I wanted to wait some time before writing a review and it about 90 days since purchase. My first impression in my first days was not positive and considered sending it back. I felt as if I was sitting in an awkward position, but it was only due to my old chair and how poor my posture was while sitting in it. I no find my posture in this chair is correct and have no back pain with extended time in the chair as I did before with my old. I telecommute for work and spend 14+ hours in the chair a day between work and personal time on average.
My only complaint is the armrests which have firm foam molded around steel that is breaking away on the inside edges and falling off over time. I lean on them quite a bit and this may be the factor causing the foam to break away, so I may need to request replacements under warranty. I would pay extra for a cloth wrapped armrest that matched the seat fabric to prevent the foam from breaking away.
My cat does have a complaint; since the seat is three inches less deep than my old chair it is difficult for her to find a comfortable position in this one. She would lay with her bottom on the seat of my old chair between my legs with her front across one leg. She is also only 8lbs so the compromise is a spot for a small bed on the desk under the dual monitor stand.

This it the E-Mail that I sent to Office Star relating to this product.

I was in need of a new chair for my office, and so ended up with one of your company's products, #75373. This chair is listed as suitable for a large person. It is not. I will recommend to all others in my company that we do not purchase any more of these chairs. I will also recomment that we avoid your companies products.

There are several areas in which this chair fails.
1. The seat angle is slanted forward. This is highly uncomfortable. Our purchasing people bought two of these chairs, and both myself and the other gentleman have had to install shims to change the seat angle.
2. The back of the seat is too close to the seat for the size person that you are attempting to seat. It's proximity limits the effective depth of the seat to about twelve inches, between the roll off area on the front of the seat, and my internal padding. This renders the feeling that I am sitting on a narrow board, and with the seat angle, sliding onto the floor.
3. The bottom of the back is too low. The area that would be intended to fit the small of the back is in the middle of my buttocks. This again is pushing me out of the chair.
4. The arms need to rise to a higher point. With them fully extended, my elbows are about one half and inch above the arms.

It is clear that when your company had this chair designed, you did not try it with a focus group of true big and tall men. You may have tried it with big men and women and you may have tried it with tall men, but you failed a key group of your market, very badly.

I will be posting negative comments on every site that sells this chair. I would return the chair, but going through a corporate purchasing department makes this very difficult.

In case you have missed my point, I am highly dissatisfied with your product, it shows a lack of good engineering for it's market.

In other words, this is not a chair for the big and tall. It may fit the big, but not someone like myself.

      Comments about Office Star™ SPACE® Big and Tall Air-Grid™ Back Chair with Mesh Seat:

      buying a new chair for my desk has been a sort of every other year kind of thing. i weigh 230 lbs., and before too long, every chair i've owned has either lost its "cush" or broken in some way (must admit i do like to lean back while on the phone), or both. this isn't the MOST comfortable chair i've had day one right out of the box (only reason for my 4 stars instead of 5), but it is comfortable. it also doesn't lean back as far as most others, but i'm guessing that fact, combined with the overall tank-like construction will be a blessing in the long run. if memory serves, this thing is rated for something like 400 lbs., and everything about it feels that way. i also like that the armrests are made from a solid & very bulletproof feeling plastic material that has a little give to it (no cheap padding or upholstery to wear out from constant contact w/your arms & skin). i've only had this chair a couple of months, but i'm guessing it'll prove to be as tough as nails over time. the cloth seat & mesh back are also pleasant changes of pace from all the leather-clad lookalikes that i've owned up to this point. if i ever manage to break this, i'll probably buy another one.

          I got this chair to replace my old faithfull Aeron chair that gave up the ghost after 14 years. It is not as adjustable as the Aeron, but it does a great job at less then half the price of the Aeron for someone who weighs over 300#.
          It would be nice if this chair had a mesh seat. That would be a lot cooler.

              I just got this chair. The chair will tilt on the base (like a rocking chair) but it only locks in the front upright position. There is no adjustment to create a permanent tilt that locks into place.

              Answered on 1/12/2011 by Stuart from Gilbert, AZ
            • A:

              The whole chair tilts (with adjustable tension) and it's a good thing, to be able to keep moving, keep the core muscles in action. So when you tilt back, the back of the seat is lower than the front. This *is* on the tag description as "mid pivot knee tilt control with adjustable tilt tension". In the fully-upright position I would say it feels like it is little more flat or forward tilting than other chairs (the opposite of what you want).
