An office chair for tall person use needs three things in balance: enough seat-height range for feet to stay flat, enough seat depth to support the thighs without pressing the knees, and a backrest tall enough to support the upper back in the way you actually sit. For most tall buyers, the safest choice is an adjustable chair with seat-height and seat-depth adjustment; a fixed low-back chair can still work, but only if your desk height, leg length and sitting style already match it.
In this shop, the clearest tall-user options are the Decomica D200 Ergonomic High Back Mesh Office Chair, Decomica D211 Ergonomic High Back Mesh Office Chair and Decomica D222 Ergonomic High Back Mesh Office Chair, all €179, because they have adjustable seat height and depth, a high mesh back, adjustable lumbar support, a height- and angle-adjustable neck pillow, 3-level recline, 360° swivel, and are rated to 150 kg.
If you want a leather executive format, the Eames Soft Pad High Back EA219 Office Chair Replica – Dark Brown Leather is €344 and measures 59 x 63 x 109 cm (W x L x H), while lower-back leather options such as the Eames office chair EA 217 Light Grey Leather – Replica – Soft pad Low back at €339 and 59 x 61 x 90 cm (W x L x H) suit buyers who do not need a high back.
How to choose an office chair for tall person use
Start with seat height, because it decides whether the chair can meet your body at desk level. A tall sitter usually needs enough upward adjustment to keep knees around level with, or slightly below, the hips while the feet stay fully supported on the floor. If a chair stops too low, the result is not just inconvenience: you end up compensating with your desk, foot placement or recline angle.
Next, check seat depth. Tall users often need more thigh support than standard compact office chairs provide. But more depth is not always better. You still want a small gap between the seat front and the back of the knee, so the seat supports the thighs without pressing into the leg. That is why adjustable depth matters more than a single “deep seat” claim.
Then look at back height. A low-back chair can be fine for upright task work if the seat size and desk height are already right. A high-back chair is usually easier for taller people because it gives more usable support range as you shift between upright work and reclined reading. If you regularly lean back, a head or neck support that adjusts in both height and angle is useful.
The D-series chairs are the most straightforward fit-led choice here. All three black mesh models cost €179 and share the same practical specification: breathable high mesh back, adjustable lumbar support (up, down, in and out), height- and angle-adjustable neck pillow, 3-level recline, 360° swivel, adjustable seat height and depth, rated to 150 kg, with polyester/nylon and reinforced metal construction and fire-retardant high-resilience foam.
If you prefer a leather office chair, compare high-back versus low-back honestly. The high-back EA219 dark brown leather model at €344 and 59 x 63 x 109 cm (W x L x H) gives visibly more back length than the low-back EA217 and EA117 chairs, each around 90 cm overall height.
For buyers who like a lighter visual footprint, see the Eames office chair EA 217 Cream Leather – Replica – Soft pad Low back at €329, 59 x 61 x 90 cm (W x L x H), or the Eames office chair EA 117 Orange Leather Thin pad Low back Replica at €299, 59 x 61 x 90 cm (W x L x H).
For background on the design lineage of office seating, the Museum of Modern Art is a neutral reference. For this shop’s own office range, the broad starting point is the Eames Office Chairs category, which currently has 38 models priced from €179 to €409, for example 59 x 61 x 90 cm.
The decisive measurements that matter most
1) Seat height: this is the first pass or fail point for a tall buyer. You need enough height adjustment to meet your desk without forcing you to tuck your legs too sharply or spread your feet too far forward.
The shop publishes a precise seat-height range for one executive office format: the ES104 lobby chair has seat height adjustable 48–54 cm, overall 72 × 70 × 91–97 cm (W × D × H), a 45 cm backrest height, 58 cm seat width, 48 cm seat depth and 70–76 cm armrest height.
2) Seat depth: taller legs usually need more contact under the thighs. On fixed-seat chairs, depth is make-or-break. On adjustable chairs, it is far easier to tune. The D200, D211 and D222 all have adjustable seat depth, which is the key reason they are the most adaptable task-chair option here.
3) Back height: a tall torso often benefits from a high back, especially if you alternate between upright typing and leaning back. The high-back EA219 is 109 cm overall height, compared with 90 cm for the low-back EA217 and EA117 models listed above.
4) Width and arm position: width matters less than buyers think unless the chair is unusually narrow. What matters more is whether your elbows can sit naturally at desk height. The low-back leather office chairs here are 59 cm wide, while the EA219 is also 59 cm wide but deeper at 63 cm length.
