bought this to replace a defunct aeron chair. for the price difference there's little to argue against the replacement. i'm 6' 225 lbs. the hyken is a little narrow a little shallow but not uncomfortably so. the seat's front edge padding makes for comfortable sitting. the gas piston provides very firm seating (at least for now). the back is more than tall enough and the head rest is well-positioned. assembly was straightforward. backward tilt is a little loose but i use the tilt lock anyway.
I have been wanting to buy this office chair and when it became available in red I jumped at the opportunity on Black Friday. Love it! Comfortable and sturdy.
This is an extremely comfortable and sturdy desk chair. The only "con" is the difficulty of assembly. The directions are clear and the parts are appropriately marked; however the weight and necessary positioning of the parts makes it a real task worthy of some time on the floor as you manipulate the parts and Allen wrench them into position. Other than that it's a good buy and an excellent product.
