Hi, would you recommend this chair for sitting 8-10 hours/day? I work from home and need a very comfortable chair. Is the seat/back supportive?

I think the chair is comfortable, but I don't get to sit very much on my job. It does give some support.

No. I had one for less that a year and ended up throwing it away. Total waste of money. Not well built.

I'm a college student so I have days where I sit in front of my computer all day and I can say the chair is comfortable for long durations of work. It is very large! For that reason the back support is pretty far back. Overall it's a nice chair with great cushioning but if you don't have a big desk to fit the harm rests you won't have good back support.

Great looking chair and quite comfortable but 8 hours is a long time to sit

No, seat and back are hard, they support but are hard and 8 to 10 hours would not be fun.

May not be best for long sitting. Seat is deep, I'm 6'2 so sitting well back in the seat works for me. Back is very upright.

Excellent chair. Very well built, delivered in sturdy packaging and needed quick assembly, had for a few years and very durable and comfortable. That said, we do not use 8 hours a day but more as a casual computer chair in our family roomso we can't really say what that level of seating may be like. It is a very nice chair.

This chair is gorgeous. It is for looks only. It would not be comfortable to sit in for any period of time. It is very stiff.

Sandra, I sit in this chair for 6-7 hours per day. 225lb man. After one year the padding is still as firm and comfortable as the day I received it. It isn't a Herman Miller $500.00 ergonomic chair but I am still VERY pleased with my purchase.

I'm 5'8" and find it very comfortable. It's ability to flex/lean may be why it seems to accommodate so many different people. I needed to take a break after the first 3-4 hours using it because I felt tired, but I haven't gone back to the office chair since that first day.I don't know if there is a way to raise or lower it. That's a good question for the seller.

I am 5'8" and 220 lbs. i am at my desk a lot. (6-10 hours a day) This chair helps me correct my posture and relieves the problems I have in my upper back that limit how long I can sit. It is not as comfortable as my regular desk chair [Rated by Office Depot for 8 hours]. That rating is accurate as long as I am not working. When I am working, the combination of stress and posture issue get painful after two hours. On the kneeling chair, I have no back pain but my seat gets tired after 4 hours. I switch between the two to get through my day. It is very good, but it could really use more padding in the seat. I am 5'8" and 220 lbs. i am at my desk a lot.

I am a couple hairs over 5'10, and I think that the chair offers great support for me. The chair back does lay nicely behind my head with a little room to spare (for his extra height over me?). The chair back gets thinner toward the top, farther from the primary cushioned back, so my head ends up positioned a little farther back than what I prefer. The chair is still very comfortable for me without any added pillows or anything, though. I hope this helps.

The chair has great lumbar support. I had a friend over who is 6'4" and has back problems and he said the chair was super comfortable. I use it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week for my home office and I'm very happy with the purchase. It was also very easy to put together. Very few parts.

The back seems fairly supportive. I lean back on it...but not with all my body weight. I sit normally and am comfortable. As for the stability of the chair...the hooks are best. But... I have used it without the hooks to try it out. The bottom is rubberized so it stays fairly stationary. If you are a wiggle worm you might end up on the floor. If you sit normally you should be comfortable and stay put!

Once I got used to the chair I can sit in it all day. But, you can't sit in it for 8 hours straight right off the bat. I had to let my body get used to it over the course of about a week. Now I love it and it's the only office chair I use.

My husband has minor back issues and loves this chair. It is his home office chair, so he doesn't have to sit in it for 5+ hours, but it is very comfortable for several hours for sure!

Seat padding is fine. Back support leans back a bit and I find myself unconsciously tilting my head forward. 8 hours, perhaps?

We use our chairs for approximately 8+ hours per day at my office, and the seat is comfortable. I agree with Ryan B. about the back, as I have found myself leaving back a good bit (versus sitting straight like my old chair). Overall, however, it is a very comfortable chair, and I'm happy with it.

I find it to be very sturdy. It does not lean back as an office chair would but it is not meant to. Its purpose is to provide support for your back which it does very well. One of the best purchases I have ever made for my drumming and bad back.

I find the chair comfortable. I have sat in it for 4 to 6 hours at a time, and have had no problems. Keep in mind I have no back problems or any other issues. I am sure there is a more comfortable chair out there, but you will probably pay a lot more for it. This is good comfort for a good price in my opinion.

Rock... well its not a rocking chair. Its built well over all, no backward motion in it if that is the question. As for extended use - I added another seat cushion, though for most that probably wouldn't be necessary. The extra cushion also adds a bit more height to the chair as I like to keep my workstation KB and Mouse platform a bit higher than the work table. Ive sat in it for hours a a time with no adverse issues... as I said in my rating description... love the chair! if you get one that doesn't have the seat back locking problem - I think most anyone would be very pleased ~~

Linda, Personally I find this chair extremely comfortable because of the way my lower back is supported. I would recommend it.

I work from home quite a bit and have never had a problem with the chair. Because I have bad knees, I tend to throw a pillow down to sit on just to elevate my knees more, but the chair is very comfortable.

I really like these chairs and they are very comfortable for how I use them. I use them around my kitchen counter. I don't think I would use them to sit for 8 hours in an office.
