Very happy with the purchase so far about a month into it. The chair was easy to assemble and very comfortable when comparing within similarly priced $150-$200 category (I got a decent deal). I've had chronic back issues and this chair made me feel better about having to sit in one place for longer durations as compared to some others highly rated chairs that I tried at similar price point. Very good lower back and neck support.
Years ago I purchased my first Hyken Mesh Tash Chair. I needed another chair and did not hesitate to purchase my second Hyken Mesh Task Chair. The chair is substantial and has enough options for adjustments I think most people would be satisified. The only difficulty I had assembling it is that once the mechanism for adjustments is attached to the bottom of the chair the seat is quite heavy. I didn't catch on that the back of the chair went between the support beam and needed help from the store to assemble it. Hence the four star rating instead of a five star rating. The staff at Staples were quite helpful in finishing the assembly. I recommend this chair for a person who needs to sit for long periods of time.
I had high hopes for this chair but after sitting in it to work for less than an hour my back was in spasms. I tried again the next day and had the same result so I returned the chair. I am a small person (5’2”) and although the chair will adjust some it wouldn’t adjust enough for my size.
It has all of the features I was looking for and I am more confident in Staples as a store than other online sellers. The only downside is that even after careful assembly and adjustment the back and head are a little crooked especially the mesh on the head. I would still recommend this chair.
Should have listened to the other reviews- I'm 6' & 200 lbs- which is both too tall & too heavy for this chair. The mesh isn't tight enough to support the weight so it drags right away. My wife is 5'2" and much lighter- she really likes the chair. So depending on your size this could be a great chair.
