HERCULES Series Big & Tall 500 lb. Rated Black LeatherSoft Executive Swivel Ergonomic Office Chair with Arms

Pros 1. Comfy. Not to hard, Not to soft. 21.5 inches from arm pad to arm pad. 2.It is a solid chair. The base is metal under the plastic covers, the arms are metal and the mechanism is solid. 3.It is inexpensive. I couldn't find anything like it close to this price. Cons 1.It is a little bit hard to put together. The allen wrench supplied with it is almost up to the task. I'd guess that you could make it work. I used my own tools. And it is not light. You might need two people for this. 2.The packaging was not great. It was easy to remove from the box, but the package with the screws and things had come open. 3. The plastic base cover was slightly dented. This could have been included in 2. Not a big deal to me. 4.It seems a little high. Idk, maybe because the old one was lower. On the other hand, my feet set flat on the floor. Kinda' nice. All in all, now that I have it together and where it goes, I am very happy with the chair. I am 6' 5" and about 300 lbs.

This is a nice, sturdy chair, designed for larger folk. It has an adjustable spring loaded recline, and pneumatic height adjustment. With that comes the fact that it is heavy, 60lbs. The structural parts are steel, not aluminum. I inadvertently ordered two of them—my bad, but easy to do when transferring items from the wish list while being incessantly interrupted by sales calls. I liked the first one well enough, I didn’t return the second one (that arrived four days later!?) Just a reminder for you older folks—this is heavy. In both chairs the package containing the small parts had broken open and the parts were loose in the large (heavy) carton. Both cartons had suffered some shipping damage, no doubt due to UPS not being well versed in handling heavy packages. All my parts were accounted for, and fortunately so were all the chair parts. But be prepared to make a trip to the hardware store. The bolts, in various lengths, are all Metric, #6 hex drive. And the ends are coated with a thread locker solution—A nice touch. Check the parts list against the parts found in the carton. Assembly was almost straightforward – only needed to refer to the instructions/parts list once. Common sense gets you through the rest. One tip—put the wheels on last or the chair keeps scooting away from you during assembly. One problem turned up. Trying to insert a bolt into the threaded, captive nut holding an arm to the back, I discovered the nut was either not threaded or threaded incorrectly. It is hard to get the bolts started by hand (threadlocker) so it could have been my fault (but I doubt that—this is not my first assembly.) Anyhow a trip to my tool room to retrieve a #6 metric tap (threader) and that was that. Then on the second chair, the same thing happened, same nut. Not only not threaded correctly, but misaligned as well. Fortunately I had purchased extra #6 bolts for the first chair. After about an hour of rethreading and alignment I was able to finish assembly. Another tip: make sure the bolts will go into the nuts BEFORE you assemble the chair. Assembly completed! (Did I mention this chair is heavy?) Perhaps in a year or so, I will further comment on the chairs. I'd give this chair a 5, if it weren't for the assembly problems.

I'm 6'4" 250lbs and find this chair PERFECTLY sized for me. Very comfortable and supportive in all the right spots. It had all the needed hardware and went together with no problems. The materials and construction are heavy duty and I have no doubt they will last many years. Only time will tell on the the leather though since it looks nice now, but is obviously not top grain. The base is steel with plastic trim caps on top. The arms are also steel and have a very solid feel with no side to side flex. The seat depth is perfect for my 6'4" frame and supports my legs comfortably without cutting circulation to my lower legs. At the lowest height, the chair is perfect for me and my feet sit flat on the floor. any higher and they are dangling. IMO this chair should be marketed as "Tall" and not "Big and Tall". Even though the chair is rated up to 500lbs and would probably support that, I can't imagine anyone heavier than 320lbs or shorter than 6'2" would find this chair a good fit. However if you are 6'2"-6'8" under 320lbs, I think you will love it like I do.

