Overall cost was too high for lack of comfort.

I'd tried the Staples Vocazo and other chairs at a similar price point, before finally settling on this Office Star model. The price is a bit of a leap but so too is the comfort. Here is a truly ergonomic chair, with independent, locking back and seat tilt, and a unique "ratchet back" design that permits vertical adjustment of the entire chair back. The back and seat padding are medium-density foam, and the above-the-shoulder-blades-high back is somewhat cradled along the vertical axis, lending very nice support. The arms are sufficiently low (with ~5 inches of vertical adjustment possible) to allow for a comfortable position at the keyboard, and the armrests are amply padded and ergonomic.

The only complaints I can raise are that the chair didn't come with assembly instructions (I found them on Office Star's website; the chair shipped directly from the mfr rather than from Staples), and that assembly - while straightforward - requires a phillip's head screwdriver (not included), which is very difficult to torque adequately when setting these screws. Allen screws throughout would have made the job much easier.

Bottom line - This chair is a computer user's dream come true, infinitely adjustable to match the user to whatever height and posture a particular environment requires.
