Customer Reviews for Staples - Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Swivel Task Chair - Maroon

It’s a decent chair for the money, however you get what you pay for. The ergonomics are fair. It’s comfortable. I wish it had adjustable (front and back movement) arm support. If you have a budget for a chair, I would say at least double or triple it. You we will be spending hours a day using it. It’s okay for me because I use it casually after work. This isn’t a work chair.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've bought two of these for two different desks at home and have been very happy with them.

The chair is fine, but if you are a taller person (6 feet or higher) the headrest is basically useless. Even at the highest setting it rests at one's shoulders. I took it off. The chair is comfortable otherwise.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This is a wonderful rugged chair, just not for me.

I weigh in at 275 pounds at 6 feet and I thought this chair and price was perfect for me. To totally need this chair you need to be about 400 to 500 pounds and be over 6 foot 5. It was just way too much for me.

One Glaring Problem
on January 2, 2026

A couple years ago, we bought my wife a really nice chair (of a different brand) at Staples. We searched high and low, and Staples had the best deal on a solid chair. So naturally, when I needed one for myself, I did my homework but returned to Staples. I have used this chair for the last 2 months and while I find it acceptable, it’s by no means great. My wife’s chair is a La-Z-Boy, which is what I wanted. However, they no longer carried the chair I wanted so I had to settle. After sitting in nearly every chair on the sales floor, I decided to settle for this model. It was the most ideal combination of comfort, price, size and design. The thing that sold me on this chair, specifically, was the head rest. It seemed to cradle my neck perfectly and felt made for me. After I got it home and assembled and began using it, the head rest began falling to the bottom setting. The more I adjusted it, the worse it got. 2 months later, the head rest is now so loose that it will not stay in position and after just a few minutes, lazily falls to the lowest setting, which sits at nearly should level. I have tried to see if there is a place to tighten the headrest but there’s not. It’s a notched, plastic track with no real way to tighten it or lock it in place. This weekend I intend on creating some kind of work around to lock the headrest in place.
Aside from that glaring problem, the chair is fine. It’s a little firm as everything is that typical high-tensile strength mesh material that most middle of the road chair are made of these days. The armrests are adjustable in height, as in the chair base. The seat back reclines and has a couple different locking positions. I spend 8-10 hours a day in it and it’s not uncomfortable, but also not as nice as my wife’s La-Z-Boy.
Knowing what I know now, the chair filled a need but I think I would have pressed harder to find myself a La-Z-Boy chair.
