Comparable to Herman Miller Aeron for a lot less!

I've had this chair for a week now and I've probably put close to 50 hrs in it (I work from home and game a lot). When I used to work in the office I sat in a Herman Miller Aeron for 12 hours a day and this chair is just as comfortable and ergonomic as that one. Actually it's more comfortable because it has a headrest. I took a gamble on this one because I wasn't willing to pony up for the high cost of the Aeron and it's a gamble that's paid off. I highly recommend this chair to anyone who spends a lot of time in front of their computer. Be aware of your body though. This would not be a great chair for a big and tall kind of guy or gal.
I bought this chair to replace a chair that had served much longer than it should. The chair was in stock so there was no waiting for delivery. Assembly took about twenty minutes. I find the chair to be all that it is advertised to be. The only down side I have found is that my dog does not like the mesh seat. She would rather have a cloth cushion. When her computer skills improve I will consider getting her a different chair.
This chair is the most comfortable chair not just when you first sit in it but all day long. With all the adjustments the whole chair really is contoured to the body and supports both the lower and upper back. The neck rest is great for long days at the desk. If there was one feature that would make it even more adaptable is to have arm rests that pivoted (rotate inward and outward) as well as adjustable height. Then this would have made the chair perfect.
The angle of the seat is not adjustable independently. The front is either too high and cuts of the circulation in your legs it leans to far forward making you feel like you are about to roll out of the chair. No good in between. Head rest adjustment is not that flexible. Had to take it off because I could not get it to the right height for a comfortable fit.
We are happy campers in this office. We bought three Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chairs and LOVE them. Took two people and some time to assemble but it was well worth the work. I would highly recommend.
