Comfortable and Easy to Assemble but...
on October 22, 2020
Posted by: LOUIS A.
The chair was easy to assemble screws in sequential pouches that matched the instructions. As many others have stated the ability to adjust the height of the headrest would have made the chair a 5. I am about 6 feet and have to slouch a bit to be able to put the headrest in a comfortable position. That of course negates the use of the lumbar support since my back is not resting against the back of the chair. The headrest can be removed not not installed so you may be able to find a cheaper chair without that feature that is made of mesh.
This chair has very strange proportions. I am 6'4. The seat is short. The back is short. The arms are at the lowest adjustment but they are still too tall for me. The back does not adjust fully vertical so I find myself sitting straight up and not even touching the seat back except for the very bottom much of the time. Everything in the chair except the gas cylinder and the bracket on the bottom of the seat that houses the spring and adjustment mechanism is made of plastic. This makes me wonder how long it will last.
