Why This Site Exists
I'm Jackson Christopher — 6'4", a Mechanical Engineering senior at UC Berkeley. For years I dealt with lower back pain and shoulder tension that I blamed on long study sessions. The real problem was simpler: every chair I owned was designed for someone shorter than me. Seat height too low, lumbar support in the wrong place, backrest ending below my shoulder blades.
I started systematically testing chairs in 2019 to solve my own problem. What I found was that every major buying guide was written for people 5'6"–5'11" — and the recommendations reflected it. I built Tall Chair Advisor to be the resource I couldn't find: dimension-first, engineering-grounded, and written by someone who literally can't fit in standard chairs.
