The chair is hilariously easy to assemble. The left arm is quite wobbly compared to the right but all the fittings are tight. I sit on my ass all day and I’m glad it is on this chair. It’s super comfortable and I’m anticipating to be breathable in the summer because of the mesh. During the colder months when you’re not moving around you’re susceptible to getting cold. If you are a short person (under 5’3”) this chair may not work for you. Consider going in store to check it out before pulling the trigger. I’m 5’10” so I have zero issues.
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.
Got it as a birthday present for my brother who really wanted a messy chair with headrest. Assembly was really easy and the chair fits perfectly for all of us that tried it ranging from 5'4"-5'10". Great adjustment options leans way back if you want it to headrest fits in multiple ways. We'll see how it holds up but so far it's great!
Put this chair together less than 24 hours ago and have already requested a return. The lumbar support is terrible for someone who is 5'2". It has limited adjustability and sits in the wrong spot. The arm rests also have limited adjustability and can definitely go lower for someone my height.
