I went looking through Amazon for a replacement chair for my computer desk. The old chair was refurbished by myself and purchased from a second-hand market. It's beautiful, but after a couple years of wear and hours of sitting at the computer, my neck was killing me! Keep in mind that I have a relatively physical job lifting baggage 12 hours+ at the airport, so my body is aching when I get home. I needed a comfortable chair with a high-back to rest my weary neck.

I read some reviews of other chairs that say they were easy to assemble and in actuality were not.

(Keep with me, I'm going to sum-up to a raving review!)

I looked at a few chairs with massage features - vibrate & knead with embedded rolling balls. Well, I tried one of those chairs. The features are great, but the chairs are ultimately uncomfortable.

(Here it comes, I'm going to tie this all together.)

Not this chair! It is THE most comfortable chair I have EVER sat in! I wasn't sure what I was getting looking at a picture, so I went to Office Max. All their chairs sucked! I went to Office Depot and fell in love!

I can sleep in this chair! I can put my head back and play at the computer with a heating pad on my neck. It's roomy and oh sooooo comfortable! Words cannot express how much I love this Chair!

When I took it out of the box, I thought, "this is going to be so hard to put together and the air lift wont work; it probably wont feel the same way it did in the store." WRONG! I put it together in probably 5 minutes. The clean-up was harder - picking-up the bags and throwing away the box. Why? Because I could not get out of my new chair. Heck, I may just throw away my bed and sleep right here...well, if I could get up.

As for the massaging. I just may get a massaging seat pad so I can put it in my car too.

If you want the full effect, get a cordless mouse and keyboard!!

Trust me, you will not regret pampering yourself in cushy comfort! GET THIS CHAIR!!

whether you use this chair in the office or at home, this is a great chair. I can't belive how comfortable it is I am a 6'2" big boned large framed 275 pound guy and I feel small in this chair. It is great! I never thought I would feel this comfortable in ANY computer chair. I am not an executive but a home user who plays a lot of games and I never get tired. It is a pleasure to sit in instead of a pain or dread. Assembly is a snap. Takes about five-ten minutes. You just bolt on the base apply pressure then bolt on the back(it's a high back) and you're ready to go. Comes with a lock for the back when you don't want to recline as well as pressure for hieght and back to support the heaviest people. It says 250 lbs, but it will support more(with a shorter life.)

After much window shopping (research) I bought this chair two weeks ago and yesterday the thing fell apart while I was leaning back and watching a movie on my comp.

Here is the problem, the back support is connected to the seat only by the two handle bars which are made of plastic. While I was leaning back, one of the handles literally cracked open at the junctions where the bottom (right side) two screws are. I fell back wards head first but luckily, my floor is carpetted and I did not hurt myself that much.

The manufacturer rates this chair as big and tall (upto 250 pounds) and for 5 hours of daily usage. I weigh around 210 and I had been sitting on it for less than an hour when the incident happened.

I am surely hoping to get my money back but the rest of you big and tall people beware.

I love this chair. I have fibromyalgia and this chair has made sitting at the computer a lot easier.

I got this chair because I spend a lot of time on front of my home computer and I wanted a roomy chair that would allow me to move around some. I am tall, six feet, but not big, 127 pounds, and I have had this chair for less than six months and the leather is falling apart and the stuffing is coming out of the seat. I don't mind spending money to get a good chair but I cannot afford to be buying two chairs a year at this price.

I have owned this chair for about 9 months. The seat bottom has flattened out and has torn a bit -- I can see the polyfill inside. It is not particularly comfortable anymore. The chair also creaks a lot (as is typical with most inexpensive chairs). It's a lot of money for a chair that has the build quality of one of the cheapie leather chairs that can be had for under $50.

UPDATE: One armrest just broke in half. Unfortunately, the armrests hold the chair seat and back together, so this chair is toast. It received it July 18 (it is May 6 now), so it lasted less than 10 months. What a disappointment. I can't edit my rating and change it to one star...

The only drawback is the lack of height adjustment. Otherwise it's comfortable with a tall back and large seat.

Nice heavy duty office chair.
I'm 260 pounds, and this chair is real solid.
has height and recline adjustments and nice leather.
easy to put togehter ( about 15 minutes)
If you are big or tall, or just normal size and want a larger comfortable office chair.....This is it.

After several years of using, and ultimately destroying, a variety of cheap ~$50 "leather executive chairs", I got tired of it and decided to do some serious shopping. I went to Office Depot's web site and staring me right in the face on their main page was a sale ad for this chair. Only $99 instead of the ususal $140, it said. $100 was about what I wanted to spend, and being a large indivdual, I thought it was serendipity. So I go to my local store the next day and they also have it marked for $99. I take a seat in their display model and instantly fall in love. It feels huge compared to my previous chair, a model by the same manufacturer, but cheaper and not as sturdy. I take the tag to the front to checkout, and decided to read the store's sale ad while I wait for a stocker to get my chair down from the back with a fork lift. I look in the ad just to see if my new chair is in it, but it's not. I was pleased to discover a note saying that I would recieve a $20 gift card with my $99 or up chair purcahse. Excellent, I though, but it got even better when the checker simply deducted the $20 from the purcahse price instead of giving me a gift card. So in short I was able to score this completely excellent and most comfortable chair for only $80!!! It's incredible, seriously. And the lumbar support is excellent. I can sit in this chair for hours at a time and my back doesn't hurt at all. I highly recommend this chair if you are a bit on the larger side like myself and find other desk chairs inadequate for your needs.

This is a nice chair but has a very low weight limit to be classified a big and tall chair. Very misleading. I personally do not consider 250 lbs as big as that is my ideal weight. So buyer beware!
