Flash Furniture Big & Tall Swivel Office and Gaming Chair with Lumbar and Back Support, Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair with Flip-Up Armrests and Adjustable Height, Black

I am 6'7" and 385 lbs. I have gone through "big mans office chairs" at the rate of about 1 every 18 months for the last 16 years. The tilt/swivel mechanism on the past chairs never seemed to hold up to any where near what it was rated for... then I found this chair. It is solid and well built, comfortable and has held up to me sitting in it 12-14 hours a day for the past 5 months since I had 3 knee surgeries and switched to working from home while I recover. I love the fact that the arms on the chair fold up, which has made easy for me to use the chiar not only at my desk, but also at the dining room table. Probably the single best investment I have made in office furniture in the last decade.

Been using this chair for a year, no noticeable wear and tear other than cushioning flattening in the rear a fair bit which is expected. I'm pushing 600lbs and take up a full two seats on an airplane, I am big. This chair fits me comfortably, the arm rests actually fold up and out of the way and my legs don't lose circulation after hours of sitting. This chair is actually BIG and WIDE. It's not like the other big and tall chairs on here that seem to only cater to the tall aspect. An average sized adult could sit in the chair with crossed legs and still have room. this chair can handle size and weight, I've been able to lean back reliably. My only complaint is the base is so heavy duty, it really hurts to hit your heel on it lol.The recommended rollerblade/caster wheels are a game changer if you're a heavy person, smooth gliding all over.Update: March 2025 -im still super big, chair still holding up under my size 12 hours a day. It's been through two home moves. Still super sturdy. The armrest cushions have flattened a fair amount but the seat cushion hasn't gotten any worse than the initial break in. This chair is a tank.

I am giving this 5 start on a provisional basis as I have only had the chair for a day. So cannot say how well it will hold up. That being said it is well designed and very comfortable. I am a big guy and always feel nervous when sitting in most chairs. Have had way too many break or tip. This chair is stable and solid. I feel very comfortable with it holding my bulk. Lumbar support is great. It does vary from barely there to what the hell were they thinking. The armrests are at a great height. That is why it is great that they can flip up out of the way.Only a couple of minor issues: packaging was not the greatest. 1) Decorative cover plates had two tabs broken because of how it was packaged. It did not keep them from going on and staying on so I did not consider it a big deal. 2) I was short to bolt covers out of the 4 it was supposed to have. Since I was not going to use them anyway it did not matter to me at all. They were however packaged with the cover plates that were damaged which is why I bring it up at all to emphasize the packaging being the only real negative.Lastly would gladly suggest if you are a big person that you should get this chair.

Update 09.24.2018: I waited for a week or so for the numbness in my right pinkie finger side to subside before installing the right arm again and testing it out. I have a new mouse pad and I have used it for literally hours at a time as I work in a virtual call center environment at home. I reinstalled the right arm and tested it out. In literally the next less than 3 minutes the same spot began to tingle again. Once I put the arm up as to take it out of the way and went back to the way I had it... the numbness went away. I know it's not me...lol. It is definitely the right arm that is not adjustable. However, the chair is still comfy. I work 5 hours a day like a bump on the chair (lol) with only a 15 minute break and at times I don't even conciously know I am sitting down in the chair. So at least that part is still functioning the way it should.For the way my left arm rests mostly my left elbow takes most of the real estate and so far no problems with my left arm going numb.In all retrospect, I am not even close to 500lbs and I am thankful for that. I cannot imagine carrying an extra 200lbs. If that was the case I would be thankful that the chair was built so sturdy. However, I cannot speak for those who are "really" of noble girth. :0)Original PostPROS:- First of all... a really comfortable chair. I am a left leg amputee and have gained considerable amount of weight. When I go to sit down in this chair I feel as safe as a "King" in his castle". This is definitely a sturdy chair>>>> I know this because I accidentally dropped the seat not realizing how heavy it was... all 25-30lbs. of it slipped out of my hands and onto my Right big toe. (Yikes!...but don't worry... I am okay... just some bruising and no broken bones.)- Love LOVE the memory foam for the seat! I bought this chair because I am a work from home customer service agent. I can sit for my entire 5 hour shift without even noticing I am sitting down.- Bought the chair because of the lumbar feature. It is definitely big enough for me, and sturdy. (I would assume for most) I have had to mess with it a little to get it "perfect" for me, but helps you sit straighter-er ...okay...okay for you grammar sticklers...helps you sit more ergonomically.CONS:- PRO/CON: There is a way to uninstall the arm without losing integrity of the back seat. All you have to do is use the same Allen Wrench to unscrew the two hex screws in the middle.- The bad part about that: it looks either 1.) Ugly or 2.) a conversation piece...lol The reason for the comment is I "think" I remember now (after purchase...lol) that someone's arm went numb?... or it was because the arms are not adjustable? (Not going to hunt through the reviews to find it...lol) I am 5'11" and pretty tall in the torso. I am not sure if it would be a "deal breaker" for most, but I had to uninstall the right arm. a. ) Because the arms are not adjustable. b.) The lateral side of my hand and forearm...ok ok... from the tip of my right pinky finger all the way down about half of my right forearm turned numb after prolonged sitting. Now I use the mouse for my right hand so its not as a big deal... however, if I want I'll just have to rest my hand on my lap. Resting my hand on the table without an ergonomic mouse pad with a gel wrist pad, it wouldn't be doable.One thing I recommend is buying these if you have a longer carpet from Amazon: Office Chair Caster Wheels Replacement - Set of 5, No More Desk Roller Mat. Get Ultimate NO-SCRATCH FLOOR PROTECTOR with the Smoothest Riding Heavy Duty, Rubber Rollerblade Wheels for Hardwood Floors, Up to 600 lb. capacity, by OPTTICO 4.8 out of 5 stars - Amazon's Choice THEY ARE AAAAMAZINGLY AWESOME! I don't know if you have every rollerbladed... but this chair glides awesomely with those instead of the casters that came with it. I asked my brother who used to work as a professional carpet cleaner. He says just about no matter what you do to protect your carpet it is hard. Even though this product says you don't need a floor mat I am going to get one anyway.Enjoy your conversation piece (lol)- fryer
