Good chair for price

I like it for the price. Was mostly straight forward to follow the instructions. For me personally I’m 6 1 and when I lean the chair back the headrest aligns with my head. When sitting upright it hits between my neck and shoulders. I wish I could move the headrest up higher. The work around is tilting it up but it still bumps the shoulder part and need to lean forward a bit. Even with that I would still buy because if it continues to bother me I can remove the headrest.
Firm but comfy. GREAT back support for those of us that seem to be automatic slouchers at the desk. Love the ability to lock the lean back ability too. Neck rest fit perfectly on my frame.
I was a little leery of the reviews but this thing is great and comfy. It even has a nice max armrest height (31") which allows it to comfortably have proper elbow positioning on the lowest setting of my standing desk.
Highly recommend. I've been working from home but could not see spending $1200 on a new Aeron. Since 2001 every office I worked in had Aeron chairs. This Hyken chair is not as excellent as Aeron but is VERY GOOD. No complaints about the back which is very comfortable and the lumbar support fits me perfectly. The seat is not as good as Aeron. On an Aeron you don't feel like the mesh sinks in when you sit on it but this Hyken does feel like the mesh ever so slightly sinks when you sit. I weigh 130 lbs. The seat has a foam bolster under the mesh where the front curves downward and given that the mesh sinks in a bit the bolster feels prominent as the back of your thighs go from the (slightly) sunken mesh then up and over the bolster. But for the price I accept this and am 90% happy with the chair. After a few weeks I've stopped noticing the bolster and it doesn't bug me anymore. I'm 5' 4" and the head rest is perfect position for me. Taller ppl might want to leave off the headrest.
Relatively easy to assemble although the $15 service charge is well worth paying in retrospect. Nice chair. My only problem has been in adjusting tilt.
