Amazon Basics Bonded Leather Big & Tall Executive Office Computer Desk Chair, 350-Pound Capacity, Black, 29.5"D x 27.25"W x 47"H

TIP: Before you start to actually assemble, put the bolts in first to prep the threads...Put each bolt in by hand to not strip the threads, then a couple of turns with the included allen wrench, in ALL of the holes. Now remove bolts and start to assemble per instructions that are included in the box... This is the method that should be used for assembling most things. It makes assembly much easier...Reading the multitude of questions and reviews stating the difficulty of assembling this chair, as well as others, is the inspiration for starting this review and telling the secret...It was packaged properly in a box stating the net weight (chair) as 38.6 pounds, gross (total) weight 44.1, ...seems a bit odd for the cardboard and bubble wrap to weigh 5.5 lbs... Box is 30.5" wide x 15.25" deep x 25.25" tall.Chair was delivered before the estimated time (I have Prime and live in Tampa, FL). The pieces inside the box were well protected according to the piece, either with bubble wrap or cardboard separators. No missing pieces. It was delivered by Amazon truck. With the tracking, I could see the exact position of the truck on the map, showing distance and how many stops before mine. (NOTE: Amazon, GREAT feature!)Chair was purchased August 25, 2020 and delivered August 27, so I am not sure when they started using this blue thread lock compound on the bolts, which should eliminate the bolts from loosening. I am happy that they did! This is important as I have read many reviews for various chairs that state the bolts loosen with time. (Yes, I have a bit of OCD and do a lot of research as I also buy for our office, and I tend to prefer overkill). The box shows April 2020 as time of manufacture.I am 6'1", ~250 pounds and have only used the chair for a day and a half. My initial findings are that it is a very sturdy chair, the reclining (rocking) mechanism is great, as is the comfort and size. No side to side wobble. For the price, I am assigning 5 stars, although this may change with time...The finish (or paint) of chair is not that durable... Removing the packing tape, removed a small patch of the paint on the interior of one of the arms... Small jar of paint for model cars and such, at a hobby store, is relatively cheap ($2-3) and should work for a touch up, if this bothers you. I am sure that they are available online, however seeing the exact color in person may make for a better match.I have back problems and need a chair that can keep me in a proper upright sitting position and give support without feeling like I am going to fall backwards when putting a bit of pressure on the back, as so many chairs do. I have adjusted the tension perfectly for this.If I want to rock like a rocking chair, it performs perfectly. Good spring tension and seems like a strong spring was used. It can lean back just enough to be able to comfortably put your feet up on an ottoman or the top of your desk.The lift piston holds my weight up at the highest setting, no problem. The top of the seat in the lowest position is ~17" from floor, highest is ~21". Pushing the lift lever in locks the chair in the upright position. Pulling it out allows you to rock or lean back, your choice... Chair also has a tension knob to adjust how easy the chair leans back or rocks.The seat is ~22" wide between the arms and ~21" deep (front to back). The back is ~21" wide at top, ~22" at bottom by ~28" high. Cushioning on seat and back is ~3" thick. It does appear to hold me up and not bottom out. Only time will tell the truth, if it will hold up my 250 lbs....The armrests are ~2.5" wide by ~14" long, with padding about 1" thick. If I put pressure, I can feel the frame. The end of armrests are ~6" from end of seat and are ~7" above seat. You can calculate if the chair arms can fit under a desk by adding the desired height of seat and about 7.5 - 8" for clearance of arms.Overall width of outside of armrest to outside of armrest is ~27".SIDE NOTE: When I ordered the chair, I also ordered the "Everlasting Comfort Seat Cushion for Office Chair - Tailbone Pain Relief Cushion - Coccyx Cushion - Sciatica Pillow for Sitting (Black)". It just arrived!(And I also ordered the "Everlasting Comfort Lumbar Support Pillow for Office Chair - Pure Memory Foam Lumbar Cushion for Car (Black)" that is not due to be received until tomorrow.)I am not sure if I will permanently use (either/both) with this chair, however with the seat cushion on this chair, it feels like I am sitting on a cloud! The seat cushion does fit perfectly on the chair seat and will stay positioned due to the design of the chair seat.(For the Q & A person asking if the cushion will muffle flatulence in an office environment, I don't believe so as it has a cut out for the coccyx... As far as a permanent smell, perhaps adult diapers may help you prevent that... Just thought that I would throw that out there in case you are reading this! )It rolls reasonably well on the berber carpet in my bedroom when I want to roll back for viewing the television. I do have a cheap chair mat under the desk that requires me to lift up the front of chair to permit the chair to get back on the mat.I might purchase a better chair mat or change casters depending upon the results of repeated use...I will update this review as time passes, disclosing any defects or changes that I may encounter.Disclaimer: I am NOT affiliated with Amazon, et al, in any way. I pay for my product and give a review if I have the time and feel that it may help someone. This is my experience with this chair. I hope that it may help you!I just wanted to add, again due to reviews, just because an item is made in China, it doesn't automatically mean that it is junk. Keep in mind that they are typically made to specifications that were provided by...American engineers. If cheap junk is spec'd, it will be cheap junk!Please let me know if I left any details out. Thanks for reading, I hope that I didn't bore you! Good luck and stay safe!

