Warranty being used after 1 yr.
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional Cons: weak bolts attaching back to seat
I like the chair. Comfortable, nicely adjustable, mesh makes it cool to sit on for hours. However...
I've had the chair for almost one year to the day. Yesterday, the two bolts that attach the back to the seat broke sending the back...and almost me...crashing to the floor. It also broke off the inside-facing plastic that covers the bottom of the back's attachment plate.
Office Depot hooked me up with the Manufacturer (Raynor). I have a call into them (offices closed for the day) and since the chair has a 10 year limited warranty, I expect them to take care of the issue. I'll post an update as soon as Raynor responds/resolves the issue to let you know how it goes.
I'll also adjust my ratings according to how Raynor handles things.
If all else fails, two bolts from a hardware store could be used to re-attach the back, but let's see what Raynor does first.

Very comfortable
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Well Made/ Sturdy
I first sat in this chair at my brother-in-law's house and fell in love with it immediately. While working on my computer for long intervals, I found myself getting tired very quick due to lack of back support. This chair was instantly very comfortable and provided the support I needed. I, immediately went home and purchased the chair. Price wasn't the issue, if I could be comfortable. Also, because it was mesh fabric, I didn't get hot as I sometimes do.

Comfortable chair
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional Cons: no instructions
Aside from not including instructions, I am quite satisfied with this chair. My only gripe is that the seat wobbles side to side slightly, but only if you actually try to make it do so. This may be due to assembly error on my part, but there were no instructions, so I will never know.
The chair does a very good job of keeping your spine in alignment, and the mesh keeps you from sweating after long hours at the computer.
As indicated by previous reviewers, the chair doesn't rock like a typical desk chair; only the back moves. It is slightly harder to return to the upright position than in a normal chair due to this.
Overall, I would recommend it. At $350, it is very expensive (I have never paid more than $50 for a desk chair), but very well worth it if you spend a lot of time at the computer.

Very Good Chair
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
I tried several executive leather chairs at the store and when I tried this one the feeling was great so shortly after I decided to order it. It was delivered on time. The assembly was very easy compared to other chairs I assembled so far. The gliding seat was not gliding smoothly as one I tried at the store, but not big issue. In general I have not observed anything wrong with the chair yet although I've been using it over 10 hr/day so far. Anyway, I believe it is still too early to say something about the product. 10 yr warranty, so let's see if this one will last that long without any problem.

Great Chair
Pros: comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
This chair has many ways to adjust the seat, back, headrest and arms. I have tendonitis in the elbow and this works great for that condition. It is also great for back support and helps towards good posture. It is comfortable and was easy to put together. The features on this chair are incredible for the price. I had been looking at chairs in the $850 - $1,500 price range and this gives me what I needed for much less! I have had it for several months and am satisfied.

First Impression
Pros: comfortable, functional, Quality of Material, Well Made/ Sturdy
I purchased and assembled the chair the evening this post is written. Overall assembly is easy, consisting of 5 steps. The included screws are well identified, and the manufacturer has included extra screws and an ergonomic hex driver. The one issue I had with assembly came with locating the assembly instructions. I found them wrapped inside the packing that protected the seat back. I recommend the manufacturer place these directions where the consumer will see them immediately on opening the container.
The chair functionally is comfortable, allowing independent adjustment of the seat, back and height. There is a tension setting bar. The directions indicate the tension bar adjusts the effort required to rock in the chair. I find the chair actually doesn't rock; rather, this effects the effort to adjust the seat's horizontal travel before locking it into place.

I have been using this chair for about two weeks now. It's a great chair, more comfortable than the Aeron chair I have at the office. It looks great with the stainless steel base. And the price is very reasonable.

A good choice
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
Easy to assemble, works as advertised, good solid construction, and is comfortable. I use my computer up to 5 hours a day doing research for Grad school and needed a chair like this one.

Good chair, but seat doesn't tilt
Pros: functional, Quality of Material, Well Made/ Sturdy
I've had the chair about a week now. It was easy to assemble--just 6 screws and they even provided a useful tool to tighten them with. It seems to be very well built with no wobbles or poorly fitted pieces. It seems much more sturdily built than my old one (which cost half as much but only lasted 3 years before something broke). Everything works well--I particularly like the adjustable arm rests which my old chair didn't have. This chair is not quite as comfortable as the leather chair it replaces for a couple of reasons. First, the mesh seat feels different than a padded seat--a little like sitting in a lawn chair. I've also noticed that my clothes don't slide over the mesh the way they did over leather, causing my shirt to ride up in the back when I move. These are pretty minor issues to me though and I think the chair will be fine as I get more used to it. And I'm hoping that when summer comes, the mesh will be enough cooler to be worth any minor annoyances like those. My only real disappointment and the reason I only gave it 4 stars is that the seat does not tilt. The back does, but not the seat. I like to work with my keyboard in my lap and when I rocked back in my old chair, the seat tilted back and kept the keyboard at a constant angle to my hands. This one doesn't work that way and it is going to take some adjustment on my part. If you are looking for a chair you can rock back in, this isn't it. Otherwise, it seems to be a very good chair.

Great Desk Chair
Pros: Appearance/Design, comfortable, features, functional, Quality of Material, Size & Weight, Well Made/ Sturdy
Seems like a great chair. Simple to put together. Only 7 screws and they provide an extra screw for each of 3 sizes and the tool to tighten them. I have a Herman Miller Aero at the office and this chair offers better adjustments and is just ,if not more comfortable. Once you use a mesh chair you'll never go back to leather or fabric.

Great Chair
Don't be fooled by this chair being under the Office Depot brand. It is actually made by Raynor, the same people who make the wonderful and rather pricey Ergohuman. In fact, it is marketed in Europe as the "Enjoy" and described as the baby-brother of the Ergohuman. The only difference really, besides the warranty, is that the Ergohuman has a three piece back with the separate lumbar support, and the Quantum has a two piece back (headrest and back support). For hundreds of dollars less, I'd have to say the Quantum is a pretty good value. As for performance and quality, just look up some of the reviews for the Ergohuman, and you'll see that this chair is definitely worth taking a look at.

Great Chair
Pros: adjustability!, comfort.
I purchased this chair a couple of days ago and must admit that it is probably the most comfortable office chair I have ever owned. I am at my desk up to 12 hours per day and was starting to have back trouble from my other chair. This chair is completely adjustable so minor changes throughout the day will take care of fatigue problems. I work with both a lowered level key board and higher level desk top. The chair arms and seat height easily adlust for both positions with a simple move of a couple of levers. The arm rests both move up and down and in and out which makes it great for keyboarding. I am sold on this chair. The chair not only works well and feels good -- it looks good too.

I love this chair!
Pros: adjustable everything!, feels like a recliner.
Really great lumbar support and the mesh conforms to your body like a glove. It's wonderful.. I've never had a mesh chair, I always had cushioned.. I'll never go back! I'm a plus sized woman and it fits perfectly. Everything is adjustable, even the seat depth adjusts which I've never had in other chairs. The arms turn in and out and move up and down too. It takes up SO much less space that other high back cushioned chairs too. It feels fantastic when you want to lean back and take a nap in front of the computer in it too! HaHa! My sciatic nerve no longer hurts in this chair. It's costly compared to some others but worth every dollar. Get it! You'll love it too!

overpriced, poorly built
Cons: faulty construction, high price
We will be returning this chair this week. We put it together this weekend. The headrest won't stay up. The center pole that contains the pneumatic lift drags the floor and doesn't do a good job raising the seat. Very disappointing--especially for the price.
