Great Chair

It took me a few days to get used to the chair but once I learned all the ergo settings I loved it. Makes working from home during COVID-19 a lot more pleasant. I am use to using a mesh chair at work so this one was perfect. I originally bought the Dexley chair (larger version of the Hyken) and as much as I wanted to like it I just could not make it work for me. I eventually found the Hyken in stock and what a difference those two chairs are. I am 5'9" and 175lbs and the Hyken was just right for me.
The chair is nice and generally comfortable. Staples delivered as expected and the product itself was easy to put together by myself. It looks nice (although no one sees it at my house but me.) My biggest complaint after 2 months or so of using it - the armrests! Armrests may not be a big deal but they are for me. When sitting in a chair for many hours a day ergonomics is important. I am 5'6" (and somewhat short bodied if that makes sense). The arm rests will not go further down (like the chair in my office). I have found that I have had a lot of tension built up in my shoulders/neck area possibly due to my arms/shoulders being at a higher level than they should. Otherwise it is a nice chair but I am taking at least one star off due to the arm rests not lowering any further which can impact the ergonomics for some of us. Short people beware!! Go in to a store and try it out if you can - I didn't have the luxury at the time.
For taller people this is the best chair very comfortable and good back and neck support. For shorter people back and neck support does not work for them. It is in the wrong place for comfort.
You may have sent me a defective chair. Ihave one in the country which I'm sitting in--and could not get the gear on the one in the city to work. I am returning in September to review it.
It's good alternative to PU leather... Anyone who's sat in a PU leather chair for 8+ hrs or even just 2-3 hrs on a hot day knows how uncomfortable a PU leather chair can be. Yes gaming chairs are comfy but I needed "breathing room"!. The head rest is in the right spot for me & I'm 5'10". I do wish this chair came with the arms able to adjust out for a wider seat but otherwise it fits fine & I am under the recommended weight limit so I guess all is well. I would recommend this chair & I've already shared my recommendation to my Facebook friends comparing it to my old FicMax gaming chair 👍
