Pros

  • Gel seat pan option available
  • Most adjustments done without buttons or knobs

Cons

  • Screws and roll pins fall out repeatedly requiring warranty repairs
  • Seat pan too shallow for long-legged users
  • Armrests do not go high enough for typing and too low for tall users
  • Absurdly expensive for the quality issues experienced
  • Durability concerns with recline mechanism
  • Headrest slider housing quality concerns (plastic vs aluminum frame)
