Serta - Big & Tall with Smart Layers Technology and AIR Lumbar Bonded Leather Executive Chair - Black

What can I say? It's the chair of all chairs. Bought it to upgrade my working from home lifestyle. I may never retire now. All I want to do is sit in this comfy chair and type away. Spreadsheet productivity has easily increased 10x. Wheels are nice and smooth so I can just wheel around the house for different tasks.. Only downside is that it doesn't handle stairs very well.

I bought this chair for my adult son as a birthday present because he asked for a comfier computer chair. I don't think you could get confier than a product from a matress company. His old chair was a $45 chair with no arms, so this was a huge upgrade. It took 59 minutes for me to assemble it myself, but having a helper for the step where you put the top on the base would be helpful. I got around it by laying the top down on the couch and fitting the base on sideways and then setting the assembled chair on the floor. My son loved the chair. It should be very comfortable for him sitting for hours either working on his laptop or gaming. My only worry is that the bonded leather will break down. I wish they made these in fabric instead of "leather." Also, I got a good deal on this chair as a Black Friday deal. At regular price, it would have been out of my budget. But it was a better value and more comfortable than any of the gaming chairs I seriously looked at.

Compared to my old $200 gaming chair this is definitely better comfort. Assembly wasnt too difficult except for some parts where it seems the screw holes were not perfeclty aligned so had to use some strength to tighten those screws. Arm rest screw holes also have this weird gimmick not sure if its intended but it doesn’t tighten completely and it kind of feels like a rubber band the second you stop tightening it like shoots back. So arm rest may be a tad loose. The main con to me is height. The chair does feel a bit short on the back rest. The head rest is practically a shoulder-neck rest. The only way my head touches the head rest is if I am basically looking all the way up with my head back. As a gamer I never realized how important adjustable arm rest were until getting this chair. Its not terrible but takes some getting used to. Also not able to adjust the back rest to recline further or be more forward also takes some getting used to. Sometimes on my old chair I would recline the chair more forward to support that (gamer posture) but all in all this chair was worth it on sale but I wouldnt buy this chair at normal price as there are better out there for the same amount.
