I work from home so I spend a lot of time using this every day. While this chair is not as ergonomic and comfortable as the $1000 Herman Miller chair I had at my old office location this a great value and I feel far less fatigued than in the cheaper Stapes chair I had prior to this one at home.
I purchased the Hyken chair on a whim after seeing it on sale for 139. My previous chair was giving me problems and I thought I should go for an ergonomic chair. BUILD Building it wasn't too much of a hassle. However some of the nails did have paint on it so it was near impossible to screw in all the way. This is true for the arm pieces and 1 (of 4) for securing the bottom adjustment plate to the seat. Head Rest I'm 5'7 but I'm more torso than legs and the headrest was just jamming into my neck. I have taken it off but the head rest was just not doing it for me. If only it were adjustable. Reading from some of the other reviews here the headrest is really hit or miss. Back support My back is fully supported and my posture is much better now than compared to my previous chair. I work from home and sit at my desk all day and I don't get uncomfortable sitting in this chair for over 6+ hours a day. ( I weigh 175 for your reference) Overall I think this chair is a good deal if you can get it for under 140. If you're looking to spend more maybe look into a Tempur Pedic
This is the fifth chair purchased looking for one that will allow me to sew an extended period of time without paying in backaches. These chairs have ranged from the least to very expensive. This one fills the bill nicely.
This chair is wonderful I sit at the computer all day and this chair is ideal.no more back or neck ache. I actually enjoy sitting in this chair. I recommend it . I went to Staples and tried it before purchasing it. I am very happy with my choice. Go try before purchasing any chair only way to go.
You have to sit back in the seat of this chair to fully appreciate the advantages of its design. The head rest is perfectly positioned for me at 6.0' and allows me to relax back with support on my upper neck (cradling my head) rather than at the back of my head. The only downside so far is cosmetic. The silver paint on the wheeled support base scratches very easily and the black underside shows through. No one would really notice it. For the money and long Staples warranty this is a high quality office chair that keeps you both alert and comfortable.
