HON Ignition 2.0
Exact average 70.0 · 2 printed, 3 estimated · printed scores only: 62
Image: HONHON's mid-priced chair is easy to assemble and very adjustable for the money. Critics are split on comfort: three buying guides recommend it, but Tom's Guide, Forbes and TechGearLab found the lower-back support too weak for all-day sitting.

A budget-friendly chair with great adjustability but only middle-of-the-road comfort, mainly because of a thin plastic lumbar support.

An affordable, easy-to-assemble ergonomic chair with adjustable lumbar and seat depth that the reviewer calls a solid choice.
Read Tom's Guide review - 83est.CNET
Named the best mid-priced chair after hands-on use: well built and very adjustable, though the lumbar sits too low for taller people and the mesh look is office-like.

In an 18-chair test the chair rated well for adjustability but had weak lumbar support, an uncomfortable backrest and a poor recline, so it was held back.
