I'm a 5'8 220 lb. male and the headrest is too low at its highest setting (I'm only 5'8!!) Also I think if I lost 20-30 lbs. the rest of the chair would be JUST large enough but as I am it is really too narrow\small. Really this chair seems like it was designed for the average-to-petite sized woman but of course would work for a smaller man as well. I've never had a headrest so didn't think I'd care if I had to remove it but when I slouch way way down I find it is a very comfortable headrest so I do wish that I could use it when I lean back. I'm going to keep the chair for the kids to use only because I got a really good sale price - otherwise I'd take it back. The design of the chair is good. It looks nice I like the mesh and the lumbar support is very comfortable. Overall it seems like a really good value for having mesh tilt lumbar and headrest. I did stop into Staples after I bought this to look for a larger chair and found the Dexley was similar to the Hyken but large enough for anyone over 5'6 or 200 lbs. Unfortunately I thought the lumbar support was very uncomfortable. It's padded but rigid - it felt like the support is right on the spine. The Hyken lumbar is padded and flexes to avoid that problem.

One of our employees purchased this chair and loved it. So we all tried it out. Slowly but surely one by one of us purchased the chair for our desk. I love how it hugs the lower back and when I lean back it gently takes me there. My back says thank you for developing this chair!

I actually purchased another chair (La-Z-Boy) and took it back because it was TOO comfortable and got this chair. This chair follows you when you sit up to actually work at your desk. Love it!

Mesh Desk Chair

The chair is very sturdy and comfortable. The only downside is it is extremely heavy and difficult to move around.

Easy to assemble very comfortable and easy to adjust height and angle/lumbar settings. This was a great buy.
