HON Altern Ergonomic Office Chair with Headrest, 3.5 Inch Thick Foam Cushion Seat, Mid Back Mesh Desk Chair, Adjustable Lumbar Support, Arms, Synchro-Tilt Tension, Seat-Slide Controls, Black

This chair is a great value and the quality appears to be excellent. Very comfortable and functional. It was a Christmas gift and the recipient loves it. Easy assembly. The only thing I’d add is the box is not up to being shipped without being put into another box. It is very lightweight corrugate. It was open when it arrived here and not in good shape. Fortunately and somewhat amazingly no parts were missing. Amazon let me down on this one because since it was a gift I asked that it be placed in another carton which didn’t happen. It all turned out fine and it is not this seller’s fault. Great chair!

I bought this chair for my home office. I will be using it one or two days a week to work from home, and the rest of the time when I randomly work on various art projects or journaling...let’s say 18 to 32 hours per week usage for this chair. I wanted: something under $300, decent quality to last at least 5 years, decent comfort, and minimalistic appearance.I’ve had this chair for a week and I’m pretty happy with it.Price vs. Quality: From my research I’ve learned that you shouldn’t expect much from an office chair under $600. Probably true for someone working full time from home, but I will be using this chair much less than that, and an ergonomic chair doesn’t make sense to me if I’m not spending all day in it, and half of my usage will be doing artwork. I don’t need a headrest. This chair cost much less than most of the popular chairs on Amazon and (with one exception) I found no problems with the quality of the chair. It was easy to assemble, despite some vague instructions I had it together in 20 mins and was sitting on it. The cushion is thick and supportive. Most* of the components look durable. I’m familiar with HON and expected the quality of this chair to be a cut above a Staples chair. I was not disappointed with the quality. It seems solid and doesn’t wiggle or make noise when I move around on it.* Except for these bolts that are used to attach the mounting bracket to the seat. The slots on the bracket are very wide and the flange on these bolts is thin and barely covers the slot. These bolts see some stress so I decided to add some washers beneath them to provide more support and less chance of coming loose.Comfort /Appearance. The chair is pretty much completely black. It has a mid-sized back, and is very unobtrusive. It completely disappears in my room. Very happy about that. Regarding comfort, I have been fine so far in my first week with no problems with the seat cushion. Others have mentioned that the chair only leans back about 15 degrees, and it’s only the back-rest that tips, not the seat. Sadly, this is true. For long term use, or gaming, I think this would be a problem. So far for me, I’m still deciding. But I think it will be okay and will promote better posture. This chair has minimal adjustments: Seat Height (easily gets high enough for me, I’m 6 ft), Backrest Tilt: Look/Unlock, Forward-Backward seat adjustment (nice) and the tension on the back tilt. The seat back height can not be adjusted. There really isn’t any lumbar support. But the chair is pretty comfy.Overall, the chair met my expectations and I would recommend it for light usage as a task chair, especially if someone is looking for something that is minimalist and will not stand out in an office.

The chair was quick and simple to assemble and the cushion is thick -- however the arms are mounted directly to the seat with three screws each. This is a large concern because these arms WILL come loose and leaning on the rests or using them to adjust your seating puts strain on the screw holes, which will eventually strip out.The chair comes in at a respectable price but beware of the chair arms.

What I like about this chair: First it was easy to assemble, extra hardware was provided, along with the needed tools, second, I am 5'5" with a short torso, so I wanted a chair that I could raise high enough, so my desk didn't hit me at mid chest. Instead of sitting inside a bucket shaped seat, the cushion is soft and helps to elevate me above my desk. Third, the adjustable arm rest was something I looked for- to support my arms so they are slightly above my keyboard, minimizing fatigue. The chair has a smaller footprint then my old Staples chair, more compact-overall nicer looking.

It is comfortable, especially since you can slide the seat forward to cover you entire upper leg, and you can lock it from reclining providing good support. Great for typing since you can adjust the arm rests. My only issues are the following:- the foam seat smells a bit. I'm sure it will dissipate with time.- the wheels that come with it are basic and don't roll very well. I replaced them with my old chair which had skateboard wheels and it now glides smoothly over the floor.

There are not enough bad things I can say about this chair. It is truly the worst office chair I have ever sat in. There is no cushioning in the seat, there is absolutely no lumbar support. This thing was in my house less than 24 hours before UPS hauled it back to Amazon. I will never buy a Hon again.

Ordered this chair to replace a 25 year home office chair. Package delivered via UPS. It appeared that the package had been opened and resealed. No damage or missing parts and all components were still in their individual packaging. Straightforward assembly. Easy movement on mat. Good array of adjustment. Not as smooth as office HM chair, but a good value.Of note, STRONG chemical/plastic smell that dissipated after a few days.
