First off, Im 63 and about 210 pounds. That being said, it is a little on the small side but I can sit in it comfortably enough. It seems to be fairly well padded but it could actually use a boost in that department. Not bad though.so far. I assembled it easily by myself in about 30 minutes.
A lot of reviewers complained that it wouldnt tilt back very far and that was a concern of mine too right off the batt. However, if you loosen the tension knob all the way AND pull the height adjustment bar OUT (to your right), the chair will tilt back MUCH further. I was rather unhappy with it until I figured this out. I should of known this since my old chair operated the same way.
Ill also add that this chair will raise up really high if thats what you like. As I mentioned before, Im 63 and I have set about halfway up, mainly because of the height of my desk. Getting it put together and then sitting in it to get my first impressions, I have to say that I thought it might end up in the spare bedroom or basement. But after adjusting it to the height that I prefer and figuring out the tilt mechanism, Im pretty happy with it.
Not bad for 80
