Lose the headrest
on July 2, 2016
Posted by: Paula K.
Assembly of the chair was very easy and the chair itself is very comfortable. The headrest however is not sufficiently adjustable to accommodate my wife's short stature and I've simply removed it. The headrest juts forward so far that it actually pushes her head forward when she sits back in the chair. To make the headrest useful it would require a redesign of the headrest mount so the unit could be moved backward as well as swivel.
I've been sitting in this chair for a week now and I really like it. I spend most of the day at my desk and find it very comfortable. The technical mesh is supportive and a bit bouncy. Even the headrest which I did not think I needed is comfortable when I lean back. I'm 5'4" and find the seat and arm height to be adjustable enough for me. The box it came in was a little beat up but everything inside was in good shape. I unpacked it downstairs and carried the pieces up a bit at a time as some of the sections are heavy. All the parts are well-labeled. The assembly is not difficult though a bit awkward at times. I was able to put it together by myself though it would be good to have some help with attaching the seat to the base. Also the wheels just snap in but require a LOT of pressure to get them in tight. I did not have the strength for it but was able to turn it upright put the wheels into position and sit in it to get the wheels to snap into place. I highly recommend this chair.
NICE WELL BUILT CHAIR. HOWEVER I CAN'T GET IT ADJUSTED SO THAT IT IS COMFORTABLE FOR EITHER MYSELF OR MY WIFE. THE BACK IS SORT OF OK BUT THE HEAD SUPPORT WON'T ADJUST TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION.
