nice big chair, but lumbar support poorly aligned

Verified Purchase:Yes
Took longer than I thought to assemble. Very solid but the lumbar support was uncomfortable no matter how it was positioned. We returned this and ordered a different model with mesh seat.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great quality, horrible design
on July 9, 2026

As other reviewers have said, this chair has you constantly slouching/leaning back. I am 6’6” and 260 lbs and bought the chair for its height. But it’s horrible otherwise. I am hoping they’ll let me swap it for a chair that lets me sit upright like an adult.

Permanent recline, too high
on July 9, 2026
Posted by: Brian
I asked my workplace to buy this for me. It looked pretty good. The back angle is all wrong and is different than the picture. It has you leaning back at 30 - 45 degrees locked in the upright position. The lumbar support cannot be removed and feels like someone's knee in my back. Also, the lowest position is too high for my desk. I have my computer set up in the corner of the two desk pieces and the chair makes me bend over to set my arms on the desk.

I’m a big guy at 6’2 and 325. I’m swimming in this chair. It has nowhere close to an upright position and it’s just not a comfortable set up. If you like to be slouched back and reclined permanently it might be fine, but if you sit up straight you might as well be sitting on a stool because you’ll never touch the backrest or Lumbar support with you back…not a good option IMO. Should have kept the box and returned. Now I’m stuck with a terrible chair that never gets used…
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had back issues and a surgery over the last 10 years or so and unfortunately this chair is not for me. Ive used it maybe 10x over the 3 weeks I've owned it and have had nothing but back aches and pains every time.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I had a chair that I finally identified as part of my back pain problem. This new chair is just what the doctor ordered. I find it looks better as well as fits better and has improved my posture and back issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!
