This chair is exactly what I need for office work at home. My son had the same chair for six years and just loved it. It is easy to put together (according to my son) and I could leave the arms off due to limited spacing. It is comfortable and supports me very well. I'm pleased to have purchased this item.
I am a 6'0 tall woman with a larger build and I just love this chair. With degenerative disc disease and back surgeries sitting for loong periods of time is so painful. This chair has made a world of difference! It supports in all the right places and gives where is necessary. The surface space is plentiful for my rump and also for my long torso. The tilt feature is perfect when I need a power nap. I would say that the feel is similar to sitting on an exercise ball. Worth every penny!
I purchased the Hyken because I have read online that it's pretty much the best chair you can get for under $250. When I got home and put the chair together it was great except for one thing: it was slightly tilted/crooked. It was to the point where my head was on the very left side of the headrest when I was sitting straight up. I was going to return the chair today to get another one without the tilt but both of the display models that I saw had the same issue and I didn't wanna gamble away my time on another boxed model. Everything else about the chair is perfect but I'm not gonna use a chair for 6-7 years constantly angry about how it's crooked.
So I have had this chair for over 6 months. I love some many of its features (adjustable armrests reclining mesh construction). But honestly I have become increasingly irritated that I cannot adequately adjust the neck support for a comfortable position. I am 5"10" not tall by any means. Even at its highest position the neck support still hits my torso at the top of the back. There is literally no chance for the support of the neck over prolonged sitting. Seems there should better thought put into this design feature.
I love this chair so much that I bought a second one for my home office. I have back problems and this chair is Very comfortable. I bought a cheaper one and I had to returned it because it was the so uncomfortable. This chair is money well spent.
The chair itself is great and super comfortable to use once you get the right setting. However after about 3 weeks the headrest mount broke on moving its position. Isn't as sturdy as I thought but still awesome for the price.
