When I sat in the chair in the showroom it felt perfect. Setting up one at home was not difficult but you do have to pay attention. I put the seat in backwards! My fault it is labeled for front and back I just overlooked them. It is very adjustable so give your self time to try out several combinations until you get the right one. Once I got the chair in front of my work at home desk it took a few adjustments over about two days to get everything just perfect. But perfect it is. Recommend this chair very highly.
The chair is very comfortable and I am pleased with the purchase. I would recommend this chair to others. In fact this chair is the third one we have in the house. Of minor note there were certain bolts which were difficult to attach using the enclosed allen wrench due to the location of the bolts. While most bolts could be attached using the short end of the wrench some had to be attached using the long end. It was harder to grip the wrench for those bolts. Also the metal plates used to attached the arm rests to the base do not lie flush with the base plate even when fully screwed in. Perhaps the pre-drilled screw holes were slightly off. The arm rests are secure nevertheless.
Overall it was a good value compared to comparable chairs. The cushion is great. Easy to put together. Functions work nicely. However the wheels do not turn easily. In addition the headrest does not adjust up / down. Therefore if you’re taller than 5’8” or so the headrest may get in the way.
I've been using a fancy brand-name desk chair for years and if I have to sit for any length of time my back suffers no matter how I adjust it. The reviews on this Hyken mesh task chair convinced me to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! It's very comfortable and has a completely neutral impact on my back - meaning even after a full day of work I barely feel like I've been sitting. It looks great and is easy to adjust. My only quibble is with the height of the arms. Even though they are adjustable the lowest setting is barely the right height for me - almost too high - and I'm 5'9". They might be too high for a shorter person. Overall I'm very happy with this addition to my work space.
Needed a chair (and desk) quickly as educating moved back to online-only. Sitting on a couch all day was doing me no favors. The last 4 weeks with the Hyken have been great. Recommended.
