The pictures don't show a side view so you can't see how horrible the posture is on this chair. In the most upright possible position, the backrest is still heavily leaning backwards. also, the lumbar support is painful at any position. this is not a functional chair. even the cheapest non-ergonomic chair has better posture.
Although the chair is a bit wider than expected its been great for me. Having gone through a few chairs I'm thinking I landed on the right chair for my home office. The seat is comfortable and the lumbar support is just right.

Great for sleepers

Build quality seemed fantastic, was easy to put together and support was responsive. However the overall default position of this chair is at way to far of a recline, I felt like I was lying back in it, and it was too far back to sit and actually type or use a mouse. Staples sent a new control piece, was the same as the original... couldn't try one in the store and it seemed like it was just the way the chair was designed. Sent it back, on the look out for another option. Price was fantastic, kinda stinks.

I bought the HykenXL and i am soo happy with it. It is insanely comfortable and plenty of room for a bigger guy. I’m 6’1 330 and this is one of the comfiest chairs I’ve ever owned. It does lean back a little but I personally enjoy that. Seems really well made.
This chair is sooooo comfortable and practical. It sits good, it feels good and I love the the color. I love that the seat is mesh and not fabric. Thank you!
Solidly designed - very heavy components. Easy to assemble - about 1 hour proceeding carefully step-by-step. (The slowest step was aligning the bolts to attach the headrest.) Easy to adjust. The most comfortable office chair I've ever used.
