What’s not so great about Hon HVL721 mesh task chair

The armrests, though fairly comfortable, cannot be properly adjusted to suit the reclining position of the chair.

The padding on the armrests is also a bit stiff unlike the foam with fabric over like traditional chairs. Also, the padding is in the center, with outer edges being hard plastic that can get a bit uncomfortable especially around the elbows.

Hon HVL 721 does not have an adjustable headrest. The back of the seat is too high (20 inches from the floor at its lowest setting) and too firm for a lot of customers.

They find the butt going numb/feeling uncomfortable due to the firm seat cushion.

This chair is not for people of short stature. The legs won’t touch the floor even at the seat’s lowest setting.

The armrests maximum height does not go high enough for good shoulder support. But they are high enough for the chair not to fit under the desk for many users.

Some users have complained of poor after-sale customer service. This is frequently the case when the product is made from china unless they have a tie-up here in the US.

Make sure to ask for customer care service details while purchasing the chair. The warranty card states to contact the dealer from which the chair was purchased.
