I bought this chair in 2020, as a replacement for one I had purchased a t a retail outlet some 5+ years before, whos leather was finally starting to peal.
I am 6 tall and 230lbs. The chair fit my proportions ok, which is why I bought it, it was tall enough that the headrest actually hits my head. But thats about where my positive reviews end. I found the seat to be a bit narrow, the cushioning is stiff but still there, and I removed the lumbar support immediately as it was like sitting with a soccer ball in my back.
Im a rather frugal person, probably to a fault, so I used this chair Irregardless of the issues above, until the final deathblow for this chair, the actual back has failed structurally. The reclining back has a gear set on the right-hand side that holds the back in place, and the left is on a hinge free to pivot. The 1 tubing that makes up the structure of the back support has pinched and actually bent over just above the support bracing on the right, where it mounts to the gear set (about 9 above the pivot point). So now the entire back is twisted, and leans to the left.
So take this for what you will. Im a larger person but not disproportionate. This chair did last 2 years, and the leather is still in good condition, the chair actually looks great still. But being who I am, I would have preferred cosmetic failures to structural failures. Structural failures make me think the whole product is flawed at its core.
Perhaps this failure would not occur with smaller or younger people, and this chair would work well for them as the exterior is still in really good shape... but I cannot recommend it to larger adults as their weight may collapse the chair as mine has.
I would not buy this for an adult
