HON Ignition 2.0 Ergonomic Office Chair, Lumbar Support, Desk Chair, Black

I've spent 4 years trying to find an office chair that I thought was comfortable. This one wins. It is easy to put together and has several different adjustments to make my 8 hour work day easier. A great buy.

This chair is great! Its so easy to put together, pretty much 3 screws and then you plug everything together. I have the advance, so the additional seat space you can buy with the adjustment is well worth the extra cost. The Mesh back is very comfortable and offers great support including the adjustable lumbar support. I don't feel its made out of a cheap material and can definitely withstand quite some weight as I'm 6'6" and 360lbs. The casters roll just fine on hard surfaces like tile, vinyl, or hardwood.

18 Month edit - The seat cushion is completely dead. It's like sitting on a folded towel on top of a metal chair. I am sad. Otherwise I ended up really liking this chair. But, obviously it's not a savings if I have to buy a new one every year and a half. I guess I'll investigate whether they sell replacement cushions. Three stars because yes it is comfortable, but not amazing. Overall impression - very, very good for the price. Huge negative - the company tried to force me to pay for my own return. I fought and they relented, but such a pain. I had a $250 staples office chair for five years and wanted to upgrade, but I also hated the idea of paying $500+ (Or $1000+) for a chair. At work I have a Herman Miller aeron, so my butt experiences both the $250 and the $1200+. I read and watched a ton of reviews. This chair is universally accepted as the best in the price point. I convinced myself that this chair would be the $500+ experience, but for $300. I was wrong. It IS a really nice chair. Absolutely. Comfortable seat. Good adjustments. Lean-back is comfortable and not too weak or too strong. But it’s still in that $250-300 chair category so you have predictable weak points. The seat cushion is kinda weird and for me too short (and I’m 5’6”). I got the “lean back” option, so I had to decline the “seat move” option. I felt like I was sitting forward on the edge of the chair. Like a barstool. The chair makes creaking plastic noises when you move. But, the castors are VERY smooth and much better than my old $250 chair. Conclusion - if you like a $250 chair, this is probably the best in the $250-300 price point. If you’re looking to upgrade from that price point, you’ll be disappointed. * editing my own review - I bought a Herman Miller while I waited to return this HON, and I’m returning the HM and keeping the HON. I’ve grown to really like the high seating position!

My chair just arrived - color "Pear" which is a bright lime green. So far the chair seems like it will live up to expectations. When I purchased it the AI couldn't answer whether or not it could be build without the arms. It can. I have a small space so this option is important to me - thought there may be some others who would like to know. On first impressions I'm very pleased with this chair.

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.

Relatively firm upholstered seatwith mesh back. I got the version with adjustments allow sliding the seat forward and back as desired and adjusting the tension of the back spring. Seems well made and sturdy. Assembled easily even though the directions switched between two different chair models as I went through the process.

I had a HON Ignition chair in the office years ago and bought this thinking it would be the same…it is not. The build quality has drastically lowered compared to that model. The original version I used felt like a very substantial commercial office chair, this feels like what you’d buy at a big box store, save for the mechanism that does seem to be fairly robust compared to the big box. The arms on the original had more adjustments, specifically this one allows the entire arm to slide out an inch or two but does not allow for any adjustment at the top of the arms. They will not push out further at the top and they do not swivel. While this does tilt it does not in the sense that the entire seat tips back from what I could see. The back will lean and the seat does move but it’s more similar to what a recliner would do and not the typical office chair tilt. The ability to lock in that recline is very nice though and will be great for some. One of the best features is the ability to slide the back away from the seat. That adjustment alone adds quite a bit of comfort. The rounded front edge of the seat is also nice. If you consider yourself in the big and tall category, especially the wide, you’ll want the bigger version of this chair or a different one entirely. There isn’t a lot of adjustment so make sure you pay attention to the measurements. Height has a little more adjustment that can help. I’ve used a lot of HON chairs over the years in the office. I’ve now bought two of them in the last year and been completely disappointed with the overall quality and build compared to what I’ve used in the office. Maybe these are cheaper retail versions and those commercial versions are still out there, but I’m not finding them. The previous HON kept breaking and this one is going back. I’m glad I took pictures while it was coming out of the box to help put it back in. With all that said I wouldn’t recommend it at over $400. The quality is really of something half of that price. I saw those other reviews mention that and ignored them…they were right. It could be a good chair for someone but its not what I expected and doesn't have the features I’m looking for.

I used to hear and think HON furniture to be the benchmark in office furniture. I purchased this chair in 2021 and it was really nice. However by 2023 both armrest cushions had torn and fallen off, and today Aug 2026 I sat in the chair and heard an audible snap from underneath, where apparantly the tilt mechanism had broke (it no longer works) and caused me to fall over backwards injuring myself. Never had these issues with my previous chair, which lasted me nearly 15 years. I only wish I could remember the manufacturer of that chair so I could go find another. Anywho, given the few years where it was in good shape, it was very comfortable this fact saved it from a 1 star rating.

La esponja del asiento se empezó a salir por qué las costuras del tapizado se rompieron. La silla no tuvo ningún uso rudo. Muy mala calidad para el precio.

This was probably the worst install experience I’ve ever had with a chair. Typically, installing the wheels are the finishing touch and satisfying ending to the chair install but this was not the case. Not only did the wheels did forever to get pushed in, all of the wheels Fitment was not perfect. Every single one of these wheels are off by .mm from one another . Other cheap chairs I have used in the past just push click done, this one I had to use full force/nudging/twisting everything I’m so disappointed considering this was over $7xx dollars.

One of the most terrible chair that you can get. Gave me back pain within 2 hours. Lombar support is a simple plastic plate. Way to expensive for what it is.
