HON Sadie Big and Tall Office Chair, Ergonomic Desk Chair with Mesh Back, Lumbar Support, 350 lb Max, Black

I was looking for a heavy duty office chair that was more sturdy and with a deeper seat than the ones I have had in the past. My old chair from an office supply chain was just so-so and with time as it aged began to cut off circulation in the back of my thighs. You do get what you pay for. I looked at several brands and styles of "big and tall" and decided on this one. This chair was considerably more than I had ever spent on a chair, yet right out of the box I could tell that the pieces were of a superior quality and worth the price.I am 66, 5'2 female, and don't have a lot of strength, yet I was able to put this together by myself relatively quickly. Everything was drilled the way it was supposed to be, came with all the screws and allen wrench necessary for assembly and directions that were pretty easy to follow. I had this together in about 20 minutes once I had everything unpacked. The box it comes in is big and very heavy, but individual pieces are manageable.The wheel base is wide and strong, the support is amazing and the seat is deep enough that I have full support everywhere I need it without any loss of circulation to my legs. At the lowest setting it is just right for my height, at the highest it is high enough for a tall person. Even the arm rests are adjustable height and width wise.Definitely worth every penny and this 5-star rating.

This chair is extremely comfortable! It has a generously sized seat and high back. In fact I use a small back cushion because the seat is a little too deep for me. But I really enjoy the larger width. And I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the seat cushion is very cushy and springy, almost like a mattress.I read some reviews that complained about the packaging. However mine arrived in perfect condition. I have bought several different chairs of this nature from other vendors, and this was one of the easiest to assemble! The instructions were quite clear. All of the screws and small parts were separated in their own bubble and clearly marked.And it came with some extra screws. In fact all of the parts were clearly marked, even the front and back of the seat cushion. The arms are adjustable in height. When attaching the arms there is about a half inch play on each side, so you can make the arms a little wider or narrower, which is a nice bonus. The only thing about the chair is that the back is quite high and wide. This is great for comfort. However I use the chair as a mobility aid to get around my house with hands free, and I find it a little clumsy sometimes. I find myself hitting the back into the wall. But that is a small thing. It really is one of the best chairs I have found of this type that supports a higher weight limit.Also, it may seem a little pricey compared to normal chairs, but as far as big and tall chairs go, it is pretty reasonably priced. I bought a big and tall chair from another vendor 2 years ago which was quite expensive, and did not last. For that kind of money, I expect the chair to last for several years. Hopefully this chair will wear well over time, but it's too soon to know about that.

Full disclaimer, I knew ahead of time that this is a BIG & TALL chair. I wanted that and I've read dozens of reviews on multiple chairs on Amazon before deciding on this chair. I'm not returning it, but it doesn't meet all the standard pros of good BIG chairs. It is definitely better than my last chair. I wanted to let any girls out there know a bit about the chair since a lot of the reviews cover the Big and Tall aspect but not the norms for girls looking for at home office chairs. This won't apply to everyone by a long shot, but hopefully it helps others that just want a big chair.I work from home and need an 8-9hr chair. My desk is 30 inches tall with slightly elevated monitors. I have a foot stool because my feet don't hit the ground if I sit all the way back in any chair. Totally expected that here, so that's not a "dislike." I'm 5'3" and 200lbs. I typically sit with my legs up in my chair folded under me and I tilt my chairs back most of the time. (Think recliner still minus the legs!) Stay with me here... that's my comfy place to zone in for work. So, I needed a chair that tilts and has a wide and deep seat to accomplish this. Now, let's talk about pros and cons based on the non-typical use of the chair, with the hopes that others might find this useful.Pros -1) Great wide and deep seat (the main reason for purchase)2) Seat is sturdy foam and is by far the most comfortable (1st week assessment, will update if it flattens quickly).3) Love the adjustable arms, but they do bump my 30" tall desk if fully up or if I tilt.4) The tilt is great, but it does wobble a little, which I'd find concerning for long term use or heavy use.4) Easy to put together by myself.5) Rollers are very smooth on my floor mat under/around my desk.Cons1) Cost - bit high, but you typically get what you pay for and it is consistent with this chair.2) The back is not great, by a long shot. Since I prefer to recline, the mesh doesn't instill confidence in wear over time. Plus, the lumbar support piece of plastic digs into my mid-lower back pretty badly. I cannot image more weight on it being comfortable, but maybe a taller person wouldn't have as many problems. For me, I added a lumbar support pad to compensate, but that makes you lose seat room since it pushes you forward. It's not a deal breaker, but it isn't great. When I don't tilt, the back isn't an issue at all.3) The height, for short people - so not the chair's fault. Yes, I KNOW it is for Big and Tall, but short chunky people like a big chair to fold up into, too! That being said, my desk is "desk height" and so no matter what you look like, the chair will bang into the desk with the arms if you have them on the top two settings (or if you tilt back at all). Also, the chair does not go very low to the ground. It does go very high, which would be great for tall folks, but for me it is even taller than most desk chairs at the lowest height (I anticipated this, so I really can't complain on that point though).Overall, It's at a moderate price with both good and bad features for my needs. Much better than the cheaper versions I've had because of the seat and arms. Not as great because of the back of the chair and the range of adjustments. Depending on how it holds up would ultimately determine if I purchased another at the end of this one's lifespan. Hope this review helps anyone else who isn't necessarily Big and Tall but still want a larger chair.
