A step up, but still room for improvement
Color: Cream Khaki (Pu Leather Seat)
Yikes, the *shilling* on the reviews for this thing! Yes, it's a chair. There are a lot of mesh-backed office chairs for sale here. None of them are likely to change your life.
I can say this chair is a step up in quality from the few others I've purchased online in the past. All hardware below the seat cushion is heavy steel; you won't be breaking this stuff in the near future--and it's a nice change from the almost-entirely-plastic offerings I see elsewhere.
The provided hardware was packaged intelligently: it's all screws (and not too many of them) with various lengths, but they all have the same size hex-head and the package includes a nice matching T-bar to install them; moreover, if you follow the instructions it's basically "use the screws labelled Step 1 now" then "use the screws labelled Step 2 now"--hard to get wrong.
The best part of the chair is the lumbar support. It's why I selected this particular variant, and it was a good choice: it's firm and adjustable and makes a difference. The back is comfortable, and the general motion of the chair (rocking, locking, up/down, swivel, roll) is exactly as you'd expect.
I don't like arms on my chairs: when they're down I rest my elbows there but they're always too high so it bothers my shoulders eventually, and when they're up my elbows bump into them. So I usually remove the arms entirely during assembly--and in this chair that wasn't too hard, but it does leave some slightly unsightly connection points hanging free. That's not a mark against the chair itself--just letting you know; at worst I could point out that this chair's arm movement is maybe a little more limited than usual.
The worst thing about this chair, though, is the cushion. I got the leatherette seat, because it's supposed to be comfortable and easy to clean. In practice it's *not* comfortable at all: it's soft enough, sure, but it's also *very* hot and makes me squirm repeatedly to try to improve my comfort the longer I sit here. I suggest getting the mesh-bottom version, if you're going to get this model.
