Here in retrospect my experiences:
As a student, I needed a more comfortable desk chair than given in the dorm - I am familiar with similar products from not, have no more experience and therefore no comparisons.
Important to me was that there is a pleasantly large seat, the armrests and the star base should not necessarily be made of plastic and I can afford it. In my search 200 was the limit.
The rest was (for me - 1.81m) pleasantly high, the seat big enough to sit cross-legged and I have used this office chair extensively, so probably (purely subjective) on average rarely less than 3-4 hours per day on it spent.
In the 3rd year I started to get more and more black lint, thanks to the peeling of the seat surface. Then I often used a thin pad to sit on. Once a place that is worn, it spread more and more. It was disturbing to subtract 2 points here, but not annoying enough, therefore to buy me a new one. However, I rarely sat quietly, I see myself very comfortable on it while eg. Books reading, writing or movies.
I speak partly lived on it - as a desk chair for working, I can very well imagine, it is in this respect claimed less over the years.
That was also the reason that I then discarded him - he did not squeaky, the adjustment functions (if hardly used by me) always functioned properly (with guests) and for this time it was great.
I would return it to me thought - at that situation - to purchase again.
* This is a retrospective review - memories can deceive, but it gave up on the lint sufficiently strong negative memories that have remained in my memory.
