Many Features but Still Too Wide for Slim and Tall People

When it came time to replace my comfortable Staples executive chair from 2014 I was unable to find any chairs at Staples (exec task or hybrid) that would fit a person with a tall and slim frame other than one that had a fixed lumbar that was too strong to tolerate (Bentura) and one that had a headrest that juts a person's neck too far forward (Hyken). Otherwise all of the new Staples chairs are fitted to accommodate obese customers yet with no feature to reduce armrest horizontal width. I was able to find some help through a Corporate supervisor in customer service to help me find this Professional Series 1500TM Mesh Chair which has arm rests that tilt inward helping to reduce the width of the chair a little however not as much as if there was horizontal width adjustment possible. Although overall autonomous stylish well-featured and comfortable this chair is still not ergonomically correct for tall thin people. Our arms should be dropped comfortably at our sides while typing but even with this chair's feature to turn-in the arm rests my arms still must bow out 6 inches from my body on each side. As a writer who needs to use the chair a desk mouse and keyboard for hours at a time this causes wear and tear to the entire body. Horizontal width adjustment would fix this problem instantly. For a non-executive chair however this black mesh-exec hybrid chair is stylish for any decor has many features that can be controlled and customized and it is overall comfortable. This chair has abilities to control for seat back height leg height seat depth arm rest in-turning and arm rest height as well as a great recline lock feature. Although there is some lumbar lift positioning the lumbar is only controllable to a point: You can't get rid of the lumbar "support" completely. While the lumbar piece is flexible because it is independent from the rest of the chair backing it is still a little bit strong for someone who does not want the lumbar push at all. However what makes it workable for me is that the lumbar piece is unique in that it moves and flexes to the right or left of my back as I move and I can sit forward while I write. My other disappointment in this chair is that when I wish to recline in the chair with the great lock feature the top edge of the back rest is a hard plastic material that does not have the cushion of the top edge of an executive chair and it is uncomfortable on the back of my head. This problem cancels out many of the benefits of the recline lock. A slightly cushioned top edge would prevent this problem. Also as a result of the hard plastic top edge and a hard structure that protrudes from the back (to allow back adjustments) this chair will mark up your wall if you turn while in it too close to a wall. I put a piece of black pipe foam wrap on the top edges and on the bar in the back to buffer this as I have a smaller office space. 3 Star for overall quality performance style and comfort and features. Loss of a Star for lack of horizontal arm rest width control for thin people and lack of ability to remove all concave lumbar push. Loss of second star due to the hard edge at the top that offers no comfortable head position for enjoying the recline lock feature.

it has a lot of adjustment so you can make it suit your support preferences. Plus the seat and back are mesh allowing air-flow.

I sit a lot and this chair allows me to move around into different positions while working at my desk. I can lean back and it hold me so that I don't feel like I'm falling. It has adjustments for your style and body type.
