Comfortable Chair...If You Modify the Headset and Permanently Damage the Mesh
on July 14, 2020
Posted by: V.L.
I purchased this chair for my home office. I sought a chair with mesh for back support and for my bottom too. The head rest was a plus. However once I got the chair I realized that the headrest even at its highest settings was too low for me and was digging into my shoulders. Reading the reviews for this chair I am not alone. There are unofficial hacks you can do to adjust the headset; however this will permanently damage the mesh.
The head piece is a little aggressive in the sense that the piece doesn’t let your head tilt back when the chair is fully upright. However before this I had a leather chair which cooked any body part that was in contact with. I do not have this problem with this one although it’s way harder than the leather chain. It’s worth it.
This is my second Hyken chair and it’s great. I’ve had the first one for 3 years and still use it daily. Comfortable for long gaming sessions and even after all of the use it gets the old chair still feels like the new chair. The only complaint I have is that the armrests are quite hard but at least they do not break down over time like padded arms on other chairs.
This is THE BEST MOST COMFORTABLE CHAIR EVER!! A few years ago I used to have lower back pain from the old standard office chair I sat in for 8 hours a day. Then my nice boss suggested I get a new one and I picked this one after trying it out in the store. Instantly I noticed a difference! No more back pain-it's unbelievable. Then everyone else in the office ordered the same one and they all love it too! Recently I bought this for my home to be prepared in case we are required to work from home. I highly recommend it. Great job Staples!
It is well built and comfortable. Assembly is easy. I especially enjoy the slight rocking motion of the back. The only shortcoming for me is that it is a bit too heavy. And I wish the headrest can be more adjustable.
