Specs

Because the B990 Big Man Chair is made to handle height, width and weight, it's been made both dimensionally larger and structurally stronger. The seat measures 23.75" (W) by 20" (D) and as an adjustable height with a low of 19.5" and a high of 22.5". The chair back measure 26.5" (H) by 25" (W).

Other features on the chair include a pneumatic lift that allows the user to comfortably and easily adjust the seat height, a double-paddle tilting mechanism and a metal base that's significantly sounder and stronger than basic plastic models. The chair also comes with heavy-duty wheels, designed to balance a heavy weight load.

Style

The Big Man B990 is definitely designed for functionality rather than style. The chair comes in a basic black and has an optional metal or black painted metal tubing. Buyers don't customize, play with colors or get fancy looking features like a mesh back. This is clearly a chair that has a purpose, and it achieves it with a very utilitarian style.

Price

At full retail price, most consumers can expect to pay around $300 USD for the Boss B990. However, it can often be found online at a fraction of the price and even for less than $200 USD. Price and value are the two major selling points for the Big Man chair. It essentially offers the same product as its ergonomic, specialty competitors, but for a fraction of the price.

Will It Hold the Weight?

Unfortunately, despite the Big Man's B990 high-quality construction, the chair still only holds 350 pounds. While it doesn't need to break into the 500-pound plus market, the chair could stand to increase it's weight rating to at least 400 pounds.

Summation

Overall, the Boss Big Man Chair is a great fit for someone looking for an office chair that fits their dimensions, holds their weight and will stand up through the test of time and use. The price is right and the construction is too. However, the chair might not cut it for customers who want a breathable mesh fabric back or a higher weight capacity.
