Nouhaus Ergonomic Drafting Office Chair Mesh Computer Chair with Adjustable Footrest, Headrest, Armrest and Integrated Coat Hanger, Swivel Desk Chair Tilt Function(ErgoDraft,Grey)

I've struggled to find a good chair for me, I'm 6'-1" and 230 lbs. I am pretty lean from working out a lot and this chair fits me perfectly. Previous chair gave me headaches, and the one before that had no back support. I need a good chair since I work at home for many hours each day.I'm giving this chair 5 stars because I think the current rating is a bit too low for such a great chair. Yes, it has annoying locks on the wheels. If they get bad, I'll cut them off with a dremel and glue the locks in the unlocked position. The arm rests are a bit wobbly which is standard for the arm rest design and have not found any chairs that don't move a little.I needed something that keeps me cool in the summer time, and the mesh back and seat do just that. I also like the back support, something that's hard to find on a chair like this. It is tall, so I can also keep my standing desk in about the same spot and work standing up. The chair seems to be of good quality for this price point especially.There are few drafting chairs with a mesh seat and back, and of those that I've tried, this one is my favorite. I'm keeping this one.

I have herniated disc and I was looking for an upgrade on a cheap ikea bar height chair. Assembled the chair, super easy, but then sat it it. The first day I thought I maybe moved wrong or something, that was flaring up the pain. But then the pain went away after I was out of the chair. Second time I used it for work the pain was back but even worse! I went to a chiropractor and they asked what happened to put me in so much pain. The only thing that changed was this chair. He said the mesh seat doesn’t keep you level and keeps you at an slight angle, and the back of the chair does not go up and down and was hitting me wrong (huge miss one the design) Okay so I need a different chair. No big deal. Go to return $53 to return!!!! Very upsetting. Do not buy if you have any back issues.

It's a decent chair, especially for the price. Here are my pros and cons.Pros:It's tall enough to use with a standing desk. I can either just sit on it, or slightly rest on it to take a little strain off my legs throughout the day.I like that it locks in the furthest back position.I like that the seat rises as the back moves, but the seat rise is only subtle so that you aren't at 90° with the seat back all the way back.I like that it uses mesh material for the utmost in air flow, no sweaty bottom or back from sitting all day.The armrests are simple, only move up and down, but I like that they move low enough down to be out of my way when I don't want them and they don't hit my keyboard tray in this position. I debated putting them on at all, but figured I'd want them to hold the chair steady when sitting down or getting up.The drafting chair round footrest is great for when I want to fully sit, but don't feel the need to lower my desk or chair.The headrest looks like it sits too far in, but I generally find it to be in a good position. It can move up and down and tilt. I leave it just below my head at the top of my neck and find it fairly supportive.I really appreciate the degree of lean of the chair back. I have sciatica and other nerve issues with my lower back and being able to recline to 130° is particularly important to relieving some of the stress on my lower back.It's such a simple thing, but I like the little coat rack on the back. It's so annoying to drape a jacket with a zipper or buttons around the chair shoulders and have them poking into your back or arms.Cons:I'm 5'11" and at the lowest setting, the chair is still high enough that I can't put my feet flat on the ground. It doesn't bother me much, but to move around, I have to push with my forefoot.Each caster has a lock and they are super easy to flip down. I understand why they're there, this is a tall drafting chair after all, but they're a tad annoying.I'm not a large person, but even I can feel the plastic at the sides of the seat a little bit. More so if I man-spread. This aspect would make this chair uncomfortable on the sides of the thighs for anyone larger than 34 or maybe a 36" waist.The chair back is not adjustable up/down or in/out. Nor is the seat.There is a decent bend in the lumbar region, but it isn't adjustable and you can't add any additional support. I think the mesh does fine, but others might find it lacking.When wearing shorts, the mesh at the edge of the seat tends to rub on my skin, not particularly comfortable.I'm not sure about the longevity of the material. I fear sitting down with a pencil or other similar object in a pocket would easily damage it and it would shred to pieces shortly thereafter. This is only a concern though and I'll update this review with any changes or after a year of use to comment on longevity.Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this chair. It does lack in configuration options and I do have concerns about the longevity of the material, but the rest of the build seems pretty sturdy. Assembly was easy, though the directions weren't as clear with regard to identifying which screws were which and there were extras that weren't called out in the instruction manual making you wonder if you missed a step. The main thing is that I needed a chair that had a decent lean angle and headrest, wasn't leather or non-breathable fabric, and I really wanted something that I could use while standing for additional support. This was the only chair I could find that checked off all those boxes.

I work at a standing desk and was using an old bar stool for a chair which was killing my back. This chair is super comfortable and I love the headrest and coatrack. I hate to admit it but the first time using it I actually dozed off while leaning back - that was a first!A couple downsides that I had to get used to:First, I thought I’d like the wheel locks but I find them annoying because I end up locking one wheel accidentally when I hop off the chair w/o realizing then I have to find the locked one each time so the chair rolls freely - I’ll probably swap out the wheels if I keep having the problem.Second, this chair looks huge when you walk into the room which I’m still getting used to.The comfort outweighs both of these issues in my mind making this chair a keeper - I wish I would have ordered one a while ago.
