Too Short and Painful

As I have had it for a little over a week I can say it is not made for a person who is 6'2" tall. The headrest tilts but can not be raised of lowered. It hits my shoulder blades unless I slouch. The front of the seat presses the back of your legs (because the seat locked fully forward still slants to the back) and anyone who works at a desk will tell you it is the worst thing you can do. The adjustable arms work well and the seat itself seems to be almost as advertised. It is more of a managers chair than task chair. If I has sat in a display chair at the store I would not have made the purchase. With the current situation I will keep the chair and complain about it to every person I know.
I purchased this chair for added comfort while working from home during Covid shutdown. I initially bought another cheaper model elsewhere but experienced intense back pain. I couldn’t be happier with this upgrade. It was easy to put together shipping was fast and no back pain!!
I would buy this chair again. It has a slight bounce to it which I like. The material and shape of the seat are comfortable. It's very easy to put together and the "front" and "back" stickers on some of the parts are helpful. The chair seems to be a good quality. The wheels move smoothly on hard floor and an area rug. When installing the wheels it's important to push very hard to insert them. One thing I would change is the ability to move the head rest out of the way even more--it moves just a little. And I could do without the silver accent on parts of the chair--it cheapens the look in my opinion.
The chair looks nice and is very sturdy. I bought it for my husband while we are working from home. He is 6' tall with a long torso. The headrest hits him in his traps no matter the angle of rotation. It would be nice if the headrest could be adjusted up and down to accommodate for height. (i'm 5' 8" with a short torso and it's the perfect height for me!) The only other issue is the seat frame along the front edge digs into the back of the legs just above the knee. The reclining feature is amazing!
The chair was delivered quickly and all the pieces were intact. The instructions were very easy to follow and it was great they had each screw in a package indicating the step when I need to use them. The chair has been my lifesaver since I work from home now. The support is great and it is very comfortable. I was very happy to have found this chair.
