Review on Safco Products Uber Big and Tall Mid Back Chair 3491BV, Black Vinyl, 500 lb Capacity for Round-the-Clock Use (Optional Arms Available) by Miles Barney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

For tall people - check out my assembly comments, they may help you.

I personally don't weigh 500 pounds. but. and that's a big ass. In any case. I need a big chair as I'm a big guy. I am very uncomfortable sitting in chairs that feel too wobbly. This is very strong and durable. Seems like an 18 wheeler could easily drive over it. All in all quite easy to assemble. The fact is that a lot of holes are drilled in the bottom pillow. Before attempting to attach the chair back, pay attention to where the front of the cushion is facing. This is indicated by a sticker. However, some force is required to align the screw holes on the bottom pad with the holes on the back pad. The back cushion has a black metal plate that attaches to the bottom cushion. This is the complexity of the assembly. Try this: Lay the bottom pillow face down on the floor. Take the back pad, position it directly over the drill holes and press firmly onto the back pad. This requires a significant amount of effort but is doable if you take your time. Tighten at least one screw and then you can release the pressure. Everything else in the assembly is easy. At first I thought it was slightly damaged as the back and base pads just wouldn't meet. The wheels also need some power, but once they're down, just flip them over and push down. The wheels are included in the frame, a good chair will last for many years. Unlike standard office chairs, it can withstand the punishment of a tall person. Worth the cost.
