After teleworking from home for 7 months the old chair was just not cutting it. This was well rated. Had to ordered and have it shipped. The assembly instructions were easy to follow and it took me about 20 minutes to get it all set up.
Like many reviewers the headrest digs into my shoulder blades. I threw a sweatshirt over it and that helped but obviously not perfect. You can just use the chair without a headrest but tilting back without it puts a serious strain on my neck. I’m 6’3 though so there’s that. My fiancée is 5’6 and it’s a good height for her.
I am going to have to return this chair. It was replacing my 8 year old chair (bought elsewhere) that has started to wear out. Saw lots of positive reviews on this one and the price was right so figured I’d try it. I am actually fairly short so I wasn’t worried about some of the headrest complaints coming from taller users. After getting this thing assembled and attempting to adjust it I could not get the back to lock at a reasonable angle. Either its too far forward and feels extremely upright and stiff or its too far back. In the latter configuration the front foam padding also feels like its digging into my legs. I ended up re-buying my 8 year old chair which is apparently still available (not from Staples).
