Best office chairs for tall people
If you’re tall, a standard chair leaves your knees higher than your hips and your thighs hanging off the front. You need a seat that goes high, a deep seat (or a seat slider) and a backrest that reaches your shoulders.
We ranked chairs for a 6′3″ person by their highest seat setting and seat depth.

- A seat depth of 19–20″ (or a seat slider) supports long thighs.
- A headrest or tall back helps if you lean back.
