The seat is comfortable headrest not so comfortable if youre tall. The headrest tilts however has no height adjustment. At times it feels like youre wearing a neckbrace because its not height adjustable. The wheels are smooth and the adjustable lower back support works very well. The adjustable arm rests are usefule and are of a hard rubber not soft at all. I would recommend this chair to some but not all people. I suggest you try in store and play around with all the adjustmens to see if its a good fit for you.
For Christmas my husband and I decided to get two Hykens for ourselves after trying out every other chair at Staples. These were perfect and the only ones therein we found a perfect fit. They are! If I had to find one thing I'd change on them strictly for comfort it would be adding a mechanism to adjust the arms forward or backward. Otherwise these chairs are truly perfect and have that lovely Scan design look. Staples' sale provided just the right price to make these affordable. Kudos to the store and especially to the designer(s).
Really outstanding chair - fantastic value for the money!

Recently purchased this as a Christmas gift and we couldn't be more pleased. This chair is VERY heavy and sturdy and not the junk you see out there similarly priced. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and will be purchasing another for our home office. I'm also recommending these to my employer.
Would have given it 4 starts but its a little small for me but not the chairs fault. That being said its not a big chair so does not provide adequate seat width and length for a person 5'10" plus. 1st couple of days the mesh seat felt a little to firm which reminded me of leather chairs that wear down quick and loose their padded feel. Only been using it for a week now but getting accustomed to it . So far so good.
I'm really happy with the Hyken Mesh Chair. We bought two because of the great deal and the chairs fit us so perfectly. One fits my husband's size (he's taller) and support needs (he likes to lean back) and the other has the back support that I need. Great find.
My new chair is comfortable swivels - just perfect for me. After I ordered it at the store as it wasn't available it arrived even earlier than we anticipated. Couldn't be any better!
