Edit: 2 years later and this chair is cooked. The headrest became loose within a year and no longer hold it's position with any pressure applied to it . The locking mechanism for leaning back no longer works. The gas high adjuster for the seat did hold up as well as the wheels and arm rests. . The biggest fail point for the chair is going to be the plywood base. Mine were out over time and eventually started to crack anytime you lean back. If this thing were made of anything more solid than plywood it would be a great choice for a chair that would last. Overall I got a year and a few months out of it before it became unusable or uncomfortable to use daily I'm 6'6 & 350lb and this chair works like a dream. I was concerned the chair wouldn't hold up as many that claim a higher max capacity weight, usually don't actually support it. I sat in this chair and held 2 25 pound weights above my head in the upright and leaned back position and didn't hear a creak or have anything break. Now I'm not advising you to use this this to lift weights, but that was 400 pounds on the chair and it took it like a champ where other would squeak for mercy lol. Easy assembly, took maybe 30 minutes to get everything set up while following the assembly video in the product pictures from the manufacturer, so kudos to them for that. The main thing I was looking for was back support and I'm happy to report the back support here is excellent. I feel no back press after sitting in it for a few hours straight both leaning back and upright. There's a little removable pillow in the back of the chair that can be adjusted for an ideal personal fit. The arm rests do not swivel or adjust, only go up in a position beside the back of the chair or down, which help when trying to put the chair under a desk if your desk isn't necessarily enough. While it wasn't a favor for me, it may be for some. The chair does sit relatively high on the highest setting if you're under 6 feet, but on the lowest setting my 5'7 partner was able to have their feet flat in the ground, so this chair could work for you if you're under 6 feet but above 5'2 on the lowest setting. Just crank it up for when you want to swing your feet like a kid if anything lol. The roller skate style wheels are something people pay for separately for on other chairs to reinforce support and not mess up carpet, so the fact that this chair came with them as a default was a major plus. The headrest snaps into 4 positions for added comfort when leaning back. This chair is everything I could ask for coming from one of those crappy gaming chairs; between the comfort and the ease of setting up, it's an easy recommend for my larger friends. Read more
This chair is a great deal at the price I paid of $99 for the brown version. The black one is currently listed at $100 more, and I doubt the color really makes that much of a difference. The chair goes together easy enough, with two sets of instructions included (one on the packaging, another in paper form in the box) it took me about 45 minutes to put it together. The assembly is all hard-grade plastic, but I feel that it will do fine in holding me up. It seems to do well with 280lb me on it, and is just as comfortable holding 50lb+ more. The cushion is plush and very relaxing. The armrests feel nice, and flip up and away if you don't need them. The headrest is adjustable and cradles my head perfectly. The only thing I wish was that it reclined more than just the (maybe?) 30 degrees or so it gives you. But for long term use, I've found it great so far. Definitely an amazing buy against chairs that cost many times more. Read more
I wanted a chair that would go high enough for my home desk. I also wanted something comfortable, I'm 5'6" and 240. This chair is perfect for me. It's sturdy, I can lean back, I like back pad for my lower back as well. I'm not a good handy person and even i got it put together with ease. My only dislike is the fabric, it's scratchy! I took an old long sleeve shirt and cut the arms off to cover the arms and used the body for my seat. It works. Even with the scratchy fabric I still love this chair. I would not recommend this chair for anyone shorter if they like their feet too touch the ground. The head rest is too high for my head so I'm going to take it off. Read more
Overall, I really like this chair. With how big it is and how plush the seat, headrest and lumbar support are it feels like I'm laying down on a comfy couch when I'm rocked back (I'm 5' 11", 185 lbs). But where it excels in comfort, it lacks in adjustability. You can raise/lower the height of the chair, flip up the armrests, and adjust the orientation of the headrest, and that's it. When you rock the chair back, you're rocking the whole chair, with the seat and armrests. At first I wasn't a huge fan of these design choices, but after a few days of use I've learned that I can live without the adjustability. The lack of adjustability makes for a more sturdy chair with less points of failure, and the armrest don't point up very far, if at all when you're rocking the chair back. So if you can live without being able to adjust various parts of the chair, go for it. I'm very happy with my purchase. Read more
I almost never do reviews, but I had to for this chair. First thing I love about this chair is how easy it is to put together. It took maybe 15 20 min where with other chairs might be 30 min to an hour when the holes and bolts don't line up properly. The next thing is how comfortable it is for my bad hip and bad back. Great seat cushion that doesn't flatten and the back and head support is great. I am 6 ft 1 and the height is great for a tall person. The only thing is I wish it was a little bit wider for my butt since I am a big guy at 380 pounds. In the end this is a great sturdy comfortable chair at a great price! Read more
I bought model LB-2818H in black. I was looking for a supportive chair, for a plus size frame, that didn't make my bottom sweat or ache after an hour of use. I work from home and have used this chair for 8 hours daily, for the past 3 weeks. So far, it's been comfy, cool, supportive and I love that the arms fold up and head rest is adjustable. For reference, I'm 5'4, 300, curvy bottomed and the width and height work perfectly. I did also purchase an under desk foot rest/cushion so I can stretch my legs and use it to push off of so I can lean back throughout the day. Although I read in one review the chair doesn't recline, it indeed will. For the quality, comfort and price, I'd definitely recommend!!! Read more
