FelledorI've just done a random check of some competitive gaming chairs and, as I suspected, the Vernazza has one of the tallest seatbacks in the biz. It is one or two inches taller than some of the "famous" names. I found one brand that was 1 cm taller, about 1/3 of an inch, so I think for a taller person, this will be ideal. Plus if you have any weight on your tall frame, it is rated to 360 lbs.
