two arms cannot be set to the same height.
*The reclining feature does not grab well so after you adjust it to any position and lean back it makes a horrendous loud pop before it grabs the back and stops the movement.
*The post that holds the back will bend if I lean back because it is just a pipe that is flatted at one end and welded to the plate that attaches to the back so the flatted end just bends easily. Just a stupid design in every way.
*Of the 4 threaded inserts in the back panel 3 of them pulled out after a month or two just from moving around in the chair. Mine is now just epoxied to the back panel's post because I spent a bunch of money on a chair and it is too late to send it back.
*The back post is slightly out of perpendicular to the base (or the post is slightly bent) so the back feels tilted to the right.
Comfort:
Pros: None. The build quality has ensured that nothing is aligned properly.
Durability: Because I didn't really recline it at all or I didn't notice the weak back post until it was too late to return. If I had I would have returned it before the threaded inserts started coming out by week 5. The popping in the reclining function is slowly getting worse but I am not terribly afraid it will fail because I doubt the bending back post will outlast it.
TLDR: I wish I had spent my money on another chair. Learn from my mistake. This chair is garbage.
