Not for anyone 6' or taller
on December 10, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
Some mentioned that if you are 5'11" the headrest will rub against the shoulder. Well I am 6' and don't think I have particularly short legs (and long torso). However the headrest is at the same height of my upper shoulder blades. It is not usable. I removed the headrest and the rest of the chair is comfortable enough. The seat is not very deep comparing to my old chairs. (I did assemble the back as far as possible such that the depth of the seat is maximized.) When I sit upright I have about 3 inches of thighs hanging out of the seat. I am not an expert on ergonomics but the shallower seat does force me to keep better posture. So maybe this is a feature? Overall I'm satisfied with the chair. There are several pros that I didn't mention in this review (e.g. good lumbar support.) Just be prepared not use the headrest if you are 6' or taller.

Not for tall guys

I bought this on a deals website for 1/3 of the price. Came the next day I assembled it in 20 mins. the problem is that the seat is too short(deep) I am 6 2" so my legs kind off hang off the chair as the thigh support is really poor if you look at the picture the seat kind of curves so the back portion is kind of useless as it is under the seat back rest and the front of the seat is curved to so you have a very short are which can support your bottom and thighs probably 10" or so. I guess it would be great for shorter buyers or for office guys with desk job but not for casual use on the PC/chilling out watching movies. I did not find the headrest pressing into my back

Do You Sweat On Normal Chairs?
on December 7, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I was tired of sweating on a vinyl faux leather chair (even with the AC on as vinyl and leather doesn't breathe) I decided it was time to try a mesh chair. Felt a little strange at first but also noticed the pain in my lower back went away when I was sitting in it. Fresh out of the box it did feel very hard and rough and almost thought about taking it back as it feels very different at first than a traditional chair but it only took a couple of days for the mesh to loosen up and it feels very comfortable now. No more sweating best breathability of any type of chairs and I'm surprised I wound up liking the comfort so much (better than expected). If you buy this chair and it feels a little hard at first make sure to give it a few days of good use (I would say at least 24hrs of use to break in). It gets much more comfortable after break in.

Nice!

I like the design. I like the functions. I can sit in it all day. It has needed the screws to be tightened already 2 times after 2 weeks of daily use. Arms ar a little "wobbly" but all works well. I hesitate to really "crank" on the screws to tighten them too snug as my experience in the past has been unfavorable to the chairs of my past. Overall it is nice. The head rest a lumbar support is great for those confined to desks & talking on the phone for extended periods of time.

Absolutly love this Chair
on December 4, 2013

I had back surgery and my other chair at work wasn't cutting it. I went to my local Staples and sat in every chair on the floor this was my Favorite that my company wasn't going to give an arm and leg for. It took me a couple weeks to get use to the chair but I love it! It reclines great and sits all the way up and locks into place and when I say all the way up i mean all the way up! And that's what I needed due to surgery. I do have to put a memory foam seat pad in the seat from time to time. Only complaints are it came in almost two weeks late than the ETA and then it was broken had to get another one delivered took another week. Other than that I would love to get one to keep at home. LOVE THIS CHAIR!!!!!

Not for 5'10" and Taller
on December 4, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
This is a small chair. I am 5'10" and had to take the head rest off as it was hitting me in the top of the shoulders even when tilted at its highest angle. This chair is narrow even with the arms assembled at their widest point. I constantly snag my holstered cellphone on the arm when I sit down and I am NOT a big person. I also wish the seat extended to the backs of the knees further than it does.

Soooo comfy!

I work at home sitting at my computer for hours every day. Now I realize how bad my previous "ergonomic" chair was. I'm having to overcome bad habits I developed in order to compensate for that. My body is finally relaxing.
