Make Your Space Work with HON

This chair might be a little pricey, but it's oh so worth it! This is the most comfortable desk chair I've ever experienced. Great back support. I love that it swivels and rocks a little for my restless self. Easy to assemble. Easy to adjust. Feels strong and sturdy.

I got it assembled in maybe 10 minutes. I followed the assembly video and it was perfect. Many comments said the paper instructions were bad, so I didn’t even look at them. A couple reviews said you need to buy wheels with this chair, which confused me a bit but it does come with wheels. I like how easy the chair is to adjust. For reference I’m 6’3” and slender. The lumbar support at the highest setting is perfect. The armrests can be easily adjusted as well, width and height. I find the narrowest setting fits most naturally, but they can go pretty wide as well. It has many different options for armrest height, so it was easy to fine tune. After adjusting to fit me, this chair is comfortable and supportive. It feels sturdy, but I cannot yet speak to its durability. Each piece of the chair seems solid and they lock together in simple ways without any apparent weak points. I hope to get a few good years out of it, and more would be great. Over 1 year later: still going strong. With college and a remote work, I have spent many hours sitting in this chair. You can't tell from looking at it and it's still sturdy and supportive.

For context - I am 6'4" and 230 lbs and been using the chair almost daily for 6 months now. I bought a few chairs and researched a lot before landing on this chair. Overall, I am a fan of this chair and it checked all the boxes for me for a sub $500 chair. It will not compete against the $800++ chairs that are more for corporate wear and tear. Assembly: Straight forward and easy. No issues with any alignment or things not fitting. I had it assembled in under 30 mins. Comfort: The chair is comfortable ONCE you break it in. I found the chair a bit uncomfortable the first few weeks and almost returned it but kept it as I felt it would break in. After that, this chair has been comfortable with me using it 6++ hours a day. No issues with handling my weight. Ergonomics: The height and lumbar support works well. No issues but my one challenge is that the arm rests need to a little lower. I have longer arms and my arms/elbows sometimes rest on the arm rests and they are not padded well enough for that. It can cause pain so I have learned to adapt/adjust to that. I wish they could be lowered a bit more so my elbows did not hit them. Overall, I strongly recommend this char and over 6 months - I have had no issues with quality, comfort or challenges. Happy with the purchase. Buy with confidence!

I've been using a gaming chair in my home office for years. While it was very comfortable it always felt cheap. It creaked and multiple parts broke, including the stem for the gas piston. While the company did honor their warranty it still meant I spent many days without a comfortable office chair. Finally my dog got his collar stuck on the recline handle and broke it out of warranty. This time I decided to go the office chair route. This was one of the few on my short list and it had 1 day shipping. 21 hours after I ordered it had arrived. Box was in good shape. Putting this chair together was breeze. This chair is very adjustable so I spent some time adjusting everything to my liking. Ergonomically everything fits just right. However, and I suspected this from the pictures, the padding in the seat is quite stiff upon arrival. That meant this chair was uncomfortable.. at first. Now that I've had it over a week, and added the HON headrest, the comfort level is rising. I think over time as the foam becomes less stiff the level of comfort will continue to go up. tl;dr: Upon arrival I probably would have only given this chair 3 stars but it has increased to a 4 after a week of breaking it in. Hopefully my prediction is correct and I can increase it to 5 as time goes by. I'll update if/when it becomes relevant. Update: After a month, the padding has been thoroughly broken in and my sitting experience is an enjoyable one. Fifth star earned!

TL:DR Feels like I got sold a used chair pretending to be a good deal. Upon discovering this enticing offer for an $846 office chair at a 53% discount, I eagerly seized the opportunity. Intriguingly, the option to avail it through Amazon with a zero-percent loan for 5 months, requiring only a $106 as the first down payment, added to its allure. Unpacking the chair, I marveled at its design, especially noting the substantial weight of the seat, indicative of a high-quality build. However, the assembly process was marred by a manual with minimal guidance and diagrams that did not align with my specific chair, raising uncertainty about a potential mix-up. Furthermore, the adjustable seat depth mechanism seems to be visibly bent level. While the concept of a simplified assembly with only three bolts seemed promising, the provided Allen wrench proved inadequate for two of them, necessitating a tedious workaround. Aesthetic concerns surfaced as well; the fabric failed to adequately cover the particleboard beneath, coupled with a protruding staple. Despite its comfort, the realization that such details marred a chair priced at $864 prompted contemplation on its overall value. Regrettably, this initial experience has cast doubt on the anticipated quality and longevity of the product. Considering the issues encountered, the prospect of exploring alternative options seems prudent, as this instance leaves a distinct impression of unprofessionalism from the company. It feels like I got a used chair sold as new but half off hoping people wouldn’t notice.

Highly adjustable, well made, heavy-duty executive chair with fast 15-minute assembly. Has excellent range of height for vertically challenged staff to big folk - including 5'1" to tall to military build 6'5". Very comfortable, ergonomic support for ultra-long work days. Well worth the extra investment.

The chair is okay. It's neat having all these adjustments. I like the arm rests well enough. The seat cushion in comfortable, but I find the fabric on both the cushion and the seat back to be rough. It's not much of an issue through clothes, but on bare skin it can be uncomfortable. For the recline/tilt it takes a bit of effort to push it back, even with the tension set to the lowest. It's really awkward trying to reach the lock control while reclining. It has 2 points where it can be locked in a reclined position, in addition to the upright. The max recline is too far back, I think it needs a headrest to be usable. I haven't been able to figure out a comfortable position for the lumbar support. You can adjust the height, but not the pressure/how far it sticks out, or maybe raising it makes it protrude more? Sometimes when I walk the seat forwards the base/wheels nips at my heels. It's drawn blood a few times in the 1.5 months I've had it. The bottom edges of the base have sharp plastic, and then the wheel is turned inward that sharp part is exposed.

Overall this is a good chair, not a good value. The pros: What sets it apart from other chairs is one unique feature: the seat slides forward allowing your back to be supported. The cushion is firm. The arms adjust vertically. Overall, comfortable. The cons: this chair is small ! The cushion is narrow. When I unpacked it, I was surprised. It’s 10% smaller than your average office chair. I have a medium frame so I fit ok, like in a small sports car. This is a good chair for a teenager. If you are over 5’ 9” or have a medium+ frame, buy the big and tall version. Value: from a value perspective , this is not a $400 chair. There is nothing I could see in its construction that was better than my old $150 Costco chair, which had more adjustments than this one. And the wheels are inexcusably cheap. I replaced them with aftermarket rollers. This chair would be worth it at $250.
