Would this work for someone who's 6'5"? Looking at the dimensions it seems small

forestwombatI think it would work. If you are not a husky 6'5", the only real limitation is the headrest. I think the headrest is a little bit of a shortcoming because there is not a way to lock it in. If I lean back my head to hard (or in a weird direction) the headrest slides down to the lowest position. That said, the back of the chair is really high compared to many of the office chairs I've used or owned.
If you are on the larger side, the other shortcoming would be the armrests are a little narrow and also move with no way to lock them in. I wear a holster for a phone and an electronic device on both of my hips (36w) and sometimes one of them will get hooked when I sit. I imagine those with say 42w or larger might have some troubles with the chair.

forestwombatI'm 6'5" 210-220 lbs, 36" from floor to hip, jacket size 46 XL. I'm technically shaped skinny fat (permanent spare tire, 36-38" waist).
With the backrest slightly reclined and legs around 75 degrees (a must for me, 2x herniated discs in low back) and the headrest in the top stop, it is extremely comfortable.
If you sit upright, the base of the chair may not support the back of your legs properly (which shouldn't be different than a normal chair).
All being told, my home desk chair is now far superior to my work chair and only second to my rocking chair. A proper foot rest and monitor mount are my next steps. I was hesitant to buy because of my size, but now I feel like I will not have issues sitting for prolonged periods of time. Well worth the money for the build quality.
Anyone shorter than 6'5" or with longer legs likely won't be comfortable.
