Comfortable and Easy to Assemble
on October 22, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
I've had this chair for two weeks and I'm very happy with it. The assembly instructions were easy to understand and the only tool you need to assemble the chair is the Allen wrench that's included. All of my previous office chairs had a low back and no headrest so I planned on leaving the headrest off of this chair when I assembled it. It's attached with two Allen head screws so if you leave it off the chair looks fine without it. However after reclining in the chair a couple of times to relax I found that the headrest allowed me to relax my neck muscles so I've decided to leave the headrest on. You'll find that there's a big knob under the chair. When you turn the knob at the store you won't notice any obvious adjustment and may wonder what it's doing. So I thought it was a good idea to let you know what it does now. By the way just so you're aware the assembly instructions that come with the chair go into detail about all of the adjustments. The knob adjusts the tension of the spring that allows the back of the chair to tilt backwards. Depending on how tight or loose you make the spring by turning the knob left or right will determine how much weight from your body is needed for the back of the chair to tilt back to varying degrees. You can lock the chair in an upright or a reclined position if you want to as well. I like to leave the back unlocked so I can lean back a little bit while working sometimes. If I want to recline to relax for a minute; I just lean back more and the chair will tilt back more. The only negative thing I can say about this chair is the location of that knob. However once you adjust the tension of the back of the chair with it you won't have to adjust it again. Some of the other chairs I looked at had this adjustment within reach when you sat in the chair. However those chairs weren't as comfortable as the Hyken. The adjustments that are important to me are the height of the chair and the height of the arms. Those adjustments are within easy reach while I'm sitting in this chair. My advice is to take your time when you're looking for a new chair. Try out several of them in the store and make sure you use the adjustment levers to make the chair as comfortable as possible for you. It took me about an hour trying different chairs before I decided to purchase this one and I'm very happy with it.

Okay chair A bit uncomfortable

The chair itself is fairly nice but not that comfortable when sitting in it for multiple hours. The plastic it is made from is fairly weak and my headrest broke the day after I got it. Also it is not that comfortable in general.

Best Task Chair I've Ever Owned.

Very easy to assemble. Firm support yet comfortable. Mesh construction prevents perspiration often cooling. Edge of seat with height adjusted to allow your feet to be flat on the floor prevents the restriction of lower leg circulation that my former chair caused. Rolls extremely easily over thin carpeted flooring. Highly recommended at this sale price.

Good value and reasonable comfort
on October 15, 2014

I'm a big fan of mesh back and seat chairs. They're great for year round cool seating and they don't collect dirt dust or cat hair. In fact I bought this chair for my home office and the cat refuses to sit in it which is a bonus. I bought it after having had an upscale version at work for years. I do find that this version is less comfortable and mesh fabric is much rougher. You may find as I do that it is rough on your low back when you're wearing thin clothing. Overall I would recommend the chair it's a little less comfortable but I bought it on sale and it is a good value compromise.

GREAT OFFICE CHAIR!!!
on October 9, 2014

My husband and I each got one for our home office. We were looking for something a little "fancier" but once we sat in this chair we were hooked. It is very comfortable and low profile (perfect if you don't have a ton of space in your office for a big bulky chair). The ability to "recline" is great; it is very sturdy though. So it only reclines if you push back against it and then comes right back when you sit up straight - no lever adjustment required. The mesh seat is very comfortable too! And at $129.00 on sale we couldn't beat that price! We also looked at the TempurPedic chairs at Staples (that are almost $300 each) and found this one to be much more comfortable. We highly recommend this chair.
