most comfortable office chair I've owned

This chair is so comfortable I'm tempted to use it elsewhere in the house. Although we got off to a bumpy start all is well now. The first chair I bought was put together overnight. When I got it home it would not elevate. OK call the store manager and made arrangements for chair #2. Second chair was the floor model and had some stripped threads when I got home so the back didn't stay in the correct position. OK - call the store manager who said come for another new one. This one we both tried out in the store. So happy to say I've had it a few days now and just wish I had gotten it sooner. Store manager Tonya was outstanding in her customer service....guess that's why I shop there whenever possible. Thank you Tonya and staff and thank you Hyken for a wonderful chair design!
The home delivery took 4 working days which was not bad. The box was very large heavy and it did not come with handles. Inside there were 11-parts ready to be assembled. The heaviest parts were seat plate and gas lift. The instruction booklet was easy to follow (plenty of black & white illustrations). To assemble this chair took about 30-minutes for one person. For me the most difficult part was attaching seat plate. Two out of four screw grooving holes were not properly drilled down from the factory thus extra strength was required to tighten them. First impressions: Lumbar support adjustment arm & seat height were adequate and recline worked smoothly and quietly. But do not expect arm height to pivot inward to use the keyboard or outward to use the mouse (you would know if you have sat on one of those Herman Miller ® Loaded Aeron® Chairs). Were you looking for tension control? Do not bother - a mechanical feature is not available for this chair. Also the seat depth to support your thigh is not available either. Expect to hear squeak noises on-and-off. Since this ergonomic chair was made of decent quality durable materials (mostly flimsy plastics) 5-year limited warranty is good to have. Made in China.
This chair is great. Staples assembled it same day I purchased and it was ready for pick up. I love the various tweak-able features. The head rest provides great cervical support and the adjustable support is sweet too. I adjust it as my body requires to remain productive. Another great feature is the breathable mesh fabric no more getting up and down just to cool off during the day. Overall a really wonderful product. I have full intentions to purchase another two for my home office as well!
This chair was to replace an 8yr old office chair whose wheel housing had snapped due to rolling over a 1/4" threshold with the wheel not rolling Since I am currently not able to walk during post surgery I needed a chair to get around in my small home with tight corners.that I could also depend on to place my knee to stand up to reach stuff. This chair seemed to fit the bill HOWEVER after only three days of use the hydralic lift started to fail to maintain its full extenstion with me in iit and after a week it loses altitude over night even with no one sitting in it
I am very pleased with this chair. It is very comfortable. Even if the weather is hot I don't feel uncomfortable sitting in it at my for an hour or more writing working with the computer or just simply reading. That's the chair for e.
Honesly I ordered this chair a few weeks ago and finally made myself take time to put it together. It really didn't take that long so I should have done it sooner. It seems small once put together but works so well! The arm rests are exactly where I need them. It has a great lumbar support. And best of all this comfort comes in a small package. I can move the furniture around a bit in my small office since this new chair takes up so much less room than my previous manager chair. I like that it is smaller and more comfortable than my more expensive previous chair!
The Mesh chair gives great support to the neck and back. Perfect. The problem is that the mesh is not the best support for the buttocks. After sitting for a few hours the seat becomes uncomfortable. Rising from the chair after a few hours stiffness in the buttocks. This is one of the best chairs for the lower back and I just really love the ability to rock back. Comfortable distance of backward lean. Then to have the gentle support to the neck is an added bonus. Being able to adjust the arms and height is also a plus. Great chair if the seat were padded it would be perfect!
