Great Chair Upgrade
on May 28, 2022
Posted by: WILL T.
I had been "surviving" on a chair I bought several years ago on Craigslist. When i finally realized it was time to move on I checked several different places before deciding on this one. Once I sat on the store display chair I knew this was it. Since it was such a great idea I also bought the red one for my wife. We hare very happy with our choices.
The chair was assembled by the talented young man at Staples - he then placed it in my car for me:-) It is comfortable light and rolls easily - perfect for my needs.
The armrests are hard. Really hard and uncomfortable. Save your money and put it towards a used Herman Miller Aeron if you can find one. They’ll cost triple but they’ll last 20 years. Trying to find one on the internet from someone who isn’t a con artist may be challenging tho. For this chair you’ll need some unsightly padding for the armrests. I half a mind to just break the chair back down and return it but it’s an ordeal. Good luck.
Although I found this chair comfortable for the first few months it began to sag to the point where I have back pain every time after sitting in it. I am around 150lb so I don't think this should happen. Would not recommend.
The chair is ergonomic and comfortable. It's easy to put together as well. My only complaint which is a major complaint is that the headrest is entirely too low. I've extended it all the way and it's more of a neck-rest than a headrest. I'm not a huge guy either. I'm 6ft so I'm definitely on the taller side; however in my opinion the headrest being this low is unacceptable.
