I've been using a fancy brand-name desk chair for years and if I have to sit for any length of time my back suffers no matter how I adjust it. The reviews on this Hyken mesh task chair convinced me to give it a try and I'm so glad I did! It's very comfortable and has a completely neutral impact on my back - meaning even after a full day of work I barely feel like I've been sitting. It looks great and is easy to adjust. My only quibble is with the height of the arms. Even though they are adjustable the lowest setting is barely the right height for me - almost too high - and I'm 5'9". They might be too high for a shorter person. Overall I'm very happy with this addition to my work space.
This chair is a pain to put together by yourself. Much easier with a helper. Once its together its a comfy chair. I like that it sits higher then most. Plus this material wont fade or be easily worn down. Got it at a grace price shipped to my door for free since it wasn't in stock.
Actually there is one DIY problem. You will need a 12” square surface about 20” high to place the seat section upside down to fasten the arms and then seating hardware. The instructions show these steps with the seat section “ in mid air”. Nonetheless each assembly stage has necessary hardware bagged no counting out different screw/bolt sizes and goes together beautifully. Oh yes the chair is comfortable also. I’ve had 3 back surgeries. I can sit in this chairs for 2 hours: other chairs only 45 minutes.
Needed a chair (and desk) quickly as educating moved back to online-only. Sitting on a couch all day was doing me no favors. The last 4 weeks with the Hyken have been great. Recommended.
