Great back support needed this for my work at home period. My back and legs were killing me from sitting on a hard dining chair. With this chair I can sit at my desk for hours without getting stiff and sore. Just need a pad on the floor for the chair to roll.
I replaced an old plastic uncomfortable office chair with this new Home Office Throne. It is comfortable easy to assemble and has many adjustment features to customize your sitting position. Great value for a great home office throne!
First off: Assembly was quick and easy. The graphic instructions were well done. I will also say the height and tilt controls work well and the levers lock in place reliably. I don't like the seating much though. When you have the seat tilt the resting position feels like a bit of a downward slant. I have to tilt the seat by a few degrees and lock it to feel like the seat is even level. The seat also feels a little "short." I wish the back of the seat could be adjusted not just with regard to height and angle but also in the direction away from the seat. The back of the seat isn't much comfort either. The lumbar support if anything is more of an uncomfortable pressure point no matter the height I set the back of the seat. Unfortunately the lumbar support cannot be adjusted to retract. The other ergonomics of the back of the seat don't make much sense to me either. It doesn't offer any support to speak of to the left and right and the way it bends away from your upper back won't allow you to really lean on it unless you arch your back which of course you won't do at your desk. I will give Staples props for a fast delivery. Next-day delivery was promised and it came that morning just after 9AM. Too bad that this chair for all its adjustable features just doesn't feel right. My previous much cheaper mesh-back desk chair didn't have as many features but seemed to get it just right "intuitively."
