Hyken Mesh chair

Very nice chair but gave 3/5 stars as I am still unsure if I actually like it. At first it feels comfortable but I have needed to make a lot of adjustments over the past few weeks in order to find a comfortable position. After sitting for several hours my back feels sore not sure if I am just getting used to sitting with a better posture. Will give it some more time. Also the chair was a bit more difficult to put together than I anticipated.
I've had this desk chair for two weeks so far and am very satisfied (compared to previously using a kitchen chair) while working from home during covid. I test drove the desk chairs with a mesh seat bottom and back at Staples and this one felt the best. The only concern (not enough to bump down to 4 stars) is that when I sit fully back into the chair the head/neck rest (rotated all the way up) hits the top of my shoulders/base of my neck. I'm 5'-10". So the only improvement i would suggest would be to add more vertical adjustment in the head/neck rest.
Very easy to install 2 people make it easy 1 person can be difficult. I am 275lb woman and I was a little weary buying this chair as a plus size person. I felt that this chair supports my weight very well and I feel very comfortable in it. The headrest is my favorite piece I get a lot of neck and back pain from my old chair. This new chair supports my neck and back and allows me to continue working while getting this support. I wasn't too thrilled on the price but it's better than paying $1200 for an HM chair!
