Finally I got this chair which gives me terrific support and very precise adjustments for height, seat angle, seat back angle.

The chair is quite comfortable with good lumbar support even though there is no direct adjustment knob for it (you can raise and lower the back rest as well as adjust the angle)

There are excellent back support, height, armrest, and tilt controls easily accessed, and the ventilated back keeps you from getting overheated during long sessions in the chair.

( Alera Elusion Series High Back Multifunction ), which provides much better upper-body support, the same quality parts and mesh construction, and a similar price ($220 vs. $170 as of August 2013)

For me, I think it's comfortable while providing ample support without being too "pillowy" to the point where you feel like your sinking..

The Elusion's arms provide adequate support and adjust high enough to keep my arms and hands at the perfect level for my desk

There's not a lumbar bar but the contour of the tight mesh back provides plenty of comfortable support without digging into your back.

The back support is very nice and has adjustable height

Can't tell if the support is good due to the fact that the adjustments are so difficult and you have to be limber to be able to do anything with them

The seat itself is comfortable and has great support.

I really wish that the Alera had better support but its really a personal choice.

It lets my back well supported, the seat is comfortable and wide enough

Good support but don't expect it to be plush or luxurious

comfy, great support

Solid, sturdy, good back support once you get the settings right

Comfortable seat - solid padding, back supported enough to be able to spend hours on the chair

I don't need added pillows, my but is very comfortable and the back support is great!

And even if you cannot sit in this chair before buying, you can rest assured that you will be able to adjust the settings to where this chair gives you excellent comfort and support

Would be nice to have adjustable lumbar support, but for the price point, we can make do without.

I would recommend this chair for people that need good back support and comfortable seat.

so support is important

the seat is far too long, so if I want to sit upright with proper back support, my legs (femur) are too short to comfortably sit

Really like this chair...comfortable yet has good support

Really like this chair...comfortable yet has good support

lots of cushioning and great adjustable lumbar support for my lower back which complains when I sit in substandard chairs.

There was dirt all over the place on the parts - the arm wrest, the support

At the office I have a Steelcase chair and I've sat in plenty of other expensive supports

There is plenty of cushioning and the back support is excellent and breathes well

I bought this for someone in need of an office chair with good support and not only do they love it, I do too

Very comfortable chair with great support

They provide good support as I am typing this and are adjustable up and down, as well as out and in (left and right).This chair has a lot of levers on the bottom and feels infinitely adjustable.

The back is mesh and offers nice airflow and support

GREAT QUALITY, O SOO COMFORTABLE
