Excellent for lumbar spine support. Reasonable and effective. Can be a bit difficult to assemble though. Overall very good chair for people looking for lumber spine support. Thanks NBADOLA
Overall it met my expectations. The arm rests don't go out wide enough but I'll live. The only major complaint I have was in the assembly of the product. After much extra work I learned the plastic base wasn't drilled properly so I couldn't get the screw in the hole. Thank goodness I have extra tools that can re-did a hole so the crew would fit or I'd be irked! If I didn't have to do all that extra work I would give it 4 stars. I also can't adjust the chair positions to my liking but having the breathable mesh makes it a good chair.
We purchased the Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair about 2 months ago to replace our large leather chair. It is just about the perfect chair for my husband and I. The mesh back and seat are comfy. The straight back and headrest make me sit up a bit straighter. Though I can also lean back and put my feet on my desk and relax when on the phone and that position is also very comfortable. The only downside I find it that reaching your fingertips under the front of the chair there are a couple of very sharp metal cornors. Not a place I would normally put my hands so hasn't really been a problem. Would wholeheartedly recommend the chair.
awesome chair. love it. only the arm handles rattle a little which can be annoying if you move your arms alot not the case with me though so I am happy
I have road tested this chair and find that it has support in all the right places is cool and comfortable to sit in and adjusts to many different positions with one exception. the head rest does NOT adjust up and down for taller people. While it does swivel front to back that is not enough to rest one's head comfortably while leaning back for a quick break from the desk. It rolls smoothly around on the floor or on a chair mat. It rolls smoothly enough that you can adjust the wheels so that the legs can be out of your way with just a little bit of heel action one way or the other. Over all I would highly recommend this chair especially if you accompany it with a decent sized hard floor mat if you have carpeting on your office floor.
I bought this chair for work since I'm sitting at a desk about 8 hours a day. The first thing I noticed was that the material provides support for lumbar and seat cushion (meaning my butt doesn't feel completely flat as a board after sitting a long time). It's much cooler as well since the mesh allows for breathability (perfect for this incredibly humid weather we've been having.) I actually detached the armrest since it doesn't fold or move out of the way and sits right where my desk is which prevents me from scooting all the way under my desk as I prefer. Plus I've heard that using armrests can lead to carpel tunnel so they are sitting in the bottom drawer at the ready should I choose to reattach them. The headrest has been pretty much useless as I am never leaning back in the chair but a great feature to have. Overall I'm in love with this chair and glad I chose this one over the OD one that is double in price or a Herman Miller for 4-5 times more.
This chair is as described. The chair is sturdy and well balanced on the floor/ground. The headrest provides extra comfort. You can be rest assured that you can seat on this chair and work for several hours without realizing you did. If you are looking for a computer or office chair to buy this will be a good choice. If I need to buy a chair for the same purpose again and again this same chair or any other of this quality will be my choice. Do not be fooled by imitations. Look for the original.
The Chair is comfortable specially if you have to sit on it for long hours. It has great back support. However I am not sure it will last long because the material (mesh) on the seat seems to be fragile. The nice things about the mesh is that it keeps your body temperature cool unlike a leather chair. You can adjust the height of the arms and the head piece. Plus the back reclines and you can fix it so it stays reclined (I love this feature). I bought the chair on sale so it was worth the price but I don't think I would pay full price for it.
