What We Like

The Center-Tilt has a tension control.
It is backed by the HON Limited 5-Year Warranty.

Watch Out For

Its 3.4 owner rating, across 91 reviews, is the lowest of any published home-office chair.
Only two published home-office chairs state a lower capacity than this one.

At a Glance

Padded loop arms come with a 5-year warranty on this basyx by HON executive chair.

Who This Chair Is For

Shoppers after the high-back executive look the title describes.
Sitters who want a tilt tension control.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

Shoppers who put owner ratings first, since the 3.4 average is the lowest among published home-office chairs.
Anyone who wants to move the headrest, since the listing names one but does not state a height or angle control.
