I am very pleased with this chair. It is very comfortable. Even if the weather is hot I don't feel uncomfortable sitting in it at my for an hour or more writing working with the computer or just simply reading. That's the chair for e.
The Mesh chair gives great support to the neck and back. Perfect. The problem is that the mesh is not the best support for the buttocks. After sitting for a few hours the seat becomes uncomfortable. Rising from the chair after a few hours stiffness in the buttocks. This is one of the best chairs for the lower back and I just really love the ability to rock back. Comfortable distance of backward lean. Then to have the gentle support to the neck is an added bonus. Being able to adjust the arms and height is also a plus. Great chair if the seat were padded it would be perfect!
I purchased this chair in store about 10 weeks ago. After spending a week with a sore neck I tried many chairs to find the perfect one to sit in at a desk for 9 hours a day 5-6 days per week. This chair was by far the most comfortable and my neck issues cleared up in just a few days after beginning to use it. Fast forward several weeks and my husband suffered a rotator cuff injury (yup we are over 50 weekend warriors with an at-home office!). He began using MY chair to be able to work for any length of time. This required another trip to Staples to purchase a second chair. Now we are both happy and comfortable. This chair is easy to position to the correct desk height it rolls easily on a mat and wood floor. I find the lumbar support to be especially helpful. This chair works with two very different body types--I am female approx 210 pounds and 5'6" tall my husband male is 5'8" and weighs 135 soaking wet on a good day. We are both very happy with this purchase.
The assembly of chair was easy. I completely assembled the chair in 20 minutes. I found seat and arm adjustments were easy. I rolled the completely assembled the chair into my home office and I love it. I would definelty recommend this chair to all my friends and family. The price I paid for this chair was affordable and nice. I looked at other stores and found they couldn't match this very nice chair. I am a big man and I fit comfotprtably in this chair. My wife is smaller than me and she loves This chair also.
WHY WHY WHY would they make a product so close from being awesome and not do it? All this chair needs is a way to control the back to offer some kind of resistance so you don't end up slouching. Right now after 10 min you feel your back slowing going back The rest is great. Love the armrest adjustment love the mesh love the headrest loved the assembly process. Very sturdy parts. Screws fit perfectly. Manual easy to follow. So if you'll sit on your chair for 10-15 min in a row this chair's great. If you'll be working for hours unless you have good abdominals to keep your body straight then you won't like it
I bought this to replace a nice high backed manager's chair I've had for years. I developed back trouble and after seeing the x-rays of my back I realized how years of bad posture habits hat contributed. Then I noticed that although the manager's chair had nice curves and padding they were in the wrong places for my body and they were encouraging my bad habits. I shopped around for quite awhile before finding this one. The mesh provides good support while adapting to my individual shape better than a padded chair. It has lumbar support adjustable arms and a comfortable head/neck rest. It's not the perfect chair but I doubt seriously I'll find that in a price range I can afford or without having something custom made. In the mean time this one will work just fine.
I ordered this chair for my home office. It is quite sturdy and was easy to put together. The back and seat are quite supportive. The only improvement I can think of is if the chair arms had a bit more cushion. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and I am thinking of ordering a second chair
Went to the local Staples on a late Sunday and bought the last one they had right off the showrrom floor preassembled. Salesperson very helpful & said it is the store's best selling chair. Very comfortable and great ventilation for our non-airconditioned house by the beach. Love the tilt back and headrest combo...perfect for a power nap.
