Nice chair for 8+ hour workday / gaming
on June 29, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
If you are looking for a good cheap alternative to the expensive mesh chairs that are out there this is a good one. I've gone through a half dozen of the leather/pleather chairs in the past 10 years. The cushion just can't keep up with an 8+ hour work day and/or long gaming sessions. After a few months on the cushioned chairs I've found that the cushion pretty much gives out and you're sitting on wood particle board or whatever is underneath the cushion that the chair pad is made out of. Mesh chairs offer a nice change from worn out cushions and they are also good if you (or your office) gets hot easily. This particular chair is well-built and only took about 30 minutes to assemble at home. The arm rests adjust up and down. This means I can push them down slide into my desk and work or game or if I'm relaxing and watching a movie I can lift them and kick back and relax. Some people may not realize but you can also lock this chair in the reclined position. The lever on your left can be lifted to recline and then once you have found your position you can just flip it down and it locks. This chair also rolls decently on regular carpet which is nice since I'm not a big fan of chair mats in my home office. Overall this is a great chair at this price. It fits my frame well (5'11'' 185-190lbs) and seems to be working well for long days at the desk.

Almost Perfect
on June 26, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
A great chair especially when on sale. I have only two complaints: (1) you cannot easily adjust the length between the arm rests - basically where you bolt them in is how far apart they will be; and (2) you cannot adjust the depth of the chair (or only slightly again depending on where you fasten the bolts) so if you have long legs like me this may be a problem. The material is great if you tend to over heat easily - those who want to stay warm will want another material. This chair is great for people with back problems - I have chronic back pain made worse by kidney stones and this chair actually allows me to sit for an extended period of time because of all the adjustments possible.

Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair
on June 26, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This chair contours well to the body and has adjustments that allow for individual ergonomic fit. Adjustable arms allow for comfortable height adjustments without the arm rests getting in the way of keyboarding; the mesh fabric firmly supports the body and yet breaths so that your body doesn't get "stuck" with sweat in a position. The tilt function of the back can be fixed in place to fit the back or set to allow for a rocking motion with firm lumbar support in both situations. The headrest is there for support if you want to tilt your head back & use it ... but never gets in the way if you don't want your head to rest on it. The chair is lightweight so that it can be easily rolled while at the work station if you need to change locations. I would recommend this product without reservation.

Best Chair Ever!
on June 25, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I am a tech support agent for a major tech company. I work from home for this job. I'm sitting in my chair in front of my computer for 8 hours a day. Needless to say I need a great chair and needed a great price since I won't get reimbursed. I saw the great reviews for this chair and the discount so went for it. It is incredibly comfy. The best office chair I've ever owned. It was also easy to assemble. And it came a day early.

Good chair on day 2 with minor flaws
on June 25, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This chair is comfortable especially if you have short legs as the seat is not as deep as most chairs. The lumbar support is adequate and the mesh breathes well. The three flaws I've noticed are: 1. There is no lever to lock into a reclined position. It's either full open or no recline. 2. There is no adjustment for the seat pitch. 3. If you are long in the torso the headrest may sit too low for you even though it has angle adjustment and a few inches of height adjustment. Otherwise as long as the mesh seat doesn't stretch and sag it seems like a good chair. I weigh around 165 and there is only an inch or so of space between the mesh and the seat's framework so if it sags at all that could prove very uncomfortable! Construction is solid and substantial overall. Armrests are padded but it is a very stiff padding. Not uncomfortable though.

Best Chair yet
on June 25, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I've gone through many chairs in the price range up to $300 and have sold off all of them including the tempeurpedic which was hard and added pressure points to my hips. I'm 62 and 5'2". This one I'm finally happy with considering comfort. I only wish that the legs were all black the muted chrome is not attractive and scratches easily showing black underneath. Also the legs seem to stick out more that others hitting me in the heels when I swivel so beware to keep your legs out more when turning. The headrest has a little adjustment but does not raise up away from chair so may impact taller users. I'd also like the arms to be softer. The seat and back are extremely comfortable with good lower back support which I really need for my "sway" back. Back tilt rock or lock arms and raise/lower seat all have great adjustments available. Love this chair!

Best chair ever bought
on June 25, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I am a software developer and spend long hours in a chair. I have also bought many chairs in my career. I always buy leather chairs and almost didn't sit in this chair at the store but was drawn to it by its funky look with the head rest. As soon as I sat in it I knew that I had found the perfect chair. I have had the chair for a couple of weeks now and find that for the first time ever I am sitting up straight and not slumping at all. Very comfortable. If there was two of me I would buy another one right away.
