The mesh seat is very comfortable and I like that the seat back reclines while the seat stays flat. This allows your feet to stay on the floor so there is no pressure on the back of your legs. The back recline has adjustable spring tension and the arms and seat are both height adjustable. I would recommend this chair.
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 bought this chair because the dining room chairs were not cutting it for WFH. The Dexley is very comfortable to work in all day. It is actually better than the chairs supplied to us in the office. The high back and lumbar support allow me to work without getting fatigued. And the recline is just right for a long video conference. I am 6' and the height is perfect. Easy to assemble. It took me 15 minutes.
Very good value for this chair. It is quite comfortable provides great lumbar support and the adjustable headrest fitted me perfectly - I am 6'1". Assembly instructions are easy to follow and the only tool you need is provided with the parts. Staples had this chair on sale for $100 off the week after I bought mine so we bought another for the home office.
