Boss Galaxy Matrex Mesh Executive Chair

This is not an attractive chair - but is rather good looking as budget office chairs go. I tried it out at a local furniture warehouse and I thought it was comfortable, solid and functional. It has a heavy welded steel frame and everything about it looks decent - the welds are not that great looking, but they are large and the whole thing is pretty heavy as has a firm feel to it. There is a lever for height as well as tilt - and with the head rest you can tilt far enough so to actually take a nap after you have had a big large burrito for lunch. The mesh is cool and offers substantial support. The armrests are made of solid dense foam rubber composite that is comfortable and should not wear through or separate like many past chairs I have owned. The best part about this chair is an adjustable lumbar support that is ingeniously attached to the back bar. The finish on the arm moldings and frames aren't perfect so imperfections seem to be the rule here. The chair jet black so they don't stand out. I purchased this for $200 locally and I thought it was good value so I'm not sure why anyone would expect much from any office chair that sells for $****. If I had not actually sat in it I would have passed it up at that price figuring it would be too poor quality. On that note, the design is overly heavy which is a good thing when manufacturing quality control is poor as is typical of . Time will tell if the hydraulics, welds and fabric hold out. If it lasts a year or so, that would be reasonable for the low price. Looking back, I paid $150 for an office chair back in 1990 and it had nowhere near the quality and comfort that this piece offers.
