    SusanPonte Vedra Beach, FL

    Great chair! Very comfortable and has a lot of different adjustments. It is the perfect replacement for my old office chair.

    Seems to be well built and fits what we were looking for in terms of features and budget. Great so far.

    Upholstery Color:Black,

    Upholstery Material:Mesh (w/ Headrest)

    This chair was easy to assemble and feels very well made. The ergonomic design is comfortable for long work sessions and the seat slide is a nice touch. My only wish is that the armrests had side-to-side adjustability in addition to height — that would make it perfect. Still, it’s a solid choice for a home office and I’d definitely recommend it.

    KimLudington, MI

    Upholstery Color:Black,

    Upholstery Material:Mesh (w/ Headrest)

    The chair is very nice but I really need another inch or two in height for it to be comfortable so I will either need to disassemble and return or find a seat cushion to add the extra height

    CarlaOxford, MS

    Upholstery Color:Gray,

    Upholstery Material:Mesh (w/ Headrest)

    This chair is so comfortable! I love the added lumbar support. I have it in my craft room and after sitting for long periods of time, it is definitely needed. The headrest is also a plus. It is extremely well made and easy to put together. Overall, it’s a great chair!

    ReginaJenkintown Pa

    Upholstery Color:Black,

    Upholstery Material:Mesh (w/ Headrest)

    Very comfortable! I really like the adjustable arm rest height and the thickly cushioned seat. The only drawback is that the back leans back quite a bit even when the tension control has been tightened.
