Great chair with one Caveat!
on April 29, 2020
Posted by: tagginondawal
I've had this chair for 2 years. I waited before writing a review (I was not have a Staples rewards member at the time). I use this chair daily. I'm mainly a gamer but also do a bit of vlogging so a comfy chair is something I require. This chair fits the bill. I went into Staples to check to what chairs were comfy as I was using a stool prior. I found this one to do the trick. Let me preface the review: I'm 5'3 and 125 pounds. Assembly was easy took about 25 to 30 minutes. Naturally it wasn't as comfy as the chair in the display but it took about a month and change to break in. The chair is comfortable to sit in for extended periods. The mesh makes it breathable. The lumbar support is good. Armrests are adjustable up and down but are not adjustable left and right. The chair leans back about 30 degrees or so. The chair is also pretty durable. I've used it for LAN parties moved it around my apartment often and it has held up. They hydraulics in it work fine the chair hasn't sunk yet. Added bonus is that my cat uses it as a scratching post. Even though I try to get him off it it has held up over the 2 years without fraying. This is a testament of how durable the mesh is. However this isn't without it's flaw. My friend who's 6'1" doesn't like it as he's too tall. Please be aware this is for average sized people not tall people! Chairs are made for different sizes this is made for average size people! TLDR: Great chair held up for 2 years and going survived cat scratching it. DO NOT GET IF you're tall!

confy but broke after 3 years of limited use

The mesh pulled out from the base. I tried to repair it and found that the staples used in assembly had all been bent and were not holding i.e. clearly a manufacturing fault. FWIW I'm 175lb and use the chair 2-3 days / week so not an intense user. Pretty disappointing.

I love this chair ... has helped greatly with my sore back/bum and the best part I didn’t have to pay $400-$1000 for a chair that is built for back issues!

It’s better than what I had but nothing like the chair at work. I should have spent more money on a chair. But who knew we’d be working from home this long

Not for tall people

I'm 6.1 and the headrest is way too low. It digs into my shoulder blades even on the highest setting. I went with this chair because of all the positive reviews; however I wish I would have searched through them to identify those written by tall people. I would say if you're 6.0 or taller - buy at your own risk as all those reviews complaining about the headrest causing discomfort are absolutely accurate.
