I've been using the Hyken chair for around a year now and it has been the best chair I've ever owned. COMFORT - I'm a 5' 8" 165lb male and this chair fits and holds me well. If you are taller the headrest will be an issue for you; I just snuck under the point where it would poke me in the shoulders. I would highly recommend the chair as a comfortable option for everyday use. I generally use the chair for at least 8 hours a day 5 days a week; sometimes extending that time with evening gaming sessions. Even at the comfort level it provides I would still recommend stretching every hour or two to avoid cramps. The armrests have firm padding that supports the arms well but I removed them after a few months to make playing guitar easier while seated. The ability to lock and unlock the chair lean is a nice feature and I've found myself just reclining in the furthest notch to relax at times. DURABILITY - After 1 year of use all components are still fully functional. That said the thick foam strip at the front of the seat does have a tear in it from where it comes into contact with the structure of the seat while under compression; however this does not affect comfort or usability and is not noticeable unless you look at the chair from underneath. The armrests also developed a slight break in the shell at the rear from putting pressure on them when adjusting myself in the seat. QUALITY/VALUE - I would say the build quality of this chair matches the price you pay for it. I have a feeling this chair will last me at least a few more years. I've never owned a mesh chair before this so I'm not positive about the material's long-term durability. The only part that doesn't seem very solid is the back lumbar support. It's made to slide up and down but always seems to get pushed down to the lowest setting. This isn't a huge deal but I would like to see this made more solid in future builds. CONCLUSION - I'd highly recommend this chair for everyday use especially if you work a desk job. Your comfort and health are important and this chair definitely helps support those aspects.

Terrible chair. It makes noise every time you move or recline on it like it's going to break but it is comfortable.

I recently purchased this chair for my home office as I now do all work from home. I am a court reporter so I know a lot about chairs and how they affect comfort throughout a long day. I couldn't be happier with my choice. The chair was very easy to assemble so easy that I did it myself which never happens. Love the head rest and everything about it. And the price was right which is always nice. 5 stars here.
