I always have problems with the lifts because i'm my chair for long hours. Will this chair be suitable for 350 lbs man 8-9 hours per day?

I could not tell you, we bought it for someone who is very tall and maybe weights 130 lbs.

I have not been using this chair for more than 2 hours at a time so I cannot say how it feels after 8+ hours. It is comfortable and sturdy enough for me (120 lbs). I would probably prefer a head rest for longer sessions because I like to recline occasionally.

This chair is very well made sturdy and looks great, with that said 8-10 hours per day one might be uncomfortable, as it has no cushion.

I'm 225 and lifted basic objects while on the stool. It is very sturdy with no side wiggle. I think you would be fine!

You won't have a problem. I've had this chair for 8 months and have no complaints. Very comfortable chair.

Hi Lucas, The chair is very sturdy, however, I don't think that it will be comfortable for a man of that size.

I weigh 285 and it seems to handle me just fine. The chair does tip forward when I have it fully reclined and lean forward to grab something. This is not a problem though if you put the chair back in the upright position. I am happy with the chair and would buy it again so far. I did not look to see what the chair was made out of but it seems solid and my backrest is still tight. If you are concerned, get the 5 year, everything covered, insurance upon purchase. Then if it falls apart on you, file the insurance claim and they will fix or replace it.

We used the plus version for my Mom, she weighed around 240. It is just an ok item, it can be difficult at times to lower or raise. We eventually just bought Mom an electric lift chair because she found the uplift cushion to be uncomfortable for sitting any length of time. We ended up just using it when we would take her to visit her family. The uplift is more of a makeshift solution, can be helpful sometimes but not for a longterm problem.

I take hourly breaks and occasionally swap the chair with a standard desk chair, but otherwise I'm fairly comfortable over 8 hours per day. regular chairs stress my back, this kneeling chair is easier on my back but is harder on my legs. Prolonged typing is hard on your body no matter what; yoga helps. I agree with happymom that it takes a couple weeks to get used to the kneeling chair, but after that it's fine. I wouldn't recommend for heavier people because the cushions do depress to the wood easily.

My husband uses this chair everyday, many hours a day! He weighs right about 200lbs. He has had no problems with it. He absolutely loves it! It took a little while to get use to it and get his body use to using it, but I don't think he will ever go back to a normal chair.

Yes, we used the lift for a short period, but were very happy with its performance. Follow safety precautions and you should be fine.

Hi John, I concur with the previous answer to this question. I'm a large man - 200+ lbs. As I've said in an earlier review I've basically had to "re-build" the hardware on the chair - lift, wheels, etc. All that started with the wheels going kaput! I still have it, but only because I re-worked it! If I had it to do over, I wouldn't buy this chair for myself...

19" I'm 5'9" and 195. Chair is strong, but back of chair is too deep. I have firm (hard) pillow on chair back for support. I use chair abour 4 hours per day.

I'd say that mine is about the same. Most "regular" chairs break on that mechanism for big guys. So it wouldn't surprise me if this was limited because this portion needs to be strengthened in the big & tall chairs.

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.

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 purchased this for my brother, he weighs approximately 325. He has had no problems with the chair holding up under his weight. He has been using for about 5 months. Hope this will help
