LOOKS: Attractive enough for any home office. We bought it in gray, and for those wondering, the wood accents on the gray chair are definitely walnut in our case. (It looks like the black chair has cherry wood.) But its not as attractive as it is in the marketing image. The back of the chair is more mottled than the rest of it, and the gray bonded leather feels more like vinyl. The wood accents are not warm, high/gloss walnut stain on nicely grained wood, theyre darker with no discernable grain markings and have more of a satin finish at best, much cheaper looking in person.
HEIGHT/SIZE: As it says, this is definitely made for very big and tall humans. We added our own wheels, so our chair sits about an inch higher than as shipped. With that in mind, the shorter of us is on tip toes when the chairs set at its highest.
COMFORT: Well cushioned with a good deal of padding, especially at the front of the seat where it curves over. This is great for blood circulation in the legs (it does not cut it off at all if your feet are flat on the floor). This is the best part of the chair for us so far. Two tall/large humans are using this chair (one is 63 and 285, the other is 511 and 250), and while the top back of the chair supports the shorter persons head, its more of a neck hit for the taller of us.
SUPPORT: We both find the seat to be too deep to support our backs at all when sitting properly (upright) and working/typing, and theres no way to adjust that. While we could see in the marketing images that the back was slanted, we had no idea just how much, and assumed there was a way to adjust the pitch of the chair, but we assumed wrong. The lower back of the chair does not even touch either of our backs when we sit up straight, and the lumbar adjustment knob doesnt help, even when tightened to max. Your back is only supported when you recline. Lastly, the arms are stationary, and just like the lumbar bits, the arms are only truly supportive when you lean back.
Shipping and assembly were fine/okay, but we cant recommend this chair to people who spend a lot of time in chairs and who need good back/lumbar support to get through the work day. Well amend this review if things break or change drastically before the 1/year warranty expires.
