I used to install office furniture and know a fair amount about the construction quality of office chairs. I've probably assembled several thousand of them everything from Global to Herman Miller to Hon. I've also built the cheap off-brand chairs that big-box office retailers sell. Usually the less expensive the chair the lower the quality. A good office chair from a top-shelf brand that matches this chair's design and characteristics would cost 2-3x what this chair does. Usually the difference in cost is due to poor quality plastic parts a poor quality pneumatic lift mechanism lower grade leather (if applicable) and junk casters that don't roll freely. After building this chair and testing it out I can say that it is a very well made chair with quality parts except for the arm rests. The pneumatics are strong and even and fully support even a large male. The seat is comfortable not over or under stuffed and sewn with heavy gauge stitching which won't fail quickly. The caster are adequate and while not quite as nice as those on a premium chair do roll easily and freely without getting stuck even on office carpet. The mechanical levers for seat adjustments are well placed and are easy to adjust. The machine quality of the metal parts is good and the whole chair assembly is firm and well built.
Comfortable office chair you can spend some time sitting in without having to worry about sticking to the material. It was extremely easy to assemble. Very happy with this purchase!
The chair is extremely comfortable. It has many different ways to adjust all areas (seat arm rests back headrest heighth) of the chair to fit your body properly and also various levels of adjustment. It's great for your posture. Mesh on both the back and seat allow for proper airflow so you do not get overly hot while seated in the chair.
The Hyken is great for the money. A comfortable mesh chair that doesn't break the budget. Quite comfortable provides lumbar support and a headrest. Pretty easy assembly.
I love this chair! I had back surgery 4 months ago and it has just the right amount of support for me. I am 5'4 and it fits me perfectly! I didn't think I would use the head rest but I do and it is nice to relax every once in a while. I am an office manager and spend a couple of hours a day sitting and this chair makes it much more bearable!! I may just purchase one for my home as well.
