Initial thoughts - Love it
I got this chair about an hour ago, so these are just my first impressions after setting it up. I'll update later if needed. Quick tip: don’t tighten the screws too much until they’re all in place. I’m 6'1" and it fits me well, but anyone shorter might find it too big. I’d say it's good for folks over 5'10"-6'0". Setup took me about 28 minutes. I unpacked it, and then took my time following the instructions. All the pieces came together easily, but I had some trouble getting the first two screws in the back. The back cushion wants to push away from the seat, so if you have someone to help, it makes it easier to hold it in place. If you’re doing it alone, you can squeeze it into place first to get the screws in. A small clamp with something soft can help avoid scratches. Make sure you just tighten the screws a little at first; once they’re all in, you can go back and snug them up. I scratched the arm a bit with the screws, but they'll be hidden by the plastic cap later. As for the chair, it has way more cushion than my old one, so it feels pretty high to me. At the lowest setting, there’s only about half an inch before my heels come up. For someone shorter, it might not work. The lumbar support is better than any office chair I've tried, though it’s a bit firm at max. A couple turns down and it’s comfortable enough for me. I really like more support, so I’ll add a pillow. That’s why I gave the Ergonomic rating a 4; with just a bit more cushion, I’d give it a 5.

Great value for the price. The quality is impressive. The texture and comfort of the chair during long working hours definitely matches what I paid for it. It was simple to put together, and I didn't need any extra tools since it comes with an Allen wrench and clear instructions that made the assembly easy.

Comfortable Chair for All-Day Use
I'm 6'3" and this chair fits me really well—comfortable! I didn't get any help from the assembling assistant, but I managed to put it together without any trouble. Everything from the frame to the tilt works great. My only concern is that the foam and lining don’t seem that durable, so I'm not sure how long they'll last. I bought this chair in October 2018, so it's been three years of daily use, and I haven't had any problems. Overall, I'm quite happy with it.

I'm really happy with this chair! It feels solid and well-built, for bigger folks. The seat is nice and wide, comfy, and the lumbar support helps during those long work hours. Putting it together was easy, and the adjustable height and tilt work perfectly. It feels stable even at its highest point, and the finish looks great. Overall, this chair is a deal. It's comfy, sturdy, and great for daily use—I would suggest it to anyone in need of a good executive desk chair.

Great chair for back pain!
I got this chair a little while ago, and so far, it’s been great. I’m 6'3" and about 280 lbs, and after hurting my back, I needed a solid chair. I tried a gamer chair, but it didn’t hold up, so I looked for something better and found this one. First off, the assembly was super simple—took me less than 15 minutes. The instructions were clear, and the design makes it straightforward. I used the box to put the chair together, which helped a lot. The chair feels well-built, and I love that the armrests keep it stable. It has good lumbar support, which is important for my back issues. I can sit for longer periods without pain now. Just a heads up, it's made for bigger folks, but that’s what I needed. Overall, I’m happy with it and recommend it if you have back pain. Plus, the price isn’t crazy compared to other options. Just buy it!

Great Chair!
Putting this chair together took me roughly 20 minutes and was pretty straightforward. It's a nice size with decent finishing and a great price. It's rated for up to 350 lbs, and the piston looks to be better than what I've seen on typical chairs, which usually struggle with my weight. We'll see how it holds up over time, but for now, it feels solid and is really comfy.

Just buy this lovely chair!!!
Really nice chair. Thanks to some of the other reviews on this chair, I was able to put this together using advice and it really just came down to not fully tightening anything until all lined-up and then going around like you should with tightening a tire, back and forth incrementally until all tight. I am a recently disabled veteran and also have some degenerative disc disease lower lumbar and since I am back doing electronic music as a form of music/art therapy with a home studio, I realized I needed a much better chair and I am a stocky, 5'9 man at 235 Lbs. This chair fits like a glove with great padding, support in lumbar more than ample, the armrests are just perfect, when I lean head back I am at least resting on headrest perfectly, and with the chair only raised the few inches needed for my work desk ergonomically, my feet are just flatly on floor with no shoes; with shoes solid-footed. With that said, remember that I am 5'9, and my thighs are supported right up to under/at knees. I researched and compared many chairs specifically for big and tall and there's a plethora of offerings out there but I always came back to same few similar chairs and took a chance on my first Hawkins Woodshop Basics Brand item, and could not be happier. I did purchase the 3 year warranty but I can tell you with certainty that the excellent packaging, thick cardboard box, and quality of bolts and craftsmanship; this is a chair that looks 2x it's price on Hawkins Woodshop and glad I have the warranty but do not foresee it being needed. I really wanted a black leather chair but this was only in the brown so want to say that this is deeper walnut/chestnut not a light saddle brown. It's quite attractive and I am not so much an earth colors type. Buy this chair, but heed the advice on taking your time and tighten lastly. By the way, the instructions are one of the most clear worded and straight-forward for any furniture. Stop looking and buy this already. Edit: My particular chronic lower pain that had flared-up, prompting me to research hard before acquiring this chair really has paid for itself, as my back already feels back to tolerable discomfort--huge difference from chronic pain-- and nothing is a panacea or replacement for proper medical care, but I know my copay to a back specialist would easily be more than this chair cost. Very happy and 4 days into comfort. Well-done, Hawkins Woodshop.

