Is this a good chair for a student / study long hours? My current chair hurts my lower back. I have to stretch and move every hour

This is a small but sturdy chair. I've never sat in it for hours. It's an adequate chair but it may not be my choice for sitting long hours or all day in.

It has good back support but with any chair you should get up every now and then

I would say it depends, as mentioned previously, the bottom and top are the same size and are directly under each other... so you couldn't scoot the chair underneath the desk portion. You would either have to put your feet on the bottom part or lean forward slightly... I am not a student anymore, but I would imagine that it would be a little uncomfortable for me for extended periods of time. Using it occasionally to write things down is ok, but I recommend it to be purely a computer desk, not a study desk. My $0.02.

I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it! It provides "active" sitting opportunities and my abdomen has become tighter as a result and my posture has improved. The padded bar you see pictured is not a backrest but more of a "grab bar" to assist in getting on/off the chair. There is not back support; no leaning back. My only complaint would be that the casters lock into place with just the slightest touch, like when my foot barely kicks one. Then I have to reach down and unlock it. Not really a big deal, but somewhat annoying. I have been sitting on one of these chairs for 8-9 hours a day, 5 days a week (at work), for a couple of years. I love it!

It's really not bad at all. I have lower back problems, so sitting for long periods of time is usually not my favorite thing, but I like this chair comfort-wise more than most.

This is not the chair for back pain. It is not plushly comfortable especially if you are a big person. It doesn't get much use in my living room except for video gaming. I tend not to watch TV in it and prefer my loveseat recliner.

I too have that issue and need lower back support. This chair is amazing for that! and much more.

That depends on individual using it. The chair is supportive and comfortable but not very wide. If you toss and turn a lot while sleeping, it's probably too narrow to accommodate you.

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.

My grandson loved the chair but after sitting in it for prolonged periods it gave him back problems. May try a different chair. Hope this helps you to make your decision.

This chair is very, very comfortable, even after a few hours. I will say, if you're not real nimble and have to get up and down a lot, it can be troublesome because you have to almost roll off and the push up from a kneeling position. The chair has held up very well in the year I've owned it. The ratchet positioning still works great and no signs of wearing out. My ONLY complaint is that over time, the cushioning in the area where the seat meets the back (where your butt sits) has compressed, so that now when I sit in it, I can feel a bar under my butt. I now have to us a thin pillow in that area to be more comfortable. If they could improve this one area, (maybe memory foam?) it would be perfect!

I want to ensure the "BOTTOM SUPPORT" of this seat is going to be comfortable for EVERYDAY USE, along w the "BACK Support". My child just turned 2 years old 4 days ago. He is custom & VERY use to His "Chairries/by JonTi-CrafT" but enough eating in living room!! Does anyone feel this Transition of not only The Cairrries but his own personal"Security, Stability, Safty" WILL BE MET BY THIS PRODUCT?

I no longer have this chair, it caused severe tail bone pain, so I got rid of it. Probably not okay for full work days, or more than an hour at a time.

It is an O.K. chair. I sometimes sit in it to rest my back But I would not buy it for a bad back. I think it would be better to look for a more solid chair.

No. -and IMO it is certainly not comfortable for hours of reclining even with an accompanying ottoman. This is a fairly rigid chair best used as a decoration that is occasionally used by guests to visit for an hour or less. (I use two of them and 2 ottomans to round out my library room opposite a love seat... little use except for guests, but very classy looking.

I don't quite agree with the 7/21 answer from JL. While the chair isn't bad, I dislike having to constantly reseat myself because the spring-loaded chair back keeps pushing me forward. Also be aware that their shipping packaging is, in a word, terrible. I have yet to recieve the correct part that was broken in shipping and have given up.

No! It is a terrible chair and will not hold up for anybody. You will be disappointed. As soon as I can get something else, this one goes in a dumpster. It is not worth my time to pack it up and send it back.

Hi there,It's actually comfortable for short periods. I'm using it for my dining table and I have two of them. For a quick meal or short duration, I like them. You can't really lean back in it, though. Therefore, as an accent chair or lightly used seating, it's good. Hope this helps.
