Im going to be real here. I am 59 and I am 390 pounds. I have gone through chairs more than I like to admit. I have lost a great deal of money buying cheap brands that tells you one thing but ultimately, the experience tells another story.
Problem One:
Within 2/3 weeks the exhaust on my chairs give out. This is frustrating, because I have not only a long torso, but long legs to go with it. When the chair is all the way down, my knees, my hips, my lower back, up to my shoulders and neck are strained. Sometimes I can lift the chair back up, but a couple day later it will go down.
Problem Two:
The backs of the chairs are usually narrow and short. Like I mentioned above, I have a long torso to go with my long legs. I am not the average person with the either or thing, I have both length in both areas. The back usually come to just below my shoulder blades. I never have support for my shoulders, neck or head with chairs.
Problem Three:
I am a large woman, with wide hips. Most of these chairs these days has those winged things on the seat. Some people like it; I DEPLORE IT! They always stab into my thighs, make my thighs numb, and cause pain when I get up from the chair.
Now, this chair from s in my opinion, is a Godsend.
Love:
1. The height exhaust is about 4 inches more than average at maximum height.
2. The back it wide and tall. I lean back, my neck is met perfectly with the head pillow.
3.) The seat is wide, flat, and comfy. I sit at my desk up to 6 hours at a time doing assignments for my collage class. And the best part, when I finally stand, my back, knees, or ankles arent stiff; therefore giving me an easy transition from sit to stand.
4.) The back pillow is awesome! Finally, something wide and square to really form to my back curve. I dont use the massage often. Its not because I dont like it, its because I dont need it. My back doesnt ache from sitting in this chair for hours.
5.) I love that I have control of the angle of the backrest. Sometimes, I like sitting straight up, other times, I prefer something a little less stationary. I love when I watch t.v. that I can adjust it like I would in the movie theatre.
6. My most favorite part of this chair is the rocking mechanism. I havent been able to lean back in a chair and rock without worry for a very long time. There is nothing that tells me I am straining any part of this chair when I lean back and rock. That makes me very happy.
Only thing I dont like:
I have an old shag carpeting in my room, so the wheels have a hard time moving, so I try and use the armrests but they move very easily, making it hard to push back in the chair, or move the chair to a place I need it to be. Other than that, I cant find any other fault with this chair.
I once bought a chair that said it would handle up to 500lbs. The exhaust broke on it within 3 weeks. I was 460lbs, and I was not happy that almost every chair I bought died on me. I have had this chair for almost three months, the exhaust hasnt given out. I wont lie, I have flopped into this chair a few times on purpose to test the exhaust, and heavily landing in a chair would normally make the exhaust give out; NOT THIS ONE! Its going strong.
I am so very happy that I finally found a chair that is tall enough for my legs, high enough for my back, and since I am still losing weight, I wont have to worry about the exhaust dying on me any time soon.
Thank you, s, for finally creating a chair that meets all the needs of a big and tall person, without breaking the bank!
Looking for satisfaction, youve found it!
