Truly an XL Chair
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: BMonday
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being a larger man, I have had a lot of trouble in the past finding an office chair that actually fits me comfortably. This chair has been great, it's wider than chairs I've had in the past and is extremely comfortable. I was also impressed with how easy it is to make adjustments to this chair. Height, recline, lumbar support, arm rests, and neck support are all easily adjustable. Overall I would highly recommend this to someone who is search for an XL office chair.

XL modern desk chair
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: GeorgeB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have just started using the Staples Hyken XL Ergonomic Fabric Swivel Big and Tall Chair.
The setup and assembly was easy, taking me under 30 minutes with all the instructions and screws well labeled with numbered steps.
I am 6’5 and 260lbs and this chair easily fits my large frame. The chair has ample seat depth and seat raises for long legs. I like the adjustable arm rest (vertical and horizontal adjustments) and adjustable seat (forward- back) as well as head rest. The chair is heavy but feels very solid and I feel well supported.
The fabric is comfortable and the design style is modern.
Some drawbacks are the chair is very heavy if you need to move it around. Since the chair is so large for Big and Tall individuals it does take up more space especially if you have a wall behind the chair and the arm rest I find do get in the way with my desk when trying to sit close to the desk.

Excellent Big and Tall Chair
on November 4, 2025
Posted by: Willis
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recently had the opportunity to review the Staples Hyken XL Ergonomic Fabric Swivel Big & Tall Chair. My first impression was great, the chair came expertly packaged for shipping. Each part was clearly labeled and assembly was very easy. It took around 30 minutes with one person. I especially like all of the small screws being labeled for which step to use them on. The chair itself resembled any other black computer chair at initial glance, the picture did not do the size justice.
I am 6'10" and around 325. This chair is comfortable and the seat itself feels extra cushiony- I applaud this. The chair is TALL and makes it very easy to stand up from. There is lumbar support that appears adjustable and the headrest is also easily adjustable.
The seat controls for raising and adjusting are intuitive and also have a locking mechanism which I love. No more crazy kids sneaking up behind me and lowering it without my knowledge! The look and design is decent, nothing too fancy but not shabby. The appearance is just plain black and it is aesthetically minimalist and appealing. Just what I want and need for my computer area.
What I like most is the height and overall size of the chair. It is very much a large person supported chair and I would endorse the chair to someone up to 400lbs. One thing I am a little bit eery of is the base material and how long it will hold up as it appears plastic- it is a strong plastic, though. If you wanted to make it capable to support heavier, consider a metal base with metal casters. Also, I would recommend some glue for the screws unless you have a need to disassemble the chair. Screw glue would remove the need to tighten the screws with heavy usage on a daily basis causing them to come loose.
Excuse the background, but in the attached photo you can see the Hyken chair on the left vs another chair rated for individuals of my size on the right. The difference is large. (No pun intended)

I purchased this model back in 2013, and have used it almost everyday since, and it is still in great shape. If you're looking for an affordable comfortable desk chair, this is a great option.

Great chair that will not wear out in the seat
on October 24, 2025

I compared this chair with the similar version and this has a much shorter seat which let's my back tough the back of the chair giving me consistent lumbar support. It is comfortable and there is no foam cushion to wear out. In the past chairs I purchased broke down the foam in the seat leasing to back issues. With a mesh seat I should not have that issue. Great chair with a great fit for shorter legs

Very nice chairs. Ordered two of them for my office. They were $109.99 ea. on sale so it was the perfect time to finally refresh our old worn-out chairs. We've them for a week and have already noticed a great difference in my energy levels throughout the day. I feel supported and the mesh material is wonderfully breathable. There are multiple adjustment settings- I personally like my chair to sit up with a straight back but my boss likes to lean back a bit. My back feels highly supported and the seat is comfortable. Highly recommend these chairs- the ergonomic label isn't just for show. 😊

The chair is really nice. I didn't have much trouble putting it together but not enough info on applying the last piece. My son had to help me with that. However I'm not a very tall person and I found that the seat edge kind of made it uncomfortable. I guess it was the way it rounds up. But luckily enough my daughter is taller and she says it's very comfortable. It's a very good buy.
