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,…
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.
Don’t Waste Your Money! I’ve had this chair for a little over two months and it’s not worth the money at all. I thought I was getting an upgrade with a nice, comfy big and tall chair, but I was way wrong. The seat cushion is already significantly flattened and the whole chair creaks when you move at all. I am a bigger guy but not huge (6’3″ 200lbs) but isn’t that who this chair is supposedly made for? And if you have any kind of laminate or hardwood, hold on tight, the wheels on the chair are like a roller coaster. Every time you sit down, you’ll be sliding across the floor and there’s no way to lock them–at least on the chair I have. And the back does not lock in an upright position. There is always some wiggle. And the seat has this exaggerated thigh support and makes you feel like you can’t sit flat and you’re falling backwards into the chair. I can’t be the only one who doesn’t always want to recline. Overall, I highly regret buying this chair and if I wasn’t outside of the return window (and if the…
