@Sooner I just realized you wrote you needed a chair that is supportive to a tall AND a short person.  I don't know that this is feasible.  Even if you find one that can be adjusted to fit both, which I think is unlikely, all that adjusting will increase the likelihood of breakage.  

As a short person, I find that chairs for tall people if used by short people will definitely require a foot rest, but will still have problems with the shape of the back, the shape of the seat and the location of the arm rests, which I assume you want.  I went shopping for chairs for my staff and saw many, and we ended up allowing staff to choose among 3 sizes, because if working, they will spend a lot of time on that chair.

@NYCLatinaMe THANKS for the input!  One thing that helps is I have very long legs.  And I made out ok for 40 years with good generic office chairs, so there's something out there that will work for both.   Just so many choices today. 

I will say he couldn't fit in older model Corvettes and some small and mid sized SUV's becuase of his height.  Pretty funny when one he couldn't get the door closed.

At work I got to choose chairs and had an old fighter pilot working for me who would "liberate" furniture from around the building if I wanted something new and say "Never ask me that" when I inquired about where in the building it came from!   Glad it was a big building. . .
