Perfect. Helps my lower back
on November 11, 2020
Posted by: KIM W.
I've been having lower back and hip bursitis problems. This chair has REALLY helped those issues. I sit all day at my desk and this chair supports my lower back.

Confortable and a good value
on March 31, 2020
Posted by: DrawsHouses
Purchased this 3/14/20 in anticipation of the work from home directives. Have had plenty of time since to use it and it is as described a comfortable all day chair. Easy to assemble. I didn't bother with the arms or headrest as space is at a premium with us all stuck in the house and this makes it intrude less. The sales people at the Leominster store were very helpful and matched the website price and carried it out to the car for me.

Headrest digs into my shoulders
on February 5, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
Overall I am rather impressed by chair ESPECIALLY for the price. For context: I'm mid 20's 6'00" 170 lbs. I was first introduced to ergonomic chairs at my previous job. I would often work 12+ hour shifts almost entirely seated. Initially I frequently experienced pain in my lower back & tailbone until we got an ergo chair (an Ergo Human which sells for over $600 almost everywhere). From that point forward I had NO pain or soreness regardless of my shift length. Now that I'm a student again & in need of a desk chair that will be used for long stretches of time I knew I had no choice but to get an ergo chair. After about a few 6-8 hour stretches I can confidently say this $130 investment has been quite impressive. It is supportive while still distributing your weight evenly which means I have not experienced any tailbone soreness. The lumbar is a little low on my back even at full height but it's close enough to still be comfortable and supportive. I don't really use the armrests much as my arms are usually on/above the desk but they were comfortable enough when I tried them out. Now it does have its flaws. I find the base too be too short as my knees extend significantly beyond the drop-off. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to adjust the base depth slide the backrest further back or order the chair in a larger size. Next and most importantly the is the headrest. Not only was it kind of a pain in the butt to get it on but it is too short to be useful. When I lean back just a little the lower edge digs into my neck & shoulders. When I try to recline & actually rest my head on it it only hits my neck tilting my head upwards. Obviously this is not comfortable. I would like to see Staples incorporate more than the current 3 positions for the headrest in the future. Ok so all those complaints yet still 4 stars why? Simply because of the price point. I included all that context to make this very clear: This chair actually competes with ones 4-5 times its price. Of course the Ergo Human one was a bit nicer but not even close to $500 nicer. Overall buy it. It's worth the risk because if you don't like this chair the next option is going to be at least $200-$300 more. Probability says you'll be more than happy with it though.

Decent Alternative to Expensive Brands
on December 4, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
Used to Herman Millers but couldn't afford one this time around. Needed something for 8+ hours of use a day that wouldn't be too hot here in Phoenix during the summer. It's comfortable and does have good adjustments. Only gripes - the head rest doesn't have vertical adjustment so if you're taller than 5'11" your shoulders may rub the bottom of the headrest. Other minor annoyance is the back material will "grab" or cling on your clothes causing shirts to rise up in the back.

Fellow Pear Shaped Humans
on March 8, 2021

This chair came in a nice sturdy box and nothing was damaged. I put the chair together myself in about 20 minutes. It is comfortable in many ways especially the back support head rest and arm rests. However after about 2 hours of sitting the underside of my thighs began to hurt. I'm curvy and definitely have wide hips and bigger thighs. So with that being said the metal rim of the base of the chair began to dig into my thighs and was rather uncomfortable. So now I have the motivation to get to the gym cause I'm to lazy to return this and I need to do office work for about 3 hours a day.

Fantastic so far
on August 4, 2024
Posted by: A.K.
Been using it for about 3 weeks now and I love it. Perfect height for me (i'm 5'2). Very happy with all the adjustable features- I can adjust the arms high enough so that I can sit cross legged. I especially recommend this chair if you like to rock and or swivel back and forth. My only dislike so far is that I wish the armrests were cushier.

Comfy and won't stink
on August 29, 2023

It's a firm chair because it doesn't have padding but still very comfortable because it gives. Plus it won't absorb bodily odors like those cushion ones. Yup great for farts! :-)
