I tried to cheap out on my last purchase and tried to get another padded chair but it failed after a few months. I was having pain. Tried a seat cushion which helped a little but still not a good solution. I have the nice Herman Miller chairs at work but not ready to fork over $1200+ for a chair in my home office but when I use those I don't even think about it. Saw some good reviews and decided to at least spend a little more on a good chair and I'm happy to report this chair is working out well. I can sit in it all day. The recline works nice as does the headrest. No issues with leg pain or discomfort. Very happy with this chair. I've heard the warranty exchange is also great so if I have any issues I know I'm covered. Good buy.
My son and I both got this chair over a year ago. He is 5'11" and I am 5'6". Neither one of us is heavy. Chair seemed OK at first but when used for long stretches of time the edge of the seat presses into the calf of the leg. That can be quite sore. If you expect to spend long periods of time in the chair consider a different choice..
After 4 days of using it the staples pulled out from the seat cushion when I sat down. I needed to order an exchange. Would recommend a different chair next time.
This is a great chair and I am enjoying it and have to keep my Grandson out of it because think it his. It makes doing work easy when you have to set for a long time and you can also relax right in the chair when taking a break.
