Very comfortable!

I read reviews saying that this chair can be uncomfortable well for me it works fine. My body is a little on the fat side so that debunks assumptions that I may be a skinny person. One of my favorite features is the headrest (I'm 5"7')
I had been on the lookout for a new chair for my desk at home for quite awhile. I'm a student and often spend hours working at my desk and life is too short to use an uncomfortable chair! I'm also on a limited budget and a proud bargain-shopper who hunts deals like nobody's business. So when Staples had their big chair sale I went to THREE DIFFERENT STORES and sat in every chair at each store. I wanted a chair that reclined had adjustable seat height and adjustable-height armrests so I could tuck them into the area above the pull-out keyboard tray. The Hyken chair is perfect. I didn't think I'd use the headrest but I actually really like it! My head really becomes heavy on my neck at the end of the day! I like that it's mesh as that stays much cooler than leather does during the hot summers. It's super-comfortable and perfect for my needs. :)
I really wish they would give you the option of replacing the head rest with a taller one like the one on the Techni Mobili Executive Chair other than that it is very comfortable.
I've had this chair almost a year now and sit in it anywhere from 6 hours a day up to 12 and it still looks as good as when I took it out of the box. I don't know if this would work for a very short person but I'm 5' 7" and it's perfect for me. It did take several hours to put together but I'm 69 years old and was able to do it myself. Love the shape of the seat; I can either slouch or sit up straight comfortably. And when I need a break I can lean back and the neck rest fits my head perfectly. I occasionally nod off while at my desk and have had no ill effects from sleeping in this chair nor have I fallen out of it as I have from other office chairs I've had. Normally I don't give 5-star ratings but in my opinion this chair deserves it.
The only real cons to this chair are the fact the seat portion is smaller than many other models and the reclining function allows the chair to go to far back. Other than that it is very comfortable easy to assemble and has quality parts (especially the casters).
