Big & Tall

Purpose-built for generously proportioned users — engineered for structural integrity, durability, and comfort well beyond standard seating.

Built for Real Scale
This isn’t a standard chair with a bigger sticker.
Every dimension, from the 32″ six-leg base to the 750 lb-rated cylinder, was sized up from the ground for generously proportioned users — not a standard chair with reinforced parts bolted on.

- Infinite seat-angle and back-angle adjustment, tilt-lock control

- Backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty
2526 vs. 2527
Same platform, two back heights.
2526 — Extended Back
Extra-wide back with an adjustable-height headrest for full head and shoulder support. The pick for users who want the most upper-back coverage available.
2527 — Medium Back
The same heavy-duty platform in a lower-profile back, no headrest. Same weight rating, same construction, a more compact silhouette.
Both models also available as 2526LM / 2527LM, upholstered in leather or mock leather with additional stitching detail.
Construction & Durability
Built from steel, not compromise.
Every component was engineered and tested beyond normal seating standards so a larger user can count on its structural integrity, durability, and safety.
- Solid steel loop-style arms, vinyl-dipped for comfort, width-adjustable up to 1.5″ per side (25¼″–28¼″ between arms)
- Unique six-legged welded steel spider base, 32″ diameter — two legs are always positioned behind the user
- Large 3″ casters, each rated for 225 lb
- Steel back support upright, 3″ wide and ¼″ thick
- Standard Ultracell high-density, highly resilient foam for lasting comfort and durability
- Optional Ballistic Nylon outer back for extra impact protection in high-activity areas
- Contoured seat with extra padding and sewn seat borders
- Tested at an ISO 17025-certified in-house facility to exceed ANSI/BIFMA standards
Fabric & Trim
Two-tone by design, not by accident.
Robust’s two-tone fabric combination is standard — a technique that makes the chair read visually smaller than a solid color would. Trims along the seat and back edges are always in a durable black fabric; the main upholstery is your choice of pattern and color. For 24-hour settings and high-traffic areas, we recommend a fabric rated above 100,000 double-rubs on the Wyzenbeek durability test. Leather or mock leather is available as an upgrade (2526LM / 2527LM), with additional stitching detail.
