SertaLautner Executive Home Office Desk Chair, Ergonomic High-Back with Adjustable Lumbar and Body Pillows, SmartLayers and ComfortCoils Technology, Mesh and Bonded Leather, Black & White

I've only had this Big & Tall chair for sightly over a week, so this is just a first impressions review as I don't feel it's fully broken in yet. I plan on updating it as time goes on.It's the most comfortable office chair I've ever used. Although I admit that I've mostly sat in cheap and ergonomically improper office chairs in the past. I'm 6' tall and 240 lbs. and have long, skinny legs; most of my weight is in my upper body and stomach area. The only things that can be adjusted on the chair are the height and tilt. On the right side is a lever to raise or lower the height of the chair. On the left side is the other lever. It can either lock it in an upright position or unlock it for the tilt. There seems to be only a slight difference between the tightness of the adjustment knob to me. You have to push the chair with your legs to get it to tilt back and you have to hold it with some force on your toes to maintain the tilt. Otherwise it goes right back into the upright position. It gets rather tiring to keep pushing it back the entire time. I wish there was a locking mechanism to keep it in the tilt position that you want and hold it there. It's easier to maintain the tilt with the chair at the lowest height and more difficult the higher up you go.I love the coils. It feels like sitting on a firm bed. Also, for me, the seat feels firmer at the back four inches or so and less firm in the rest if the seat, but I only feel that uneven firmness when I have my butt pushed all the way back in the seat. It's not too uncomfortable, but it's definitely noticeable to me. The firmness feels more even when my butt is just a few inches forward. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be like that, but I hope that firm area will soften from sitting in it over time but if not, it's not the end of the world. The back lumbar support feels just right for me thankfully, because there's no way to adjust it. The back of the seat feels very comfortable and supports my back very well.I love the waterfall design of the seat. It really eliminates having the front edge of the seat digging into the back of my thighs like most other flat or bucket style chairs I've used (no more Sciatica pain!) The arms are also the perfect keyboard height for me and they're also not adjustable. The same goes for the width of the arms. Overall, the chair is just the right size for me. So now I realize that a Big & Tall chair is the way to go for me, I wish I knew about them sooner as I've never seen them being advertised before. I just happened to notice while searching for chairs with coils.I'm a bit underwhelmed by the bonded leather TBH, as it doesn't feel as nice as real leather or even vinyl, but it's not that bad and I'm getting used to it. I would have preferred a cloth option myself. I hope it holds up for the long haul because some reviews state that it wears quickly.The assembly was relatively easy by myself, but I can see that some people might need help as it's pretty heavy and a bit challenging to balance the parts as they get assembled. I used a socket wrench where I could to tighten it, which I found better than the included allen wrench.I've sat in it a lot during the past week and it feels great even after 8 hours or more. I like this chair so much I've ordered a second one to have at work.

Comfortable and great support. Only took 10 minutes to assemble.

Bonne chaise avec une bonne assise. Solide. Comfortable. Facile à monter. Toutefois il reste à voir combien de temps va durer le cuir synthétique, c'est le point faible. Il n'existe pas de chaise sur le marché avec du vrai cuir qui va durer des années.

I had given my dad my high back office chair, so I was looking for something comparable. Although this isn't quite as tall, it's a very nice chair, at a great price. And also, thanks to all the reviewers out there which is what led me to this chair. The chair itself came very well packaged. A box within a box. Takes about as long to unpack as it does putting together. With 12 allen head screws. Four on the bottom, and eight on the sides. So in about 30 minutes tops, the chair is ready for use. Just remember not to tighten everything down until the chair is completely assembled. Size wise the chair accommodates me just fine. I'm 6', 195lbs, and the chair handles me nicely. There are two control mechanisms for the chair. One is the chair lift handle. Which adjust the height of the chair. The other, is a turn knob underneath the chair that adjusts the backward tension of the chair. Or simply put, how stiff the chair is in the reclining position. This chair does not recline but about 1/4 of the way back. Just so you know. The back of the seat is about 24inches high, and the seat base is about 17 inches. The color is a deep rich brown. Very nice, rather expensive looking chair for the price. And although not overly padded, it is quite comfortable to sit in. For me this was a good value. And a product well worth recommending if you are looking for a nice classy office chair. It also feels very durable. Of course I've only had it a week or so. But if anything changes, I will come back and repost any changes.

