Bottom line

The Raynor Eurotech Ergohuman LE9ERG is worth a look for customers who want a taller leather chair without sacrificing adjustability and comfort. Owners praise the chair's ergonomics, generous back and headrest, saying it's a good pick for longer frames. However, some say that despite the leather, the chair doesn't feel plush. It carries a lifetime warranty, but the Ergohuman suffers from mixed quality and service reviews.

Comfort

Tall back and headrest win praise. The Raynor Eurotech Ergohuman LE9ERG features a padded leather seat, back and headrest. It's also offered with a leather seat and mesh back and headrest (Est. $660). The chair has adjustments for tilt, tension control, seat height and depth, armrest height and width, lumbar support, back and headrest. Reviewers say the range of adjustments is impressive. Some note that the wide seat and tall back make it a good choice for a range of body types, but it's particularly well suited for taller users. A few note that the leather is overly firm, so those who want a plush executive chair they can truly sink into may want to look elsewhere.

Durability

Some quality and service complaints. The Raynor Eurotech Ergohuman LE9ERG supports up to 250 pounds, but there are mesh models with 300-pound capacities (Est. $745). Some owners complain that the build quality is lacking and that some of the adjustment mechanisms failed within a few years. Raynor backs the chair with a limited lifetime warranty and a satisfaction guarantee that allows customers to return the chair for a full refund within 30 days, but customers are responsible for shipping except in the case of company error. They also must pay a restocking fee. Customer-service reviews are mixed, with one reviewer saying the company hung up on them during a report of a faulty armrest.
