Chair meets needs except for — the lumbar support is not great; need it to adjust further toward my back; I’m still having to use a pillow :/ And the wheels could be SO much better to allow for sisal rug rolling. Technologies are out there so that one needn’t be “forced” to purchased a horrendous off-gassing TOXIC plastic chair mat. I cannot get one b/c fumes as it were. Anyone know of a REASONABLY PRICED chair mat made of non-toxics?? Bamboo wood?? Again reasonably priced. (Glass is not preferable.) Thanks!
It took me a few days to get used to the chair but once I learned all the ergo settings I loved it. Makes working from home during COVID-19 a lot more pleasant. I am use to using a mesh chair at work so this one was perfect. I originally bought the Dexley chair (larger version of the Hyken) and as much as I wanted to like it I just could not make it work for me. I eventually found the Hyken in stock and what a difference those two chairs are. I am 5'9" and 175lbs and the Hyken was just right for me.
You may have sent me a defective chair. Ihave one in the country which I'm sitting in--and could not get the gear on the one in the city to work. I am returning in September to review it.
The chair is nice and generally comfortable. Staples delivered as expected and the product itself was easy to put together by myself. It looks nice (although no one sees it at my house but me.) My biggest complaint after 2 months or so of using it - the armrests! Armrests may not be a big deal but they are for me. When sitting in a chair for many hours a day ergonomics is important. I am 5'6" (and somewhat short bodied if that makes sense). The arm rests will not go further down (like the chair in my office). I have found that I have had a lot of tension built up in my shoulders/neck area possibly due to my arms/shoulders being at a higher level than they should. Otherwise it is a nice chair but I am taking at least one star off due to the arm rests not lowering any further which can impact the ergonomics for some of us. Short people beware!! Go in to a store and try it out if you can - I didn't have the luxury at the time.
For taller people this is the best chair very comfortable and good back and neck support. For shorter people back and neck support does not work for them. It is in the wrong place for comfort.
