Review on 🪑 HERCULES Series Big & Tall 500 lb. Rated Black LeatherSoft Executive Swivel Ergonomic Office Chair with Adjustable Headrest by Flash Furniture by Cindy Franklin

After struggling with some back and neck problems over the holidays I finally had to admit that the old chair was too small for me and I had to spend some money had to on one that is actually meant for a very tall user (6ft 8in). This chair definitely fits that description: a little pricey compared to the one it replaces, but for the first time since I was a teenager I've been able to sit in a chair with a headrest that doesn't end somewhere below my neck. The seat is spacious and high enough that I can sit upright without any problems. , an out of shape guy who finishes alone in half an hour or so; The seat back may require a little attention when bolted to the seat base as the seat padding prevents the bolt holes from aligning easily, but I didn't find it particularly difficult to get the alignment accurate enough to tighten the bolts without much effort . uggle, and once I started it, the whole thing was easy to tighten with the supplied hex/hex wrench. I believe older, infirm or injured and petite ladies would probably appreciate some help with assembly and assembly would certainly be easier and safer with help as the components of the chair are heavy and uncomfortable and if you are not very good with tools Hex/Hex key can be cumbersome to use (a good hex socket and an ergonomic screwdriver would be a huge improvement to the design in terms of ergonomics, comfort and leverage) but assembly was fairly easy for me and I suspect most do-it-yourselfers do-it-yourselfers do well on their own, and even better with an assistant. Nothing special in terms of controls etc compared to my previous chair, with one exception: the headrest adjustment wasn't particularly intuitive; When fully extended it falls slightly to the lowest position and it took me a few minutes to realize that it stays extended unless I fully extend it (this is not mentioned in the instructions that came with the chair mentioned). , and I don't think I've seen any obvious clarification online.) The controls otherwise appear to be fairly generic: A dial under the front of the seat adjusts the tilt tension, and a lever under the right side of the seat can be raised to let up Raise the chair when there is no weight on the seat (stand up to operate) and pull horizontally away from the chair to release the upright position and allow for a tilt, or push horizontally toward the center of the chair to lock the seat upright. It doesn't seem to recline much - just a few degrees of recline, a little less than I'm used to from my previous chair - but it's not uncomfortable and I expect to get used to it. still new, and it's too early to say if the chair will prove to be more durable than the one it replaced (a leather office chair in a similar style bought from Wally World a few years ago - 5-7 years with minimal maintenance seems like the best of what could have been done before the leather deteriorated and the hardware started breaking) but this new chair is definitely more comfortable for me and everything feels like an upgrade of the chair it replaces.
