Build - Very sturdy where it counts. All brackets are 3/8 thick steel plate and all bolts are M8 with blue patchlock. Anything structural is metal, not plastic. Plastic is reserved for decorative pieces.
Padding Comfort - A bit stiff on the lower pad, but that should improve with time. Better to start stiff and soften up than start soft and turn to mush.
Support - Lumbar is adjustable and very firm, however, you cant adjust it to zero.
I see a lot of reviews that indicate the mesh is not sturdy and detaches from the back. I can see where this could happen, but it might be more about improper usage rather than shoddy build quality. Mesh backings are not meant to be pushed on, so if you sit down hard or rock back and forth, youll make it come undone.
So far, Im satisfied as this is a mid-range price point for a computer chair.
If you want better quality, then youll pay $300+ for it.
Expected performance for the price paid
