Serta Fairbanks Big & Tall Executive Office Chair, Ergonomic Comfy High-Back ComputerChairs with Lumbar Support, Semi-Plush Seat Cushion, Padded Armrests, Nylon Swivel Base, Bonded Leather, Black

Prelude: I'm a college student who got their first desk chair buying a room full of furniture from the last tenant of my house for a couple hundred bucks. I loved my chair cause I could sit criss-cross applesauce and lean back so far that I could sleep periodically while pulling all nighters. It had no butt support (I had a pillow and blanket layered under me) and the entire thing was basically held together with packing tape, but we spent many a night together and I appreciated it beyond rational thought. The final straw tho was when I was napping and one of the legs snapped, almost landing my head on the corner of my bookshelf. Even then, I loved this chair so much that I taped a tide pod box to the broken leg and kept it for another 8 months, playing russian roulette every time I leaned back, rolling the dice if I would fall over or not. After finally acquiring a student job I decided it was time for my Tide Pod Box Chair to go to the big office max in the sky. I tell you the legacy of TPBC to emphasize how reluctant I was to get a new chair, and how picky I was at selecting it. I searched for days before finally ordering this one out of defeat. Review: It seems that every frickin chair in the world has contradicting reviews online. One review says it's comfy, tall, and has great support, another says that this chair kicked their dog and embezzled money from their savings account. I'm here to assure you that this chair is a good chair. It came in 2 days with prime shipping, and took me under a half hour to assemble. My poor butt had no idea what support felt like until I sat in this desk chair. I am a lanky 6'5" basketball center with legs for days, and while I can't sit completely criss-cross applesauce like TPBC provided due to this chair's arms, I can twist my ridiculously long body into many comfortable positions with how wide the seat is. I don't think it would provide a comfortable amount of wiggle room for any of my heavier set friends out there, but my needs are met. The top of my head does go a couple inches above the back of the chair when it's straight up, but leaning back provides the perfect angle for me to tilt my head back and rest. The legs on this thing are sturdy. I am greatly enjoying leaning as far back as I please without the neverending threat of potential death looming over me, and I think after a good bit of use it will lean back as far as I'd like. The lowest setting is a little high for my semi-low desk, but my criss-crossed legs still fit under comfortably. Appearance-wise this baby looks just like the picture. The cushions provide good back/spine alignment and while I was concerned that the cushy pad at the front of the seat would be annoying its not at all, it actually provides more support and prevents me from tipping forward. The twisty thing that sets how easily you can lean back does its job perfectly, as does the height adjustment. If you're not looking to spend a bajillion dollars on an executive chair with the most confusing reviews in the world and you don't have the ability to go find a chair you can test in a store cause your tuition keeps you tap dancing the poverty line, this is a really. great. chair.

Pros: Built like a tank, total of six parts and 12 screws. Very comfortable seating surfaces and cushioning. Star was all metal (cast aluminum I think) rather than five legs and a hub. Cons: While it rocks front to back, you can't lock it in any position but fully upright.

I like the chair overall. I do have several issues with it, however. - The seat height does not adjust down far enough. It's a big and TALL chair, with emphasis on the tall. If you're under 6ft tall, your feet will not touch the ground even on the lowest setting. - The armrests are super comfy, but do not have any adjustment at all. - The cushions feel great. Nice and firm for support, but still soft enough to be comfortable. I wish the lower back cushion was a tiny bit smaller, but it seems like they went with the lumbar support over the comfort. It's "fine". - The recline works well, but it does not recline back very far, and I can already feel the chair wanting to tip backwards a bit even with the limited recline. This is probably because the chair is so tall, it has a high center of gravity. I would give this chair 5 stars easily if the seat could be lowered another 2 inches. It's very comfortable and pretty well-built, it just doesn't fit my body completely perfectly (5'11" 195lbs man).

I've been actively using this chair now for a few weeks and overall its pretty decent. But even from the get-go I noticed a weird smell on it. Figured that it was leather so it probably had an odor that would fade as it'd been wrapped in plastic and such. So I kept using it. But the smell still hasn't gone away. In fact I'd say it's gotten worse. I'd compare its likeness to a dirty cat box. I tried contacting support twice now. Once was for something that worked itself out so its not worth mentioning. The second was about the smell. Both times the email I got back was a very copy/pasted response telling me to call a different company because apparently Serta doesn't make the chairs. So -- why are you selling a product you're unwilling to support? If they had just responded with some simple tips on ways to get rid of that smell, we'd be golden. Instead I'm sitting here frustrated because they went the easy route and bounced me to a different company. One that I'd have to call to get any support since their automated message failed to list any other options. Is the chair comfortable? Yeah it's pretty nice. It does wobble more than I like. The feeling of it moving unsecured in the bottom (the part with the rollers attached) can get annoying and I hope it doesn't wear it prematurely. The smell is pretty bad though. Every time I sit when it pushes the air out of the cushion, it stinks. Glad I don't have this in an office setting or I'm sure I'd get complaints. EDIT: March 10, 2023 This is really not worth the cost. The seat CONSTANTLY wobbles like it's not screwed in all the way or the base isn't seated right. It won't stay up. A couple sits and it slowly sinks back to the lowest setting. It feels like it's cheaply made. Sure the cushioning is comfortable, but when it feels like it's not stable, and you can't keep it at a comfortable height, that's obviously a big deal. I haven't even had this a year and its definitely less quality than the cheaper one I bought YEARS ago. One that lasted me a very long time, and I was able to comfortably use up until the seams were coming out, and the seat had tilted forward from daily use for many years. I'd say at least five years? And it was a Serta as well. That's pretty sad that the quality has declined that much when a seat that costs 100.00 MORE, can't even last a year. This is pretty ridiculous. UPDATE - Almost three years of using this chair daily and I heard a pop a few days ago. The chair is now very wobbly. A while back it stopped staying at the fully lifted position and slowly sinks down. Maybe a year or year and a half ago? Now after hearing that pop, I went to see if maybe one of the bolts had come loose or snapped or something. Turns out the actual plate has snapped and there's cracks as well. And reaching customer service requires a phone call instead of a form where I can submit images. I'm going to have to see if it can be welded back because I doubt they're going to replace the plate. It's unfortunate since the rest of it seems alright. The smell faded after a bit, but it still gets a bit of that weird scent to it sometimes. Still not sure the reason behind it. Anyway if this is the quality of their chairs, I'm never using their products again. This is insane. There's no reason for the plate to have broken the way it did when I'm not over the weight limit and am not rough with the usage of this chair.

Easy to assemble. Quality parts and finishing's. Exceptionally comfortable. Looks classy! Best value in the marketplace. Highly recommended.
