Good Home Office Chair

Review by Bonnie Zouras, 2010-05-12

I've been using this chair for about five years now and it's fairly comfortable. I removed the arms for greater mobility in my home office, and to avoid bumping into the desk drawers and such, since I have limited space. The back adjuster is a nice way to make sure the chair conforms to my posture, and the back breathes, which is important in the summer or in an extra warm room (the one with the computer stuff in it). There is a lever on the side that allows me to recline or lock the back upright. I frequently, accidentally, push it in and inadvertently lock it upright, but I can easily reach back over to the right, under the seat, and pull it back out again. (I prefer a tight reclining option.)

The only reason I can't give this chair a full 5 star rating is that it is at it's lowest possible height and I have short legs and wish it would just go a teeny bit lower. I'm 5'4.5" tall and have a long torso, which gives me short legs. My feet are flat on the floor as I sit in it, but I would prefer just a smidgen more slack under my thighs. (I have several health problems, among them Fibromyalgia, so I'm more sensitive to these kinds of things than most.) If this were a workplace chair, I'd be fine because I'd be in some shoes, which would give me the foot height I need. However, since I'm at home in my thin slippers, or barefoot, I frequently move my legs around or bend them under the chair to compensate.

Overall, it's a good swivel chair with plenty of customization, for the price.

not so good but not so bad

Review by Sungtae Lee, 2009-11-30

overall, the chair is good
the only thing I don't like about this chair is it doesn't lean backward, but sometimes it does. So it is very weird. And there is nothing to touch in the chair to manage that. So I would recommend if you are just going to sit down. but if you like to lean backward and play with it, this isn't for you.

Firm, excellent chair for the price

Review by Karen, 2009-11-28

I am a tall woman (5'10") with a big arse and this is a really comfortable chair. It was easy to put together and rolls smoothly on carpet. I like its stiff back support and ability to change not only its seat height but the arms' heights.

great chair for students

Review by Doreen B. Anderson, 2009-09-15

It is a great chair for students studying or myself. It gives good support for the back and is at a reasonable price.

Good price, but uncomfortable for extended computer work

Review by I. Peters, 2009-07-24

The good:
Good price, large cushion, good height adjustment, "air grid" back means it keeps you cooler

The bad:
For extensive work at the keyboard I prefer chairs that can tilt slightly forward. This chair does not move forward, in fact it's forward-most position is ever so slightly reclined. Furthermore, the lumbar support provides insufficient.
As a another reviewer stated, after a while (4+ hours) the back cramps up and you find yourself shifting around the chair. For me this means pain in the middle to upper back regions.
