We have these chairs at our Slickdeals offices, it is one of the best chairs you can get.

For those on the fence on about the price, consider it an investment since the chair is made to last. The chairs have been through 5+ years of use and haven't heard any issues with any of our chairs.

Alternatively you don't need to spend this much, but try to set a budget of minimal $400. You'll have much better options and your back will thank you.
I have one and it is a mix, it is very good on initial comfort but every now and then it totally kills my back an I have no idea why. Also the full upright position leans a tad bit far back for my taste.

Much better than the aeron or pretty much any other chair I've tried for all day seating comfort. And yes, the armrests are a must for proper ergonomics
Shouldn't that issue be covered under warranty?

I'm waiting for mine to be delivered. Another month (I didn't order it via HiveModern). Ugh!

The deal from May (the link in the OP) has a lot of feedback from people who own -or has used- this chair.

For this kind of money, the Steelcase Gesture is better. The hydraulic armrests are amazing and very useful. They're flat so you can rest a tablet or something on it. Big seating area that doesn't force your body into one seating position.

I have had these chairs since 2012. Two issues for me:
1) It is noisy. When you move around in your seat, there are a lot of creaks from the plastic components rubbing
2) Both of my arm rests stopped staying in the vertical position. So now they are both slanted out about 15 degrees from center.

Other than that, you can tell it's a high quality chair.
