16 Best Ergonomic Chairs For Tall People (2023 Updated)

I was impressed by the positive reviews, but mostly I was influenced by the Customer Care response to a question about place of manufacture. The Office Chairs representative stated that the chair is made in the United States.

This is not the case. In at least two places, there is the clear evidence that the chair is manufactured in Taiwan. Three-star reduction for dishonesty. The chair does appear to be well-made, all the parts were present in the box, and it was fairly easy to assemble.

However, the back brace came partially-assembled, which makes me wonder if they sent me a chair returned by another customer. Since the chair will get light usage in my home, I’m hoping that it will at least last a long time.

If I could turn back the clock, I would probably order a less expensive chair from “you know who. “.

Like: It looks nice. It was easy to assemble. That’s why it was given 1 star. Dislike: It is not comfortable. Had only 2 months, and the chair has split from the seam, on the seat, front right side(facing) I’m very disappointed.

Not even sure if this can even be repaired. Provided photos of the split side and the other(can see where the material is starting to separate from the thread. :(.

For the price I was expecting a “so so” product, but I was pleasantly suprised, it is well cushioned, very comfortable, and my hubby said it was easy to put together and sturdy. Far better than my old chair which was more expensive, and had less cushioning.

very happy with it. Quick delivery and good service from Viking.

I brought this for my 9 year old for Christmas. Its big, suited more for an adult but I think that’s why he loves it so much. It’s big and cosy and he has lots of space to move around. The only thing he has struggled with is the cushion doesn’t seem to rest properly because of his size.

Either way, he prefers with the cushion rather than without. He spends much more time on his PC now and is finally getting more use out of it. We are very happy with our purchase and think the price was spot on.

Bought this as new replacement gaming chair for my son for Xmas and been looking for one with the foot rest. Have to say this has been the easiest boxed piece of furniture I have ever had to put together.

Good quality and easy to follow instructions. All the parts were packaged well including all the screws and parts and they even supply you a little pack of spare screws etc. Would def recommend this chair and my 14 year old is very happy with it.

Quick tracked delivery as well from company.

If you plan to watch a lot of movies, program or play a lot of PC games where this chair is where you’ll spend most of your day this chair isn’t worth it. Mine lasted about a year and a half. I’m not even 200lbs and took very good care of the chair.

it’s a comfortable chair i really liked and got my share of complements from. The biggest flaw to the design of this chair is the part that your legs can rest on when you’re done with it and push it back in, if it’s not in the whole way you may fall forward.

There should be a locking mechanism of some sort. I’m not a fan of how the “lumbar support” is pretty much a fanny pack with stuffing in it that clips to the chair. I was expecting much nicer in this price range.

it feels like real leather but isn’t, it’s not very durable. The usual metal studs in jeans started to dig into the chair after about a year. Luckily it can recline in various positions if you’re binge watching a series of movies or shows.

The allen screws I wish they provided more of in case I wore some out for maintenance of the chair or so. The biggest tips with this is when assembling it is do the last half to full turn with the short end of the allen key if you plan to tighten every screw by hand otherwise the chair won’t stay sturdy.

When you have the chair assembled loosen the screws ONE at a time and dip the threaded part (what goes into the chair) into wood glue. It’s the only thing that kept the screws in place. Otherwise the screws won’t stay still for more than a week.

How mine broke was I started to hear “snaps” and my chair went down a little. I looked down and saw the part the wheels connect to had a big crack in it. That part of the chair is made of plastic. would I buy another one of these? no.

The chair was very quick to assemble and easy to put together. Everything you need to assemble comes in the box and even extra screws if one goes missing. Everyone has their preferences and everyone’s body is different.

I have coworkers who need their armrest to be adjustable or they are too tall And need not only a regular headrest but a headrest that is adjustable. Since this does both, this office chair can easily be used by many of my coworkers.

Anyways the seat hits all of my checkmarks. Stable and fold away armrest, ergonomic and mesh seating that does not increase my body temperature. While it had everything I was looking for I didn’t know how comfortable it would be, and in truth you would never know until you actually purchase it.

It’s cool, the mesh surfaces breathe well and it’s comfortable to sit on for an extended period of time. Overall it’s a great chair for this price point. I’m not sure you can ask for more features with the price that it is.

Excellent purchase.

I’m a software engineer and sit at my computer desk all the time every day as I work. I was experiencing pain in my back and legs. Ergonomic/occupational safety staff did an assessment on my workplace setup and ended up replacing my chair with one that could adjust in more ways to my body’s needs.

That fixed my pain. I later started working from home full-time. Once again, I felt all the pain come back from my home office chair. I found the chair that solved my problems at the office, but it was over $400.