5) Recline and neck support: if you are tall, a recline mechanism that works with your height is usually more useful than a heavily padded seat alone. The D-series mesh chairs add 3-level recline and an adjustable neck pillow; the leather executive and management formats rely more on their fixed form and office-chair mechanism.

For the question on this page, the category that matters most is Eames Office Chairs, because it spans €179 to €409 across 38 models. If you want the broadest fit adjustment, begin with the D-series mesh task chairs. If you want a leather office chair and know you prefer a taller back, move to the EA219 format before considering lower-back EA217 or EA117 styles.

Delivery terms are published shop-wide. Shipping is free, with no minimum order value, to the 25 countries available at checkout: Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. The price shown is the price paid, with no extra charge added at checkout and no customs or handling charge collected on delivery in these countries.
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days of confirmation and delivered by DPD, fully tracked. The shipping policy states delivery typically arrives within 6–9 working days door to door, and tracking details are emailed as soon as the order is dispatched. The shop publishes one delivery window for all categories, and weekend delivery is not part of the standard service.
Most single-product orders ship in one package; larger items may arrive in several boxes. Multi-item orders may be split across deliveries but are dispatched together. Office chairs use polished or chromed aluminium five-star bases, and the D-series uses polyester/nylon with reinforced metal construction. Support is by email at support@decomica.com and live chat on every page; there is no telephone support, and the shop is online-only with no showroom.
Returns are straightforward but not identical for every reason. You have 14 days from delivery to request a return, items must be unused and in their original packaging, and nothing may be sent back without return authorisation from support@decomica.com. For a change of mind, the refund is made minus a €40 return fee that covers the DPD collection. If an item arrives faulty, damaged in transit or wrong, the return is free: DPD collects it from your door and the shop sends a replacement or a full refund if reported within 14 days with a few photos.
Common mistakes tall buyers make
Buying by overall chair height alone. A taller overall chair is not automatically a better fit. What matters first is seat-height range, then seat depth, then whether the back shape matches how you sit. The 109 cm high EA219 is more likely to suit a tall user than a 90 cm low-back chair, but only if the seat and desk relationship also works.
Assuming low-back means “not for tall people”. Some tall users work upright most of the day and prefer the lighter feel of a low-back chair. In that case, a model such as the EA217 Light Grey or EA217 Cream can still be sensible, especially in a carefully matched desk setup. The mistake is buying it without checking whether you wanted upper-back support in the first place.
Ignoring seat-depth adjustment. This is one of the most common misses. Taller buyers often look for more back height but forget that a short seat can feel unsupported under the thighs. The D-series solves this better than fixed-size office chairs because the seat depth adjusts.
Choosing by appearance before use case. A meeting-room chair, management chair and task chair do not behave the same way through a full workday. If you sit for long, varied sessions and need adjustability, start with the mesh task chairs. If your priority is a cleaner leather look and you already know your fit, then compare the leather office models.
Overlooking the return window and packaging. Keep the original packaging during the 14-day return window, because returns must be repacked in it. Each piece is inspected by the shop’s own team before dispatch, but packaging still matters if you decide the fit is not right after delivery.
Frequently asked questions
Is a high-back chair always better for a tall person?
No. A high back is often easier to fit because it gives more usable support range, but it is not automatically better. If your desk height, leg position and working posture are already right, a low-back chair can work well. The key is to prioritise seat height and seat depth first, then back height.
Which current models are the safest bet if I am tall and not sure?
The three D-series chairs are the safest starting point because all cost €179 and all have adjustable seat height and depth, adjustable lumbar support, a height- and angle-adjustable neck pillow, 3-level recline and a high mesh back. That gives more room to tune the fit after delivery than a fixed-format leather chair.
What if I want leather rather than mesh?
Then compare by back format. The EA219 dark brown leather is the clearest high-back option named here at €344, 59 x 63 x 109 cm (W x L x H). Lower-back options include the EA217 cream at €329 and EA217 light grey at €339, both 59 x 61 x 90 cm, and the EA117 orange at €299, also 59 x 61 x 90 cm.
How quickly will my chair arrive?
Orders are dispatched within 1–2 working days of confirmation. Delivery is by DPD, fully tracked, and typically arrives within 6–9 working days door to door. Tracking details are emailed when the order is dispatched.
What warranty applies?
Every piece has a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. To claim, email support@decomica.com with the order number, a short description and photos; the shop arranges a repair, replacement or refund as appropriate.
