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.
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.
Very comfy chair. I'm not a big person, but I am somewhat tall, and I needed a chair that would lift higher off the ground for my taller desk. The other Staples office chairs that I tried out in store didn't raise to the height that I needed, so this chair fit the bill perfectly. There's definitely extra width in the seat that I don't need, which just makes the chair more comfortable, in my opinion, and my desk/space will accommodate the extra width with the arm rests. Besides one issue, it was relatively straightforward to put together. One of the first instruction pages is missing the letter that points to first part that needs to be screwed to the bottom of the chair, but I eventually figured it out.
Like the chair. This chair was easy to assemble, is not bulky and works well in the space I have. It is comfortable and for the price I paid it is worth it