I was going to pay that, because having a comfortable, well fitting chair is that important. However, I saw that this chair adjusted in all the same ways as the one at my workplace and was much more reasonably prices and had good ratings.

So, I gave it a try and have zero regrets. This chair is *very* well made and the instructions and setup are clear and easy. Zero pain too. I highly, highly recommend this chair – even for those who don’t have pain from sitting long periods.

This will chair will help you avoid ever having to go through such a bad experience.

I bought this online, having never seen one, solely based on reviews on all the sites that sell them. I had my finger posed on the order button on another site, for $ 103. 00 MORE than here. So I was happy to get a bargain.

But even if I paid full price, it is worth every cent. Like most I can’t believe I spent this on a chair, but I would buy ten more just like it if I needed them. Rugged, good looks, and it’s not a chair, it’s an experience.

The arm rests do everything but fetch you a snack. I never thought I would sue lumbar and neck pillows. Figured they would be useless and cheap. Quite the contrary, they make this chair what it is, well, they help a lot.

As you put it together you can tell you are working with a quality product. For starters, the base that the wheels are on is STEEL, not plastic. I have had this chair only a few days, but I can tell it’s going to hold up and last a good long time.

Do it, you won’t regret it !.

I am very much enjoying this chair so far. I’m a petite woman, 5’5″ and 135 lbs, so I was searching for a chair that would be comfortable for my size and that didn’t necessarily look like the standard gaming chair — my gaming PC is hideous enough, so I at least wanted a sleek and subtly beautiful chair.

This chair is gorgeous and bright, exactly the opposite of some of the black and red nightmares on the market (sorry to the people who are into those, but we all have our preferences). This chair just looks GOOD.

It also feels good. It’s so comfortable that one of my cats obsessively breaks into my office just to sit in this chair, so I keep a towel over it to prevent claw damage. Tip for assembly: If you’re flying solo, when you go to assemble the back of the chair to the seat, slide your free hand under the seat back, wedging it between the seat back and the chair seat.

This tiny lift will relieve pressure from the weight of the seat back on the screw you’re trying to tighten, making it a lot easier and quicker to tighten them. One caveat: While the arms of this chair are 4D, the inward dimensional movement is only about an inch.

For petite people like me: You will not be able to get the arm rests directly under your shoulders for maximum comfort. This is due to how wide the base of the chair is. The arms of the chair will not get close enough to your body.

Personally, I am Bisexual Person Sitting in Chair meme, so I like the wide seat base because it’s way too much room for my butt but perfect for curling my legs up. But if you are a smol person reading reviews and hoping that this chair will finally give you the armrest position of your dreams, it won’t.

Only a chair with a petite seat base will do that, but then problems comes in when your hips (seat base measurement) are wider than your ideal shoulders/elbows (armrest position). Your arms will be comfortable, but your hips will be jammed against the bar that connects the arm rest to the seat.

Go ahead and pick a chair that meets all your other parameters, then look into articulating arm rests that attach to your desk. They come with the benefit of moving with your arm as you go from mouse to keyboard, and they don’t interfere with how close you move your chair to your desk or what height you set your chair to.

You can thank me later. :).

I got my boyfriend a chair for Christmas last year and decided it was time for me to upgrade to a gaming chair as well (plus, I was jealous because his was so comfy). My chair came super fast, much faster than his did around Christmas time (which makes sense).

I love the colours and it feels super high quality. My boyfriend said it was pretty easy to put together, took him less than an hour. It is very heavy though, so use your muscles! Overall I highly recommend this to someone looking for a nice looking, comfy chair.

It is a bit pricey but remember you are paying for the quality of the product, it will definitely last a long time.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas. I didn’t know I was going to have to totally assemble the chair. Directions were not very clear. It didn’t specify which screws went where so we winged it.

Also the back support was confusing as to which way it went together. It took four of us working to get it straight. Other than that, the chair is great. Just need someone that knows how to write directions and labeling of the screws.

I write SOP’s but this was ridiculous.

I have had this chair for over 5 years. Have a thick plastic liner to protect from wear on the wood flooring. About a month ago, I noticed that the height adjustment would only hold for one session. To replace the chair was $200.

I looked on Youtube and found out how to replace the gas cylinder. Cost me about $13 and a half hour dismantling and replacing the old cylinder with the new one. I am a handy man, so I was able to get the right size cylinder after an online search, remove the old tightly fitting cylinder and reassemble.

Helpful to use a 14″ pipe wrench with a metal tube over the handle to get the needed leverage to loosen the cylinder from the base and a mallet/hammer with a block of wood to persuade the fittings to loosen.

I did have to remove the seat to get at everything. A second set of hands would have been helpful!.

