Awesome Chair
on January 1, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I have bad lower back problems and I work a normal 9 hour day with a lot of sitting and this chair has been awesome! Two other co-workers that have sat in my chair at various time also loved this chair and we bought them both one as well! This is one of the best chairs! If you have back problems or just want a really supporitve chair I highly recommend it.
It is a verrry comfortable chair to sit in! There is no cushion yet it is more comfortable than a chair with one. You can lean back to stretch when sitting at the computer for long periods of time which is so handy for myself as I have a back injury. This awesome chair had gone out of stock the first time I looked at it and I was so disappointed. When I saw it in the ad again I was elated and got out to Staples right away and bought this great chair! Very simple & quick to put together. The only problem that I had was that my headrest was missing. I am hoping that they will replace this with no hassels. Staples is typically good this way so I see no problems.
I have been using a high back manager's chair for years and it never "fit" me. This chair is easy for me to sit back and type on the computer and it is comfortable for spending hours working on college studies. The height is excellent for the office desk that I use. This is one of the first chairs that I have been able to "sit back" and use the computer in a comfortable fashion. I adjusts for so many different positions that I have not had the chance to try them all out...yet. It has a long warranty and I appreciate how easy it was to assemble. Great chair!
I am 5'8" 225lbs. I do seem to have a "long" torso. I got this chair to replace a 2-year old task chair thin foam over plywood/cardboard seat. I like the mesh seat and back very forgiving. The adjustable lumbar support is basic but good. The chair locks into a few incline positions not just full up or full back. The headrest adjustments seem to have a little play but it can be adjusted 2 ways; up and down or tilt. I do wish the headrest could go up more (maybe 1 more position). The arms can adjust up and down. You have the option to attach the arms narrow or wide with the screw holes. I liked the flip back arms on my previous chair. I don't roll around much but the casters work fine on thin carpet for me. All-in-all very happy with purchase worth the investment.
Good sturdy materials adjusts in all the right places and has solid back support. Not "pretty" but business like appearance this chair emphasizes form and function over frills and appearances. Assembly took some time but wasn't problematic.
