I'm 6'2" and if I sit up straight in the chair the headrest hits me in the shoulder blades. If the headrest just had a few inches of vertical adjustment this would be a great chair. Instructions are good. PArts are well laid out easy assemble in 15 min. with allen key. Seems well made but I have to slouch to fit in the chair if I choose to leave the headrest on.
After 3 months of sitting in an uncomfortable chair working from home after quarantine I finally broke down and bought this chair. It’s significantly reduced my back pain and is very comfortable to sit in all day. I wish I would have purchased on day 1.
Very comfortable but headset needs to be modified (SUPER EASY)

This chair is amazingly comfortable and the lumbar is just right. I have sat in other chair where i felt like I was being stabbed in the back. This chair has enough adjustments to make is perfect for multiple heights. Only complaint is the default headrest. If you are above 5' 5 the headrest wont work for you out of the box. Luckily its SUPER easy to fix. Google "Hyken headrest mod" and you will find very detailed instructions with pictures. Its literally remove 2 screws flip a piece over and screw back together. This raises the headrest a few inches and is now PERFECT (im 6 feet tall). 100% would buy this chair again.
The best I can say is that it is very well ventilated. Now the seat is too narrow for me (pinches on the sides of my legs where it curves up. The head rest is a joke really need that thing on a work chair? Same thing for the arms not needed if you are really using it for work unless you absolutely can’t keep your balance. Luckily it was easy to loose those bad boys. Finally the castors the ones this chair came with are hard for carpeted floors. I’ve always had a pad under my chairs at my desk whether there was carpet or bare wood on the floor it saves wearing out both surfaces. So I had to order extra castors. Altogether I would have looked for another chair.
