Decent chair. Not particularly comfortable.

First, I'll say that this chair seems well built. It's very easy to assemble (don't even need any tools), and the 10 year warranty is a pretty big selling point, since most chairs I've looked at/tried only have 1 year (if that). However, it's not very comfortable for me. I've tried a lot of chairs in stores in an attempt to find one that's comfortable. I'm 6'2", and apparently they don't make chairs for people of that height. Most of the chairs I sit in are immediately uncomfortable, but even those that aren't uncomfortable right away become uncomfortable after sitting in them for a while. So I figured I'd take a chance on this chair (even though I couldn't try it in store first) based on the numerous reviews that talked about how comfortable it is, and the fact that it even looks very fluffy/comfy. Unfortunately, that's not the case. While it does have a higher back than other chairs I've tried (including a gaming chair I returned because the "headrest" pushed into my upper back), the lumbar support is lacking and I've had to use a small pillow at my lower back to compensate. That's not so big of a deal, but the real issue is the front of the seat. It is stiffer and larger than the rear part of the seat (which is comfortable) and so it pushes against the bottom of my legs while I sit. After a while, that gets pretty annoying. At this point, I'm hoping that it "breaks in" eventually and becomes more pliable and less uncomfortable, but for now, I'll just have to deal with it. I can't seem to find any chairs that aren't a pain to sit in.

Tried in store- really comfortable

This chair is very comfortable, much better than the $100 Sam;s Club Serta that I replaced. Very easy tool-less assembly. But what is really incredible in this price range and needs to be highlighted is that this La-Z-Boy comes with a full 10 year warranty and that is on the entire chair, not just the mechanical parts. My only negative is that once again Fedex failed to deliver on the day they indicated it would be delivered and the box was almost destroyed due to poor handling. It had major gashes that had been taped up. Fortunately no damage claims were necessary.

Great Chair & great back support

I went thru 3 different chairs and had to take each one back to office store, I finally sat in this and was hesitant because of the price but it was well worth the extra dollars compared to the others I have tried. You get what you pay for. Got this on sale 40 dollars off

best chair ever

I bought this chair because of the weight it can support, this is by far the most comfortable office chair I have ever used. It's wider, plusher, and sturdier than chairs I have purchased at 5's the price. One of my employees loved it so much I had to purchase one to avoid coming into work to my chair being stolen.

Great comfortable chair

I just received my La-Z-Boy office chair today. It was the easiest chair assembly I have experienced. So much so, it was almost a joy. It is the most comfortable office chair I have ever sat in. If it is like all the other La-Z-Boy chairs I've had, it will give me years and years of use.

Perfect Size

This La-Z-Boy Chair was the way to go!!! It's big, roomy and very comfy. I got it on sell and it was worth every penny. If you find yourself questioning the size of other chairs being to snug, then look for a La-Z-Boy Chair, you won't be disappointed.

Great chair but Customer service, not so much

I bought the chair and have been happy with it except the back of the chair was torn when it was shipped to me. I contacted the 1-800 number, and they promptly sent me another back for the cair. Unfortunately, it was the wrong back to the chair, and it comes with NO INSTALLATION instructions. I called and emailed the lady who first helped me, with no luck in reaching her. FINALLY, I was able to speak with Andrea, a senior customer service representative, and she said the original person no longer worked there, and she had sent me the wrong back. Andrea promptly sent me the correct back, which I have received, however, once again, no instructions for replacement of the old back. I contacted Andrea once again, and she says there are no instructions but its really easy to do. I asked her to send me a pic of it being done, and nothing so far. She also said to dispose of the back they initially sent me (brand new) and the old one as they don't want them back. What a waste! I just got off the phone with the La-Z-Boy store here and they wwere rude, telling me basically to take it back to where I bought it, and have them repair it! Obviously, Sams doesn't have a repair department.... Like I said, I love the chair but the customer service so far, hasn't been good.. Any help would be appreciated.

Most comfortable desk chair I've ever owned!

I saw this chair at sams and tried it out, it was so comfortable so I thought I'd give it a chance and ordered it online. I made the right decision, because this chair does everything that I've been looking for in a desk chair. It's roomy, the seat is perfectly padded, the color is nice and the support is just right for me. The Serta I had was $400 and a compete waste of money, though the seat was cushioned the rest of the chair ( including the adjustable arms which always fell off) was garbage. This lazy boy lives up to the standards so far and I am really happy with it. I almost think I should buy another and keep it in the box for when this one needs replacement. I highly recommend this chair if your looking for a large chair that doesn't slide you into the floor and offers comfort.

Could use a more stable base.

I've been using this chair for a year, and I've fallen back twice, randomly, without doing anything that would obviously cause a person to fall back in their chair, like tilting the chair back beyond its design, so the wheels come off the ground. The first time could've been a fluke, but the second time - it's the chair. The base just happened to be oriented in a way that made it more susceptible to tipping, which shouldn't even be a thing. Perhaps the base needs to be longer, heavier, and or have an additional wheel. I'm about 230lbs. I chose this chair, for the headroom in its capacity to handle my weight. Thankfully, I only got a little bump. I wouldn't recommend this chair for fear that someone else may get hurt worse.
