A Review For Shorties
I recently began working from home 4 days a week, and needed a good chair at a reasonable price. Being only 5' tall, I'm always nervous about the fit of chairs. For one, the headrest. Almost all headrests are too high for me, and just basically push my head forward. I was pleasantly surprised to find that when lowered all the way, this one actually fits me perfectly! It also adjust to much higher for those of you who aren't as vertically challenged. I love that not only does it adjust up and down, but also the angle of it adjusts, so it truly fits just right. That being said, if you're mostly using this to work, like I am, the headrest may not even matter that much, as I'm usually sitting up straight. Still it is nice when I want to lean back. Next is the lumbar support- lack of support can be a nightmare for lower back issues. It's great, and really extends quite a ways in, also good when you're short and can't always sit as deeply into a seat. On that note, that's one thing I wish was adjustable- the depth of the seat. You can't change that or move it in and out, but to be honest for that kind of customization, you're usually looking at a far more expensive chair, so again, the lumbar support helps a little with that. The other thing I wish could adjust just a TINY bit more is the height of the seat. At the lowest, while sitting all the way back, the balls of my feet rest comfortably on the floor, but not my full foot flat. To be fair, I'm working at home, so usually barefoot. If I had even a slight heel on, or even a thick athletic shoe, it would probably be fine. Just wish I could lower the seat by maybe one more inch. The wheels don't roll very easily on carpet unless they are at the right angle, kinda like a shopping cart has to have its wheels just right, but if I get a protective mat, which I probably should anyway, it would move much more easily. Glides across hard floors with no issue at all, and I haven't found it to be a big deal on carpet, honestly. It was easy to put together, and feels very sturdy. All in all, this is a great chair for ALL heights, even us shorties, and I'm very pleased for the price with what I got.
