When we purchased these chairs, we had tested a sample chair at a local store and it seemed nice. Once we got the same model delivered we noticed 2 issues. first is that the front of the chair sits lower than the back, resulting in the person sitting at a downward angle of 5010 degrees, which makes the chair uncomfortable as the feet remain lower than the buttocks. Did not have a way to change the height of the front of the chair to compensate.
2nd issue was that theof the back of the chair is such that when leaning back on the headrest, the top of the chair pushes forward on the back of the head, forcing it forward and downward. If the persons back is firmly against the back of the chair, this results in an unnatural head and neck position that causes strain and pain. My wife noted that she also was starting to have crackling of the neck vertebrae from the strain. The chair is advertised as suitable for persons with height of 5 ft 1 In to 5 ft 9 inches. My wife is about 5 ft 5 so we did not expect an issue. Result is a very uncomfortable chair. This model was also available at Furniture stores, so test it first before you buy.
