ErgohumanErgonomic Executive Leather Chair, Black

I bought this Ergohuman as a replacement for my previous Ergohuman office chair, which was the previous model of this exact same chair. They're almost identical, with some improvements I really like.To put it colloquially, "You can't bust 'em." I use this office chair about 6-12 hours per day, as I used the previous one for 12 years. It's the primary chair I sit in at home.I bought the first one in 2009, and it finally broke recently after 12 years and multiple long-distance relocations (all interstate, including one cross-country, coast-to-coast move). No other chair I've found is nearly as good as this one. The frame is solid metal. The chair is stable and comfy. The adjustable height range accommodates taller people very well. It is a solid chair. Note that it *is* a little heavy for an office chair, but only because it's very durable and well-made.Unlike most office chairs that either sit really low or at an average height, this chair sits either at an average or high height. I'm 6'2, and I adjust it as low as it will go for the right ergonomics for me (my shins are average length). If I elevate the seat all the way, my toes barely touch the floor. If you're tall, you will love this chair.This chair will last you at least a decade, and will have been worth every penny in the end. At the end of the day, I saved a ton of money buying the previous version of this chair instead of a series of cheap chairs over the 12 years. I have every confidence this new version will last me every bit as long, and save every bit as much money versus what I would spend on cheaper chairs.If you're on the fence but seriously considering this chair: Do it; you won't regret it for an instant, especially if you're tall.

After seeing some of the negative reviews of this chair, I was apprehensive to pay this much for one, without sitting on it first.In the past, I have purchased the best chairs that Office Depot/Staples or Costco had for sale. Everyone of those chairs were poorly fitting and lasted about 4-5 years before the frame would break, or the covering/padding would disintegrate. The fit was the biggest complaint I've had about all of these chairs.I'm 6' 1", 170lbs., with longer legs and arms - thought I'd get that out of the way as it's helpful to know what body types either like this chair or complain.I broke my left collar bone at the shoulder years ago and never got it fixed. My neck is more sensitive than most. I needed a chair that was fully adjustable and comfortable for long periods of sitting. I'm an IT admin and have spent 20 hours in a chair, in one day. I have a home office so I also needed a chair that reclines comfortably and quietly.All that said, this is the nicest, best fitting office chair, I've ever sat on! I went through the adjustments and got it setup properly and I can't convey the relief and blissful feeling I get from sitting in this chair, typing this review now.In my experience, this chair:has no foul odordoes not make any noise while reclining or movingis not too firmdoes not dig in to my back with the lumbar support - to where it is uncomfortable - it's perfect for me at the highest settingheadrest's height is not in an uncomfortable spot - it's got many angles that work wellI will update this review if things change, but this chair is well-built and should last a very long time. I would recommend it to anyone.

I ended up returning this chair because I found it to be uncomfortable in the seating area and the arms much too wobbly with minimal effort-while the chair is very nice looking I found it lacking in the comfort I needed and it caused painful pressure in the thigh area when seated after about an hour or so of sitting-which was the reason I sold my Herman Miller Aeron. I returned it within two weeks and was literally shocked at what they charged me-I paid a total of $1023.73 with taxes and my refund amount was only $807.81-the additional $215.92 they kept was for "restocking fee and return shipping"-BUYER BEWARE"-if this chair does not meet your needs you are probably better off selling it than returning it unless you have a free money lying around for them to keep-will never again order anything from this seller!!

Pro: many adjustments possible, nice leather, easy to put togetherCons: Seat is a bit hard and uncomfortable after about an hour, seat length is not adequate for taller persons (I am 6 and even with the back pushed all the way back, the back of my legs are not supported and I wear a 30-32" length pant leg)If I could have tried before buying would I have purchased? No.

I'm sitting on this chair as I write this. I have had it for about 2 months now and use it everyday at my office. I am a counselor so I sit a lot. It is a comfortable chair with lots of adjustments to make your sitting experience more pleasant. There seems to be plenty of support. I have to say though...I am still not convinced it was worth it. My 10+ Lazy Boy I had before was pretty good...but I got this because I was having lower back issues. Again...my jury is still out as to the benefits of the chair.