If a chair lasts me 5 years, it's a good chair. I can spend upwards of 14 hours a day, seven days a week in my desk chair. I do IT support and even when I'm not working I'm sitting in my chair at my desk waiting for a call. I own the company and I own the office and my office is pretty nice so I spend a lot of time in it working or not. It's on my property in a detached building and I serve all the network, entertainment, etc. stuff for the main house from there so while I may not be working I'm often at my desk watching a movie or TV show on a 60 inch plasma monitor. I also have two crushed disks and two herniated disks in my back from an offshore accident many years ago. It is vital that I have a very good chair at my desk. I'm in this chair a LOT. I'm 6 feet tall and weigh 230 lbs so that is a LOT of wear and tear on a chair over time. The last chair I had was an Office Star Space Chair and it was a good chair, for about 2.5 years. Then it started falling apart and I started filing warranty claims to get the parts replaced that failed (it was warrantied for 5 years). The vinyl arm pads deteriorated twice and the seat/pedestal plate that holds the seat together snapped in half. It made it the whole 5 years with warranty replacements, but the Office Star manufacturer wised up and cancelled the warranty (just flat changed it and refused to honor the original warranty) on all padded and vinyl components so when the arm pads fell apart again it was time to go find a new chair that is NOT an Office Star product ...I did a lot of shopping. I don't like buying chairs and I don't want to get a chair that won't fulfill the things I need it to do. It took almost two months from the time I decided I needed a new chair to the time I ordered this Serta. I went to office furniture stores, I pored over online office furniture sites, I sat in chairs and I did just about all the due diligence a person could do in choosing my next chair. The reason I told you all the things in the first paragraph is so that you'll understand how important having a good chair is to me. The reason I'm telling you these things is so that you'll understand how careful I was in choosing this chair.I ordered this chair, it came and I put it together today. I knew it would be comfortable because I sat in the same chair at an Office Depot, but they wanted $100 more for that chair than I paid for this one. If I hadn't found this one on Amazon (or other online vendor) cheaper, I was going to go back to the store and pay that $100 more because of all the chairs I had sat in, that Serta was the most comfortable.I love this chair. It is one of the very most comfortable chairs I have ever sat at a desk in, maybe even THE most comfortable. It adjusts for tilt tension, tilt lock, height and lumbar support plus it swivels. The lumbar support is especially nice, it's a little knob on the right side of the seat that you can turn to increase or decrease the support mechanism in the backrest.I'm a pretty big guy and this chair is solid as a rock. There is no wobble or shift or anything wrong with this chair. I can only think that the reviewer who reported that the chair was "flimsy" was either too heavy for what this chair is rated, put it together wrong, or got a lemon. Or any or all of those faults combined. There's nothing flimsy about the construction of this chair when it's assembled correctly.Regarding correct assembly, follow the instructions included. The instructions are easy to understand and they're easily adequate to correctly assemble the chair. I had to use a magnifying glass but my eyes aren't what they used to be, most people can probably read the instructions just fine. They're clear and in proper English so the Chinese or whoever is responsible for the instruction booklet got it right. Which is unusual for things being made in China these days.Tighten up the screws as much as you can without stripping the threads or torquing a head off. It is vital with any chair that it be assembled as tightly as possible to prevent undesirable play in the parts. Things should not wiggle when you put a chair like this together, they should never wiggle after you assemble and use the chair. If you get wiggle or wobble then tighten it up again or it will break. I used a wrench, a ratchet with the proper sized hex driver -- not the little wrench that comes with the chair. There is locktite on the screws that will activate when the screws are good and tight, the more tension on the threads the more solid that locktite will be. I don't know if they used real "Locktite" brand thread locker but the color of this locker is red. If it's real Locktite, red is a permanent thread locker that requires heating with a torch to get it to release. Basically you have to melt it to free it. If that's what this thread locker is, then make sure you get everything tight the first time or you're going to have problems sooner or later.One of the main reasons I bought this chair, besides the comfort factor, is the 10 year warranty. Comfort is nothing if the chair doesn't last, durability is nothing if the chair isn't comfortable. It does no good to have a sturdy chair that's not comfortable or a comfortable chair that's broken. Those two things, comfort and durability, are the mark of a really good chair. Those two features are what will make this chair worth it's cost or not. I don't write a review on something like this and then forget it. If there's anything to add I'll come back and edit this review so if it doesn't last, you'll know it from reading my edits. If you don't see any edits to this review then you can assume all is well with the chair and it has held up well from the date I posted this review to the date you read it.