Replacement chair FOR A VERY DANGEROUS OFFICE CHAIR BY MODWAY. BACK OF THE WEBBING COMPLETELY UNRAVELED causing serious bodily injury AND POSSIBLE DEATH. THE REPLACEMENT CHAIR BY BOSS IS OUTSTANDING.

ITS APPEARANCE AND QUALITY IS UNPARALLELED i AM BEYOND HAPPINESS. THANK YOU BOSS! THANK YOU TARGET BUY THIS CHAIR.

I type a lot & traditional chairs with arms don’t work for me. So I wanted a chair that would be as cushiony/comfy as a “boss chair,” but without arms. So far, this chair is great. The padding is firm and thick enough to last several years.

The back is not so far from the edge of the seat that I need a pillow (I’m under 5 and a half feet tall). The color is pure white. It feels as supportive as my chair at work. Although it doesn’t recline, I find I don’t really use that feature as much & having the thick padding on the seat is much more important so my legs don’t fall asleep.

It doesn’t move as far up/down as I would have expected – but it is fine for me. I think if you were shorter than 5 feet or taller than 6 feet, it may be something you want to check out before purchasing.

I was able to assemble the chair by myself in about 10 minutes. It was a bit physically challenging to get the back onto the base – and would have been easier with 2 people (but I was impatient & didn’t want to wait ;).

The Hyken chair requires significant “customization” after assembly to make it even reasonably comfortable. Mesh seat: I weigh 150 pounds, but the mesh sinks when I sit on it. It’s like sitting in a deep hole and is bad for the hips and spine.

I had to insert a large foam cushion AND a gel cushion between the mesh and underlying plastic frame to make it passably ergonomic. Lumbar support: Digs into my back. Had to insert an extra foam cushion between the lumbar support and the mesh on the back of the chair.

Also had to duct tape the support to keep it from sliding up and down during use. It doesn’t stay in place. Headrest: Had to tilt my head too far back to use it. To make it usable, I had to attached a car seat neck pillow to the front.

Also, the mounting holes and bolt channels on the back are misaligned. I have to periodically retighten the bolts to keep the headrest from falling off the chair. Purchasing this chair was a “test run” to see if it would be worth buying 30 more for my workplace.

It looks nice. But it’s poorly designed and sloppily constructed, even for the price. I definitely won’t buy another, and I doubt this one will last more than a few years.

Product was well packaged in a sturdy card board box by the manufacturer (Union & Scale), care was taken to protect all of the sharp corners of various parts by wrapping them with a thick cardboard. Most of the parts are made out of thick molded plastic, which is very sturdy.

The only parts I believe are hard metal (Steel) is the controller and the arms assembly and the control cylinder that go underneath the seat. The Instructions are very clear and concise and all of the hardware (screws) are color coded and packaged well in separate pouch, which makes it a breeze to assemble (Took me 45 minutes to assemble).

The only tool I needed was the Allen Key provided with the hardware to assemble the entire chair. The chair has good amount of movement up and down and back and forth. The head rest can be tilted to a good extent to provide that extra support to the back of your Neck.

The Lower Lumbar support is at the right height and can be moved up and down by a few Inches, which helps position it to user’s needs. The arm rest moves up and down by quite a bit. The arm rests are just soft enough that you will be able to comfortably rest your arm for the entire day and are designed to be wide enough and located at the right height in its lowest setting that it supports your arm well when using a keyboard or Laptop on a desk.

I am 6 foot tall and athletic, all the adjustments fits me in the right places at it lowest setting, just to put things in perspective. The mesh on the seat, the back and the head rest seems to be sturdy and well woven with a good material of the right gage.

A bit of cushioning is provided underneath the mesh for the seat at the front where the underside of your knees rest and the lumbar support, no such cushioning is seen on the back or on the head rest, which is understandable.

There is good depth to the seat, so that you feel well seated at all times. The seat to the control cylinder and the control cylinder to the base of the legs is a soft assembly (i. e no bolts hold this together), The top and bottom of control cylinder sits in a hole on either side, one in the control arm assembly under the seat and the other in the center of the leg.

So just right after assembly, if you hold the seat and lift the chair, the seat might separate out from the cylinder (you can put it back in seconds, not a big deal), but after some use, I have tested this and they seem to stay together when you lift the seat to move the chair.

Highly recommend this chair.

The Anika Task Chair is beautiful and comfortable. The chair adds a touch of elegance to my workspace and makes me way more productive. The chair is also very easy to assemble – it took me about 15 minutes, if that to put the chair together.

The packaging was superb, too, with many precautions taken to ensure that the chair wouldn’t be damaged during shipping. Also, I accidentally dropped a small spot of chocolate on the chair. With a wet paper towel and a little dish liquid, the stain was removed very easily.

I completely recommend the Anika Task Chair.
