Good Chair But BEWARE OF HEADREST FOR THOSE OVER 5'8+

Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: It's completely mesh (back and bottom) which is great! It's definitely a good alternative vs. the more expensive fully mesh chairs. I would also say I am comfortable sitting in this chair (without head rest - explain later) for a long period of time. This is crucial during this WFH period because of Covid-19. I bought it retail but there's always a great sale on this chair. ALWAYS WAIT! Cons: The biggest con of this chair if you've done your research is the headrest. Anyone taller than 5'8+ will have the same annoying issue of the headrest digging into your shoulders... unless you slouch in your chair. Now there's a few hacks around this that will improve your experience. 1) get an attachment from a third party site and add your own headrest (ive seen some success with this method on YouTube. 2) Remove the headrest and use the chair without it - I know this is counter-intuitive but I really can't use the headrest anymore because it just hurts.
Good support chair overall. Just wish I could raise the seat a little higher since my desk is elevated Love the head support and mesh design compared to the bulky traditional chairs.
I am compelled to write a review as a consequence of my unremitted love that I harbor towards this fantastic chair. I give it 10/10 on all aspects and highly recommend. Im sure you will "chair" these thoughts with me too once you have experienced the pleasure of the Staples Hyken chair.
