THIS CHAIR IS AMAZING

I just got this chair for work and it is absolutely the BEST chair I have ever had by far! The chair I had was an $800 chair and did not compare at all. I have a lot of back problems and the lumbar is just wonderful!!!
Very very comfortable. Great lumbar support. Easy up and down lever for adjusting. Nice firm seat. Assembly was done by the Staples staff (additional $10.00) before I arrived for payment and pickup. Only negative drawback is the headrest can't be adjusted for height. It does has a forward motion. I am 6 feet and if I lean back the headrest hits me about shoulder level.
The chair looks good and is reasonable well built. It has a good height and back tilt adjustment and good arm rest adjustments. Even though the description says it has an adjustable lumbar support it really doesn't. Never the less the lumbar support worked for me. That being said the headrest can not be raised so is more or less useless unless you have a short torso and neck. The seat and back use a combined tilt mechanism so the base doesn't have a real tilt mechanism so it tends to cut off the circulation to my legs. This a mess chair so it does not have a traditional padded seat. The seat side rails that the mess is attached to are a little to narrow for me. My thighs tend to press in to the side rails a little. I do not have a big butt so I caution anyone with a posterior that is even a little wide that you may find this chair uncomfortable. For these reasons I would not recommend this chair.
The Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair is just the chair I need for the added support that I need at the moment to allow me to work more comfortably after injuries sustained in an auto accident. Although I had a great chair it did not have the upper back and neck support I need. Since I could not find the proper chair at my work place - and since our non profit is on a strict budget - I couldn't pass this chair up after I sat in it --- and to top it off it was on sale for a great price. I've used it for several days now and I love it!
I needed an ergonomically correct chair that was comfortable and affordable and this fit the bill. It's very supportive and the height of the chair and arms are both adjustable to ensure a perfect fit. The head rest works great for me but I am a smaller woman 5'4". Overall a great investment.
This chair is comfortable and adjustable so long as you are not particularly tall. I'm 5 ft. 11 and the headrest is much too low. It does fit my wife though and she's the one who uses it. It is substantial even if totally made from molded plastics (except the lift). It is well worth the price when on sale for a hundred off. Fairly easy to assemble but would go together much quicker if you have a power nut driver with sockets that fit the "screws". Otherwise the allen wrench will start to dig into your hands.
love how comfortable it feels to sit and turn. It keeps my back straight just what I was looking for. I also love the head rest that is attached. It feels good to sit back comfortably. The mesh like seating and back is also more comfortable than I thought it would be. I didn't need all that leather padding that others showed.
