This chair is oversized. I'm six feet tall (with 32" inseam) and the chair is almost too big for me. My thighs just reach to the edge of the seat. People with shorter legs would need to put a pillow behind their back (or else the front edge of the seat will cut into the back of their knees). Needing to use a pillow would defeat the purpose of the mesh back. The lumbar support is also about 2 inches above my lumbar region, although my back never actually touches this support bar. Maybe as the chair ages and the mesh stretches this will happen, but if it does, then the lumbar support will be too high. If you're 6'2" tall or taller, this is probably a good chair for you. Smaller than 6', try some other chair. BTW, it's easy to put together, and the directions are clear.
Let me preface the review by saying that I'm a 5'7 130lbs female. This chair is massive in terms of the width of the seat and the width of the arm rests. It is quite supportive and firm in general, but the back lumbar support doesn't really go low enough to support my back. If you are a 6ft male or a bit broader in stature, you'd probably love this chair, but if you're an average female I'd suggest looking elsewhere.
The back rest either locks in full up-right, or is flexible. There is no way to set the back to a specific position and lock it. I end up just putting my feet on the wheel-base and it effortlessly holds my back in a comfortable position. I thought it would be a major discomfort, but it's a relatively minor problem.
This chair required a lot of brute force to assemble. The height of the backrest is not adjustable. The seat is not anatomically contoured, and the foam is not dense enough to offer much comfort. So, after sitting in it for a couple of hours, my buttocks and thighs begin to ache. Finally, after a few months, the cushion on the left armrest split wide open.
This chair reminded me of the $900 ergonomic "Aero" chairs I'd had in my old office. The build quality seems very good and for someone with absolutely no mechanical aptitude whatsoever, assembly was a painless. It appears to be something I'll use for many years.
I purchased this chair for my home office and am very happy with it so far. It doesn't allow for customization or adjustments like a higher priced/higher end chair would (only the height of the chair and the arm rests), but it is very comfortable and well made. I am only 5'2", so the seat and seat back feel a bit large to me, but it is still very comfortable. I would definitely buy this chair again if given the choice - great product for the price.
Looks great and very comfortable. would buy another.
very comfortable chair, very sturdy, and adjustable. I love it!
I use this chair for tig welding and the vertical adjustment range on it is awesome! Makes for much less tiresome welding!
I bought 3 of these chairs for the office and for the price they are great. I'm 6'-3" and easily fit in the chair. My two business partners are heavy and so far there are no issues. i would highly recommend this chair.
