" ...  I gave this a 3 out 5 stars for comfort and support. ... I tried every combination of positions to get the chair to feel comfortable. ... It is comfortable when doing these tasks but it needs to have adjustable to arms to give it any more stars. ... I just want to reiterate that this chair is comfortable, though the headrest is more of a gimmick then it useful due to the shape of the chair.  ...  "

" ...  I am about 5'9" and previously have had back issues and I think the chair offers a nice amount of lumbar support. ... It's comfortable enough that I don't mind sitting in it for hours on end, but not so comfortable that I risk falling asleep.  ...  "

" ...  Love this chair it’s great support for my back and the headrest is a big plus!  ...  "
comment
" ...  It looks like a nice chair, I fear I could break the arm rest quite easily. ... Perhaps place a cushion on it to help alleviate the hard plastic touch from a resting arm. ... The seat cushion is comfortable, so good on that!  ...  "

comment
