I purchased this chair a couple of weeks ago after sitting in a lot of chairs and found this to be very comfortable after adjusting it for my size. If the webbing holds up I will really love this chair. Very comfortable and supportive.
I've been through several chairs in the last year. I need support for my neck but I'm also short. But a lot of the "executive chairs" out there are built for 6 ft tall men which means that I don't fit in them well. I've sat in all kinds of chairs from all different makers and from all different stores/retailers. This one is a winner. I like the mesh because of the air flow; completely necessary in the sauna that my office becomes when it's more than 55 degrees outside. The armrests are adjustable and the key are adjustable down low enough for someone of my height. One thing I haven't figured out yet though is how to limit how far the back can recline. When I do lean back it goes all the way and I feel like I'm going to go head over heals onto the floor.
I suffer from lower back problems including a lumbar spinal fusion and spinal stenosis. I need good lumbar support and firm support for my upper back and neck. The Hyken chair from Staples has been a great purchase. By using the adjustable tension in the backrest i can maintain firm continuous support for my lower and upper back while working at my desk. When I am not using the computer I can use the desk to relax my back by leaning back using the headrest and essentially taking all the stress off my back by fully relaxing the entire length of my back. A fine chair and a purchase that might work for people who need extra support for their backs.
Nice lumbar support feels like good quality construction. Some ofthe bolts were overly tight-fitting so be prepared to really lean into it. Only improvement would be if the headrest could be elevated - I'm only 5'9" but it's too low for my shoulder. Granted the reat can tilt back which alleviates the issue someone but only if you want to recline your head. Still you don't buy a good supportive chainr to lie down in :)
I've had several chairs like this. I like the design...the ventilation of the back the headrest and especially in THIS case: Ventilated seat and solid plastic arms. My other chairs had to eventually GO because quite often they use faux leather on the armrests and seat and they just deteriorate disgustingly over time especially if you sit in it a lot which is what I do in front of my PC doing whatever I do watching TV SKYPE email and so on. While THIS ONE turns out to be the best of several I DO have a BEEF with... The headrest is not HEIGHT adjustible....and I am 6'2" tall. My other headrests (and none of this stuff is transferable) WERE height-adjustable and I like that. THIS headrest disappoints as a serious design flaw if you're tall. Another thing about a lot of these chairs is that the hydraulic gas that lifts and lowers the chair gradually runs out air and...you after time find yourself experiencing that...."sinking feeling"...quite annoying.... Hope this helps....
Purchased chair on Black Friday deal at store. It was the last one and the box was heavily damaged but I purchased it at a discount with assurance I could bring it back if damaged. Assembly was slow but not difficult. Got to last part the headrest and it was missing. (nothing else was damaged or missing) . Went back to store and they replaced the part immediately with no hassle and an apology. Chair is confortable for me and I think it will be cool in summer. Other than the missing headrest I am very satisfied.
I bought this chair on "Black Friday" and got a good deal. The salesclerk was very helpful in placing the order as they were sold out in the store. It arrived Monday after the holiday. The chair is very comfortable. I like being able to lower the arms enough to fit under my desk There are many adjustments including the lumbar support and headrest. It probably took about 45 minutes to assemble but I had help from my cat who sat on all the parts and instructions. The parts were neatly separated into well marked bags. The instructions were easy to follow.There are a lot of warning labels in visible spaces that were difficult to remove as they would tear and leave behind glue. Goo-Gone took off the glue without affecting the plastic finish..
