I will be returning the chair. It really is very uncomfortable to sit in unless you have it locked in to one position. If the chair is completely in upright position it puts your back in a forward leaning posture which also makes the headrest push your neck and forward even more.
I'vemade many ikea and other DIY furniture at home but this one didn't fit at all that some of the screws never went in fully and the driver wore out that I can't tighten it anymore. I'll at least need a new driver to attempt finishing the assembly but I honestly think this is a defective product.

My kid put this together and said it was easy to do. Comfortable chair with the nice feature that the chair arms come off easy for other tasks. Only had it for a week though so we'll see how long the chair lasts.
Great chair. revised from the one I bought in 2020. More compact & comfortable. My husband loves the one we bought in Nov. 2024. Also love the new color.
This is my second Hyken chair; the first lasting 6-7 years with daily work-from-home use. I find it comfortable for the full day. On both chairs I removed the head rest: at 5’ 10” it cannot be positioned high enough.
