Branch Daily Chair

Who it fits

People from about 5′10″ to 6′8″ tall. The seat goes from 17″ to 21″ high and is 19″ deep: the seat height and depth that range needs. It’s rated for 225 lb, so it suits people up to about 180 lb with the 25% headroom we look for. With height-adjustable armrests and built-in lumbar support, it adjusts less than most, so it suits shorter days better than long ones.

Who should look elsewhere

• If you’re shorter than 5′10″: the seat is 19″ deep at its shortest, and at 5′9″ you need 18″ or less, so the edge presses behind your knees. Try the Branch Ergonomic Chair, which fits from 5′6″.
• If you weigh more than about 180 lb, you want a higher weight rating. Try the HON Ignition 2.0 Mid-Back Mesh Task Chair, rated for 300 lb.
