I fail to understand what comment insulted you or any other user. If I DID insult anyone I don't have a problem to apologise since this wasn't my intention, however I think that you are overreacting and in the end you insult me, the reviewer, with your comment. I didn't like at all the "drop the..." at the start of your sentence although you included the "please" word in the end.

No insult intended, am German, hence it might come across as "rude" as I am usually writing short and with intent :oops:

Btw - it was one "drop the" sentence, not multiple :toast:

Edit: Forgot to add - I find the current view of "healthy" weight rather narrow and usually on the wrong side of the scale. Without knowing the circumstance of the person, judgement on weight is purely preferential. I have plenty of friends who exceed the 120KG without being overweight for how they are / what they do.

Came across this review some weeks ago (actually this was my 'introduction' to techpowerup) while google-ing for reviews of this chair.
Having used it enough by now, i can say this review is quite fair, though in my humble opinion, not as accurate as it could have been.

So without discounting anything already mentioned, i would only add four things:

- Chair is a bit taller than it should have been. Lower it all the way down and my feet barely touch the ground, which becomes an issue after a few hours (as i can only compensate by adding more strain to my back and/or start sliding down, which again adds to back strain). For reference, am about 5'75''.
Unless you're taller than average, you'll probably need a foot stand of some sort.

- Tilt mechanism is better than that of the average chair's, but still no way as good as (i think) it should have been in a product of this value. Your back will still rock when you lean back, just.. slightly. If you have back issues, remember that 'slightly' only applies to others; not us :)
You were warned.

- If you can/are willing to, give the extra 200$ and buy the proper leather one. It's a noticeable difference (well duh) and not just in comfort; more friction, less sliding. Your butt will approve, lol

- Am quite fit and bulkier than average. Chair fits just fine; zero issues, balls included, since someone mentioned that. However: Bulky is one thing, fat is another. For a fat person, i would really advise refraining from an online purchase. Find it somewhere, sit on it. Might be too erm, slim for you.
