Fit Guide

A comfortable seat height is about a quarter of your body height. Here is how this chair's listed seat range lines up (how we rate).

Your height	Seat range	Fit	Weight
4'11" to 5'3"	16 to 21 in seat (ideal about 15.3 in)	Seat may be too high	Rated to 300 lb
5'4" to 5'7"	16 to 21 in seat (ideal about 16.4 in)	Good fit	Rated to 300 lb
5'8" to 5'11"	16 to 21 in seat (ideal about 17.4 in)	Good fit	Rated to 300 lb

Leather upholsteryCenter-tiltTilt tensionMemory foam topFixed arms

What We Like

The tilt is a center-tilt mechanism with an adjustable tension control.
The seat has a memory foam top layer.
The warranty is listed as the HON Full Lifetime Warranty, and the warranty note comes from the manufacturer.

Watch Out For

Only 9 reviews back the 3.2 rating, one of the lowest ratings in its category.
The Ergo Score of 21 is among the lowest in its category; adjustability gives up the most points, with a sub-score of 10 and the seat depth, lumbar adjustment, recline, tilt lock and advanced tilt lines all at zero.
The listing does not state a lumbar support, a headrest or a recline angle.

At a Glance

The listing is titled only HON, Black, so the details come from the spec fields: a leather-covered center-tilt chair with a memory foam top layer, fixed arms and a tilt tension control. The warranty is the HON Full Lifetime Warranty, and the capacity is 300 lb.

Who This Chair Is For

Sitters at the lower end of seat heights, since the range starts at 16 inches.
Shoppers who prefer a leather-covered executive look.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Anyone who wants arms they can adjust: the listing describes the arms as fixed.
Anyone who prefers a breathable back material should note that the back upholstery is SofThread leather.

What HON's listing says about its arms and seat sizes

The arms are fixed. The manufacturer's spec sheet gives a seat depth of 17.5 inches and a seat height range of 16 to 21 inches, and the casters are hard casters.