Good Chair with a Lot of Room! Assembly required!
This chair comes in a big box that has a warning for two man lift, so be prepared to handle it. The instructions are well written and easy to follow and it went together in about 30 minutes with only a very little trouble. Note: Hardware packages are labeled with letters and make sure you match up what the instruction says with the correct package! The last two bolts were a little of a hassle to get in until I used a Harbor Freight wrachet tie down stray to ease the chair back into position, and then everything lines up and good to go. With the strap it was very easy to align the bolt holes but don'T over tighten the strap! Very comfortable chair, with a lot of room and sturdy. Pros: Well Written instructions; extra hardware, well constructed and solidUPDATE: Sep 2018 The chair is still working great but the seat cushion padding seems to have shifted and now I have us use a pillow to stay in the middle of the seat. Don't know if this was caused by my boney butt or it the seat cushion is breaking down. Cons: Found a staple end poking through the bottom of the chair set, heavy shipping box, back holes hard to align without additional strap to pull into place. Hardware packages were sealed plastic instead of zip lockI am under 200 pounds, and it seems sturdy to me, but someone with more bulk might have more problems.

Initial thoughts - Love it
I received this chair approximately one hour ago so this review is on initial thoughts and setup. I may update it down the road and will tag it as such if I do. Tldr; don't tighten the screws more than a few turns til they are all in. Fits me as a big and tall well, but if I were much shorter it would be too big. Would recommend to anyone over 5'10"-6'0"! Setup - 28 minutesFrom cutting the top of the box to sitting in the chair took me approximately 28 minutes. I have experience assembling other households items such as grills and dressers, but I took my time reading the instructions before each step to make sure I wouldn't have to back track. Ymmv. The pieces all fit together easily. The only part I struggled a bit with was getting the first two screws in when attaching the back. The back is designed to sit tightly against the seat, so the cushion naturally fights you while trying to get things together. If you have a second person get them to push the seat into position while you thread the screws. If you are flying solo get the back as close to the right position as you can, squeeze it into place then hold the back tightly against the arm to get the screw into place. With small hands you may consider using a clamp with something soft between it and the seat to prevent damage. Don't tighten any of the screws more than a few twists to hold it in place and you should have minimal issues getting it all together. Once all screws are in, tighten each one a few turns then move to the next, circling around until all are snug. This will help everything fall into place smoothly. Note- I got a couple scratches on the arm from the screws that go into the back of the seat, but as long as you use caution when tightening the scratches will get covered by the plastic plug. Initial Thoughts:The seat has a lot more cushion than I am used to so it feels like I am sitting high. My old seat cushion is blown out from years of use, so it will definitely take a bit of getting used to. I am 6'1" and with the seat at it's lowest I've got about 1/2" before it would start picking my heels up off the ground. If my legs were too much shorter it would be too big, but then again this is a big and tall chair, so it's just right! This chair has more lumbar support than any office chair I have sat in, but unfortunately it's pretty firm at it's max. A couple twist down from max makes it pretty comfortable. I like significantly more lumbar support than most, and will supplement this with a tempurpedic pillow, so this is not an issue for me. This is why I gave the Ergonomic rating a 4. If the Lumbar was slightly more cushioned at it's max I would give it a 5, regardless of my desire for excessive lumbar support.

Overall, this is an excellent value for the price. Comfortable, sturdy, and suitable for long daily use—I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable executive desk chair.

Very Comfortable Chair
I am 6'3". The chair perfectly suited me and is very comfortable. The Assembling Assistant did not turn- even after a week after receiving the product. So I have attempted the assembling and could do it with ease. The frame, tilt, revolving etc are perfect. But the foam and the lining materials do not appear to be of good quality and may not lost long. Anyway very happy with the product. I have purchased this chair in October 2018, 3 years back for my every day use in my office. Overall I consider this is an excellant product. Till this day I have no issues at all.

Nice big Chair!
Assembly took about 20 minutes with no problems. A nice chair with decent finishing for a good price. It is rated to 350 lbs, and it appears the piston is superior to regular chairs, which is the usual point of failure due to my weight. Only time will tell on that, but in the mean time the chair appears solid and is very comfortabe.

座ると気持ち良い
安っぽくなく、クッション性能も良いです。値段も手ごろです。組み立ては少し大変でしたが、それは他のオフィスチェアも同じことだと思います。
