What’s not so great
One of the fallbacks of the ergonomic designs of the Alera elusion mid-back chair is that it lacks the ability to attach a headrest. Well, you can attach a headrest but it would sit at an awkward angle for most people.
The weight capacity is 250lbs and may not be inclusive to all body types.
The castors supplied with this chair are not suitable for all floor types.
The warranty does not apply to normal wear and tear that is expected over the course of time. The warranty does not include usage for rented purposes. It only holds true so long as the purchaser still owns it.
The chair takes some time to assemble and has a daunting number of adjustments that can take some time to figure out and get comfortable with.
The back is basically made of mesh material with no support so it gets a bit loose over time.
One cannot lock the swivel on this chair so it does not swivel. The lumbar support is nothing special and is not strong or adjustable. The arms cannot swivel. Sometimes one needs the elbow a bit behind according to different body statures.
