Big and Tall Chairs

A standard office chair is designed around the middle of the height and weight range, and anyone outside it feels the difference quickly: a seat too shallow or narrow, a backrest that stops at the shoulder blades, a base that creaks. Big and tall chairs widen and deepen the seat, lengthen the back, and use heavier cylinders and bases rated for higher loads. The weight rating the maker prints is the number to check, along with seat width, how high the seat goes and whether the warranty holds at that load. This category covers makers and retailers with genuine big and tall ranges rather than one oversized model.
