Hylone Adjustable Drafting Chair - Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair for Standing Desks with Foot Ring & Flip-Up Arms - Perfect for Architects, Artists & Home Office Workspaces (Black)

I have been working from home for a year and just had knee replacement. Sitting in a regular chair with my feet on the floor with my knee bent all day is bad for my recovery. I decided since I don't have my ergo desk at home that I would raise my table and get a drafting chair so I can have my legs dangle some. This is what I want to share:CONS: 1)Putting this together was a nightmare 2)Directions are crummy 3)The chair pad does slide into the base and it does not explain how to get the chair cushion in. In fact I thought they sent a cushion that was to big. At one point I pulled the metal base where the cushion is to be installed away from the chair and was able to get the cushion in. Finally I thought, but the screw holes didn't line up or go in. I had to leave one side of the chair cushion out of the base to get the screws in on one side. Mind you the chair is upside down and awkward. The screws are cheap and actually wore down after several attempts to screw them in. Once I got the screws started on one side I literally had to pull the chair base away from the cushion again, like bending metal, to get it to slide in. I was not happy. This pushing and pulling took me forever. I finally got it in and the screws they provided would not work on this side either. I was not going to drive to the hardware store as someone else mentioned in their review. I went down to my garage and found two screws that were longer than the provided screws and it worked. The cushion to the chair was finally attached 4) When I went to drop the chair onto the center spring it seemed wobbly. There is no way to tighten this. I just sat in it to make sure it was pushed all the way down. No clicking or way to tell if I installed it correctly 5) The chair cushion goes flat when you sit on it and is uncomfortable after a period of time so I ordered a memory foam seat cushion to sit on 6) The arms are hard so I ordered pads for them 7) I wish the seat pad had an adjustment to move forward and backward like my ergo chair at work. This would give me more pad under my legs so they don't hang off the chair 7) I sat on the chair at the top height and the chair rocks side to side and feels a little unstable when sitting, like trying to scoot it in.8) The chair was together less than an hour as I was checking it out and while sitting on it I heard a snap and the screw blew out the back. I had to find another screw and screw it back in to hold it together 9) When at a lower position it sinks some when you sit on it as another person complained about already. I weigh 160 lbs.PROS- 1)It is a very handsome chair. I like the style 2) I like how the arms can be raised and when I turn my chair it won't hit my table 3)The back of the chair feels ergonomic with the chair fitting to the curve of your back 4)The release works well 5) I raised the chair all the way up and it went up fast. I have not tried the adjustment to rock it as I won't be doing that 6) I like that the height works well for my table and I can stand easily and sit back down. I use a foot rest on the floor for my feet so I can't tell you much about the foot bar. 7) I like that it rolls fine on my area rug under my computer when not in use.Overall I like the chair and will be making a few upgrades, arm pads and chair memory foam pad for butt comfort and I will be gentle with it in hopes that it does not fall apart in the future. It works for what I wanted it for. I have used it for just 3 days now and I am happier than with my other chair.Measurements: Floor to top of chair pad you sit on is 28", floor back of chair top 47 1/2"Great chair, we experienced some issues with the item but the seller was outstanding and super fast to react.SUPERIOR CUSTOMER SERVICE!Does what’s needed. Would purchase again.The chair arrived quickly. My boyfriend and I assembled it with ease. It looks great in my home office. I bought this chair because I needed the height and love the color. It's very comfortable on my back.I highly recommend this chair.I purchased for my shop to use at my front desk, which is counter height. Assembly took 5 minutes and that was because I put the chair base on backward. I believe this is why other reviewers talk about sliding off the front. The chair is spring loaded so that, once you’re seated, you can sit, or lean back. If the base is backward, then yes, there is a severe bias to the front and you slide very easily off and it’s uncomfortable to sit on. It must be mounted properly. So, make sure the handle is mounted on the right side. Also, it’s incredibly stable when I’m sitting in full recliner position as I’m unable to get it to tip over when leaning back fully. The foot ring is fitted with a rubber gasket and a very large, crank bolt. I am able to stand fully on the foot ring without it collapsing or pushing down. Its a very solid support. Finally, the casters are of decent quality. I had originally intended to purchase rollerblade wheels for it, as others I believe had done, but the casters are more than suitable for my needs, which is on short nap, right pile carpet. If using on thick nap carpet, you’d want a chair pad, as with any office chair. Other than that, it’s just an all around comfortable office chair with the extra height needed for counter height desks.comfortableThe seat doesn't raise up high enough to accommodate the standing height of the desk. I have to lower the standing desk about 4 inches to use this chair at it's max height and raise the desk back up to stand. I measured the height before I bought it. My bad I guess. Overall disappointed in the quality as the desk components were scuffed up and re-packaged. Not worth the money. I was not trying to cheap out on this purchase for my office use.Overall I rate this as a 4 star. Can a chair in this price range deserve 5 stars? If there are better chairs out there then you can not give this chair 5 stars. ok... enough with that.The chair went together very easy and the instructions were clear. If you can turn a wrench and read or at least look at pictures and understand basic instructions then you can put this together. I think it took me 10 minutes.Chair comfort. Better than most but by no means is it plush. If I sat on it for probably more than an hour then I don't think I would like the chair. I purchased it for a work environment to be used at a higher desk/bench/workstation. It is perfect for that and adjusts up and down perfectly for that.One thing I did NOT like and I am not dinging the chair for this but this is the 3rd larger item that I have received from AMAZON in the past few months that was previously opened and returned and then resold to me. Why am I always getting the rejects but having to pay full price? The box was all taped up and when I opened it I could tell everything had been removed before and a lot of the packaging was missing. The chair seemed fine but if it was in a "store" like this then I would never have bought it. I rarely return items to AMAZON but I might have to start doing it more often if I keep getting the rejects from them.
