A backrest that opens from 99 degrees to 155 degrees changes what a desk chair can be asked to do. Upright at 99 degrees it is a working seat; pushed back toward 155 degrees, with the retractable footrest pulled out from underneath, it opens to a near-flat angle that covers a relaxing posture as readily as a reading one. The footrest slides away again when it is not wanted, so the chair keeps a 39-inch by 26-inch footprint at 47 inches to 49.5 inches tall, then stretches to 52 inches long and drops to 38.5 inches high once fully reclined. Support is layered rather than fixed: the headrest adjusts, the head pillow lifts off entirely if you prefer none, and a separate lumbar pad meets the small of the back, so the neck, back, and lower spine each get their own contact point. The 19-inch square seat lifts between 17 inches and 19.5 inches, a usefully low range for shorter users who normally sit with their feet dangling. Chenille fabric covers the whole chair, a soft napped weave that feels warmer against skin than mesh, and underneath it sit high-quality upholstery layers of sponge and EPE foam over a plywood shell, so the surface stays resilient rather than compressing into a hollow. Linkage armrests are soft-padded and swing with the backrest as you recline, keeping the forearms carried instead of dropping away. The base is a robust five-claw frame on an SGS-certified gas cylinder with five smooth-rolling casters, rated to 350 lbs at a chair weight of 33 lbs, and the padded footrest is 13 inches by 8 inches by 2.5 inches. Assembly is needed before first use.