THIS IS A TWO-PERSON JOB AS FAR AS PUTTING IT TOGETHER. IT SITS HIGH UP SO THAT WILL BE NICE IF YOU ARE TALL. ONE THING TO CONSIDER IS THAT YOU CANNOT ADJUST THE BACK OF THE CHAIR. IT'S SLIGHTLY TILTED TOWARDS THE BACK WHICH MAY BE UNCOMFORTABLE FOR SOME. IF YOU NEED A CHAIR THAT IS A LITTLE MORE "HEAVY DUTY" THIS IS A GOOD CHAIR. NOT A GREAT CHAIR BUT A GOOD ONE. IF YOU PLAN ON SITTING ON THIS FOR MANY HOURS IN A ROW YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECONSIDER AND SPEND A FEW MORE $$$ FOR A REALLY NICE ONE.

There's no denying that this chair is sturdy. It holds up to 500lb for a while (I am a guy who fluctuated between 430 and 470) but lost its cushion fairly quickly a little bit after the 2-year mark. Here we are in the 3rd month after its 5th year and I just lost the pneumatic piston under it. The cushion has been like sitting on a piece of wood panel for the longest time, the armrests are peeled and broken with cushion coming off the sides This chair has not been comfortable for more than half the time I've had it. The chair became loose once and I tightened it. The base is pretty sturdy and held up pretty nicely. The casters NEVER broke so points for that. The arms themselves are metal construction so those will hold on nicely for many years but the bolts are stripped easily - not on par with the sturdy chair construction they claimed... and the fabric & cushion parts leave a LOT to be desired. Overall, I WOULD ONLY recommend this chair - and buy another one myself - if this chair was CHEAPER, maybe if it was priced around $150 with shipping included. However, I will not recommend this chair for the current price of over three hundred and fifty dollars and you can't even get free shipping for it.

This is a big chair, at 6 foot 2 and 300 pounds normal office chairs are a little small (the arms are normally low) and normal chairs aren't rated for 300 pounds so the cylinders generally end up leaking. So far a nice chair.

Die Hydraulik des Stuhls versagte nach 45 Tagen Nutzung, aber ich habe eine viel geringere These als das, was dieser Stuhl aushalten soll. Jetzt lässt sich der Stuhl bis zur niedrigsten Stufe zurücklehnen, obwohl nur eine 100 kg schwere Person darauf sitzt. Wie kann ich eine Reklamation einleiten, damit ich zumindest ein Ersatzteil zur Reparatur bekomme? Amazon gibt an, dass es keine Garantie gibt und ich den Artikel zurückgeben kann, aber sie schicken ihn zurück und dann kaufe ich ihn wieder, jetzt ist der Preis fast doppelt so hoch und ja, es gibt keine Rechnung, aber das ist ihnen egal. Ich weiß also nicht, ob ich noch etwas bei Amazon kaufe, weil es keine Garantie gibt, vielleicht eine gute Verbraucherzahnpasta, die nicht verdirbt. KATASTROPHE, ich bin völlig enttäuscht.

Horrible chair and so overpriced. Cheap material. The metal was all rusty which indicates to me this was sitting in the storage for a long time. Chair gets dirty easily. Not a recommended buy. I can't believe I paid so much for this chair. I thought it would have quality but I was fooled completely. The chair gets dirty easily and makes a lot, but a lot of noise! Run away from this chair!

My son's 6'4 325lbs. So we thought the 500 lb capacity Hercules big and tall executive chair would hold his weight.. but after only a couple of weeks it's starting to show serious issues with balance. The chair is quite wobbly.. I'm hoping it won't worsen, but so far it looks like it's going to be another chair I need to toss after 6 months. Will raise rating if it still works after that.

重くてデカくて部屋の邪魔にしかなりません。 しかもキャスターからは潤滑オイルがたれまくるため 床が汚れてしまい、その掃除でウンザリさせられてしまいました。 それにくわえ座面には粘着テープを使っても除去できないポリエステル状の 糸状の白いごみがたくさん付着していました。 体重が100キロ超で無神経な人間以外は購入すべきでない商品と考えられます。 私は購入後２週間も立たずに大型ごみとして廃棄しました。
