Best big and tall office chairs
A big and tall chair needs a higher weight rating, a wider seat and a sturdy base, without giving up the adjustments that make a chair comfortable.
Every chair here is rated for at least 350 lb, and we rank those with about 25% headroom on top highest. All fit a 6′2″ frame.

What to look for
- Go by the rated capacity, not the marketing name. A common rule of thumb is about 25% headroom over your weight.
- Seat width of 21″ or more gives your hips room.
- Wide armrests that adjust in width keep your shoulders relaxed.
