I love the adjustment it leaves about 1.5 inches you can push out or in the side arms and the back chair to make it bigger and smaller. I also remember reading the review that someone's wife was upset because she - in the Dexley - at 5'4 couldn't 'cross her legs'. I am 6'1 280lb male who is very flexible and can cross my legs myself. So i'm sorry your wife isn't nimble - tell her to do some stretches. I for one LOVE this chair and it is VERY comfortable for my size. Even my 330lb friend sits in it and likes it though no - he cannot cross his legs.
I absolutely love this chair! It's incredibly comfortable and just perfect for my office. I'm so happy with this purchase - well worth the money. I highly recommend it!
Very clear assembly instructions and so far works perfectly as advertised. Has the lumbar and neck support of chairs costing twice as much. The mesh is cool and supports my 215 lb 6’2” body well. Highly recommended.
