Customer Reviews for Staples - Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair - Charcoal Gray

I am 5'10 tall and Hyken fits me better than the Dexley which is a bit too large. Very comfortable and the lumbar support is great. Build quality leaves a bit to be desired but given the price it is not a real complaint.

This is the most comfortable chair that I have ever had. I would recommend this chair for anyone who need extra back support.

I made the mistake of buying this chair without testing it out first. Online reviews and videos rave about this chair - the different adjustments ease of use and easy assembly are all really good but at the end of the day it just wasn't as comfortable as something padded and nowhere near as comfortable as the Herman Miller Aeron which for some odd reason others have compared this chair to. The Aeron chair was one I was able to test and the reason I pulled the trigger on purchasing this one because of the cheaper price and comparisons. It may have something to do with my height (5'4") not really sure but I'm not able to sit in the Hyken for as long as I was able to sit in my old sub $100 office chair also from Staples. That was a fully padded chair with a smaller footprint and less adjustments than the Hyken but I never had to think about how much time I'd be able to sit in it comfortably. I can only sit in the Hyken for about 3-4 hours on average before I need to stretch myself out or get up and adjust my spine - I don't really feel like the ergonomics help me that much. There is a small slope towards the back of the seat where the back of the chair and the seat connect - having that slope there causes a pressure point in my rear end and one of the main reasons I can't sit in this chair for too long. The Hyken just feels too stiff in general - the seating and chairback are not a soft-to-the-touch mesh material which isn't pleasant to sit on and has me looking into other alternatives. Long-story-short: Make sure you test drive this chair before buying.

Before this chair I was an office clown. Minimal pay and no end in sight. After using this chair I have climbed the ladder to upper management and now drive a dodge stratus. Gamechanger……

Pros: • Decently comfortable chair for the price • Assembly was easy Cons: • Headrest is large and looks like you're sitting in Stephen Hawking's chair on video calls. I had to take it off. • Seat mesh has plenty of give in the middle but not in front so it feels like your thighs are resting on a bar. • Reclining back locks in very few positions so you're either really upright or really reclined.

This is an excellent chair for the price. We now have two. Delivered the next day and the assembly is a sinch. If you are looking at the Herman Miller options this is an excellent alternative with huge feature overlap for a fraction of the price. Time will tell if it holds up against the Herman Miller quality.

Easy to assemble. Decent construction material. Sizing issues for 6'0" 175lbs Headrest is too short. Seat too small/can't adjust to be further out. Lumbar support not adjustable. Spending on a chair with more adjustments would be better.
