I have this chair and it's good value and build quality for the price.

One downside is that you cannot twist/turn the arm rests, only height adjustment.

Not bad. I suggest spending the extra $$ to get the other features seen in the more premium chairs (ie leg rest, head rest, full range for chair to tip back if you are falling asleep during a meeting lol)

If you're using a notebook keyboard/trackpad for example, your arms will be closer together than using a full keyboard/mouse. Your elbows probably won't touch the arm rests in that case.

I had mid backs before changing to highback. What a difference in comfort.
I suggest getting a highback, with the headrest. Get the full mesh version.

I meant that this chair's armrest lacks these adjustments:
- Depth
- Width
- Pivot.

This video helped me get the industry standard words for what I wanted to say:

Got two of these and IMHO seat and built quality is much better compare to most office chairs out there. Only thing I disliked is that it's not full back but I can live with that.

It looks sturdy and it's better then the one we bought from staples when pandemic started which came with 5 yr warranty.

I don't know the load value and average daily hours they recommend but I'd not expect it's designed for 8 hrs non stop office work. You may go way over $400 limit and industrial quality for that I guess.

seat is still good for few hours of sitting before sinking to plywood underneath... and then comes back up overnight for another few hours... lol

Assuming you're planning to use the chair to sit at a computer, look at the angle of your forearms when using a keyboard. Your hands sit maybe an inch apart when situated on the home row keys, your shoulders are much wider than that and so your arms point inward, not straight out like most arm rests are typically oriented. Some arm rests even have divots for you to place your forearms and elbows in to which can get pretty uncomfortable.

I have both chairs. One Tempurpedic at work, and 3 Leeder's at home (for the kids to use). The Tempurpedic is next level comfort (vs the Leeder) on the seat cushion and hasn't lost it's shape in over 2 years of use of regular use. I just don't love the back as it doesn't recline.

The Leeder one has a decent seat cushion for comfort and breathability, and the longest I've sat in it is about 1.5 hrs straight and I found it quite comfy. For $140, to have a reclining back and height adjustable arm rests, it's a very good deal. But if the seat cushion goes flat in a year, then the Tempurpedic is worth the extra cost.

My own chair at home is a Steelcase Amia, so no comparison.