Reading through the reviews a lot of people were frustrated but it’s really dependent on the people paid relative to quality: essentially it’s a staples office chair worth around $125-150. If you pay over this your expectations won’t match the price because there are better chairs at those price points. Day one review is it’s comfortable and very wide, probably more space than the average big and tall needs.It’s very easy to assemble; just don’t tighten the screws completely until both sides are in place. There are only 12 screws: 4 for each armrest, and 4 for the height adjustment. Took about 10 minutes including unpacking the box and bringing up a flight of stairs.Only complaint is for a taller person the seat height needs to be higher. My ideal comfort position is for my knees to be at a 90 degree angle or greater; with this my knees rest higher than my hips which may create discomfort later.Will update if need be, so far 4 stars.

So I am a big guy, 5'10" and 250lbs. Since the COVID pandemic, I am now working from my home office nearly 100%. I had a good chair that was fifteen years old and figured my derriere deserved an upgrade and I bought this chair.The good:1. chair seat is large, wide and deep. plenty of room and my legs do not touch the armrests.2. the lumbar is supportive and comfortable for me.3. The wheels are excellent, very smooth.4. material is fairly nice imitation leather5. the armrests are at a good height and are soft/comfortable.6. The height adjustment is good and the piston seems durable.The not so good:1. seat cushion is fairly thin and a bit soft. I am guessing I will need to replace it with a firmer foam within the year.2. The shoulders are a bit further back than I prefer as I like a nice upright position3. The paint on the base and armrests is very low quality and will easily mar/chip/peel if you are not careful4. The tension adjustment on the tilt spring does not absolutely nothing that I can tell

I previously purchased this chair in brown for my office, and it was super comfortable and has held up well. I got the big and tall chair with a higher weight capacity, as I thought it might last longer than a lower weight capacity chair. I'm 5'6 and love the fit of this chair. When my home office was complete, I ordered it in cream (because it was less expensive and color did not matter to me). I put it together myself in between conference calls while I was working from home sick. It was that easy to follow the instructions and put together. My husband, who has had multiple chairs that are not quite right, sat in the chair and decided he wanted one for his office too. So we ordered the third chair. He really liked the fit and comfort of the chair and he's 6'1. It is easy to adjust and the comfort cannot be beat! Would buy again, if necessary.

This chair has held up fairly well and I like the design of using the handles to attach it to the seat rather than a single metal plate.The problem with this chair is the bolts are a softer metal than I’ve seen in normal bolts and one of them split. I’m nowhere near 350 pounds and I’ve had this chair a little under two years. So if the bolts weren’t junk I’d still be using it. Instead I’m shopping for a better one under a different brand.Oddly enough trying to drill out or remove the broken bolt is hard because the surrounding metal is extremely strong. So again, good chair, cheap bolts.Id suggest using your own bolts for better long term use. (3/16 inch 1/4x20 threading, and have some washer to squeeze the plastic handles down).

Ya tenía tiempo buscando una silla amplia y cómoda, en especial para personas Big&Tall...la mayoría eran muy angostas, cortas o el material muy malo. Está silla es cómoda y de buenos materiales, quizás el único defecto que vería, es que yo al ser alto (1.87) el respaldo siento que me queda un poquito bajo, pero nada que no lo compense la comodidad de la silla en general.

nice chair

There is a handy YouTube video that showed me what I had done wrong. I had installed the frame to the seat backwards which made the seat lean forward; once switched it was a more comfortable seat.Make sure you do not snug the bolts as you assemble them; this allows for minor adjustments along the way. Once fully assembled then snug the bolts.Assembly was fairly easy.

It was easy to set up and it looks just like in the pictures. It is comfortable. Would have loved more padding on the seat. I use a cushion for more support.

This chair is much lower quality than the previous model of Amazon office chair. Less features, lower quality finish. Some plastic pieces came already flaking their coating.The manual for this chair also clearly states a 220 Lbs weight limit, not 350 Lbs as Amazon falsely claims.
