Comfortable and Easy to Assemble
on October 22, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I've had this chair for two weeks and I'm very happy with it. The assembly instructions were easy to understand and the only tool you need to assemble the chair is the Allen wrench that's included. All of my previous office chairs had a low back and no headrest so I planned on leaving the headrest off of this chair when I assembled it. It's attached with two Allen head screws so if you leave it off the chair looks fine without it. However after reclining in the chair a couple of times to relax I found that the headrest allowed me to relax my neck muscles so I've decided to leave the headrest on. You'll find that there's a big knob under the chair. When you turn the knob at the store you won't notice any obvious adjustment and may wonder what it's doing. So I thought it was a good idea to let you know what it does now. By the way just so you're aware the assembly instructions that come with the chair go into detail about all of the adjustments. The knob adjusts the tension of the spring that allows the back of the chair to tilt backwards. Depending on how tight or loose you make the spring by turning the knob left or right will determine how much weight from your body is needed for the back of the chair to tilt back to varying degrees. You can lock the chair in an upright or a reclined position if you want to as well. I like to leave the back unlocked so I can lean back a little bit while working sometimes. If I want to recline to relax for a minute; I just lean back more and the chair will tilt back more. The only negative thing I can say about this chair is the location of that knob. However once you adjust the tension of the back of the chair with it you won't have to adjust it again. Some of the other chairs I looked at had this adjustment within reach when you sat in the chair. However those chairs weren't as comfortable as the Hyken. The adjustments that are important to me are the height of the chair and the height of the arms. Those adjustments are within easy reach while I'm sitting in this chair. My advice is to take your time when you're looking for a new chair. Try out several of them in the store and make sure you use the adjustment levers to make the chair as comfortable as possible for you. It took me about an hour trying different chairs before I decided to purchase this one and I'm very happy with it.

Comfy chair

This chair was similar to one I used to have at my office. When I began working from home I used an older and uncomfortable chair. I usually sit for 8-12 hours a day and found this one to be perfect for me. I like being able to adjust the various settings if I want to recline during a call I can. Otherwise I like to sit more upright and it is perfect for me.

Bought this chair about 6 months ago and the piston gave out. Almost 200 dollars for a chair. Never again will i shop at staples and I will tell everyone I know to go elsewhere.

Great value
on December 4, 2013
Posted by: Paula K.
I have been looking for a new chair for some time and have tried out a number of more expensive name brand chairs and while this chair is lacking some adjustability of the name brand units it's very comfortable and sturdy. I made the determination to save almost half of the price of the chair to give up some adjustability and as of this posting I have no complaints. I use my chair at my desk while spending hours CAD drafting. While I would have liked the articulating armrests I couldn't justify the additional expense. The headrest that came with the chair sits a little low for my liking but is a nice addition when I go into slouch mode. All told I like it and am happy with the purchase.

I LOVE THE CHAIR. The mesh allows air to flow through unlike my previous leather chair. Took awhile to put together. Fits my body perfectly. Very comfortable!
