Good ergonomic features for the price. Hand rests could be better if they were adjustable but not bad.

Nice chair - worth it
on April 4, 2026

Got the chair (2) cuz of price - weight rating. (was onsale 50% off.)
I start pulling it out of box,sudden worry about material. (not sure how long mesh will last)
- pulling out seat base, dang things SOLID feels good- well built overall.
easy build, one of the screw bolt holes to hold the base to the back -isnt threaded properly. so that bolt only went in 1/2 way.
Lumbar. no way to 'lock it' in place. it slides down too far, (when its in theright spot, its amazing. but doesnt last 2 sittings.)

Hoping i figure out how to keep that from sliding down, then its a 4 star chair.

Big, sturdy chair but still light enough to not feel clunky.

Front seat support is too hard
on April 1, 2026
Posted by: Not comfortable
Front seat plastic edge cuts off circulation when seated. Head rest is too far forward and does not adjust enough. Back support pushes the head rest too far forward and does not recline well.

Major design flaw
on March 30, 2026
Posted by: Nick
I really want to like the XL version of this chair. The seat is comfortable, it's build seems to be good and sturdy. However I have two major issues with the design. The first is this chair is actually too tall for most people. I am a pretty tall guy and at the lowest setting it is just perfect for me. However, that means if I want to lower it to stretch out my legs, I can't. But that's not the biggest issue. The unredeemable issue is that the seat back can't be adjusted to be upright enough. Even at full upright position you feel like you're leaning back on a sofa rather than in a position to type. What good is a lumbar support or headrest when you have to lean forward to type so your back doesn't even touch the seat? I read a couple other reviews saying this, but thought that maybe they just didn't adjust it properly. However, after extensive adjustments and looking at all the options, there just isn't any way to make it remotely straight.

This chair is great for tall people. I can sit for hours and not have my glutes or my back hurt. Just an overall solid chair.
