I did A LOT of Research
I did a lot of research for a chair that would help correct my posture, but also be durable, comfortable and a decent value. I'm pretty sure I chose correctly. Pros: - Really intricate stitching really sets it apart -- there's a lot of chairs like this, but none look quite this good. - Faux-leather has a neat "weave" pattern. - Padded armrests are firm but comfortable and hinge when you recline. - The recline is really comfortable. - Surprisingly sturdy footrest. - Have put the seat all the way back and I haven't fallen on my ass; the center of gravity and base seems sturdy and well-balanced. - Seat cushion seems firm and supportive. - Fully-upright posture is made comfortable by the neck pillow thing. - The base and wheels look really well constructed. We'll see how well they hold up, but I actually have high hopes. (I'm very wary of replacing the wheels with those rollerblade casters because I think it would throw off the center of gravity and toss me onto my head.) Cons (sort of): - Pleather (faux-leather, whatever) is a little squeaky. - Seat back hinge has some give in the locking position so that when you push yourself up from sitting, the seat back sort of rocks forward. Not a huge deal, but the first time I wondered if I had tightened all the bolts properly. - Massaging feature on the lumbar support leaves a lot to be desired, but it's not a bad bonus. - I could use some ventilation in the lumbar region. - Slightly (like, very slightly) shorter than other chairs I'm used to. Fine for me, but might be a consideration for very short individuals. - Wish I could tighten the neck pillow strap to lock it in place. (The elastic strap does a commendable job to keep it in place, but I'd like to lock it the hell down.) - I could use some more adjustable positions to customize it precisely to my frame -- armrest height, shoulder-wing flare, hip flare, lumber support arch, footrest reach -- but honestly, for the price I think that may be asking too much. I'm very impressed, and I think it hits the price-point perfectly. I'll be very interested to see how it holds up, but I think even if it starts to wear out in a few years, I'd keep the frame and just replace the parts or reupholster it in something with more durability and ventilation -- something woven, perhaps? It makes me wonder what a $400 or $500 Titan chair does better. (I guess I'll never know, because this chair really ticks all the boxes.) If anything goes horribly wrong, I'll be sure to edit this review, but for now I'm def satisfied.
