WOW! (BUT — See updated edit) WOW! Just WOW!! I’m seriously impressed with this chair, so far.I’m 6′ and 250 lbs, I spend 60 – 80+ hours a week at my desk in a chair. I’ve had some good chairs that I’ve paid a lot of money for and I’ve had some poor chairs I’ve paid a lot of money for too. This is the first really good chair I didn’t have to pay a lot of money for.The engineering in this chair is first rate. Putting it together it’s obvious that it is meant to withstand some punishment. The metal hardware is significantly beefier than my last chair (Which was a Serta Big and Tall and lasted 2.5 years before failing totally). The struts that comprise the arms and hold the back to the seat are massive for a desk chair. The gas strut actually stays where I put it and doesn’t leak down giving me that sinking feeling every time I lean back. The lumbar support is a plus and it is infinitely adjustable from nothing to a fairly good lumbar bulge.The seat padding is very firm,…
BUY THIS CHAIR. Seriously. I am 6’2″ 260. I had the basic Amazon Basic Executive. Loved it. Ordered another brand as a replacement. It was fine. I wrote a review about it, in which I said I was going back to the tried and true. I decided, after I wrote the review, to spend the extra $50 or so on the Big & Tall version. Just got it today. Son put it together in no time. Delivered it to me in my office, where I am writing this.I can’t stress this enough: BUY THIS CHAIR. Not a paid endorsement. Not a biased reviewer. Just a guy who appreciates good advice. This is good advice. Bang for the buck with this chair is a credit to whomever chose this as an Amazon Basic. It blows away $1K office chairs.Will it last? Well, my last one lasted years. This one probably will, too. If not, I will let you know.
The chair itself is comfortable. We replaced the castors for a smoother roll The chair itself is comfortable. We replaced the castors for a smoother roll. Arms are holding up well and not separating from the body which is an issue we had before with a different brand chair, so that is great. Had very high hopes for this! However there is a section of the material on each side of the seat at the seams that does not appear to be leather, it’s cheaper than the rest of the material used. It’s cracking and is now splitting from the rest of the seat (see photos). Being used by someone under 250lbs so this pull/wear was unexpected and disappointing.
