Decent chair but too small

Overall it seems to be a nice chair good instructions to build it without much effort. However the problem for me is the size. I'm 5"9 and the headrest one of the reasons I picked this chair is way too low and you can't move it up much. Also the mesh seating area is not very comfortable. Unfortunately I'll have to return the chair.
I needed to replace my “gaming” chair that I use just about daily to play games on my PC. I began looking for a task chair due to realizing that “gaming” is just a marketing word and that the racer style chairs are by design less comfortable than the standard office chair. After using my original chair for a year I learned a lot sitting on leather for hours on end became extremely hot and uncomfortable. I stumbled on the Staples Hyken through a few reviews on comfortable and posture-improving chairs. I decided on buying the chair almost instantly due to its competitive price and having features very close to the ErgoChair. The mesh provides a ridiculously high amount of airflow and gives a lot of support while still being very comfortable lumbar support is pretty good too but not too adjustable. I’ve read that if you are quite tall the head rest may sit too low but that’s not a problem for me as I’m just 5’6” I highly recommend the Hyken!
I am really getting attached to my new Staples Hyken Mesh Task Chair. I would recommend this chair for anyone who sits at their desk for any length of time.
Chair was a good deal and fairly easy to assemble. It adjusts well for seat and armrest height and allows for back adjustment but the headrest hits me in the shoulders and I’m 5’11”. I took it off when I realized it could not be adjusted for height.
Great so far. I am an assembly klutz so it took me a long time to assemble but the enclosed packaging and instructions were very good. The telephone support center for assisting with assembly was worthless.
