I've had $1200 ergonomic chairs at work and this chair comes reasonably close to the same comfort and adaptability considering the price. I sat for quite a while in every chair in the store -- including high-end chairs and other brand names known for their comfort -- and the Hyken Mesh had them all beat by a mile! I need support more than I need plush. The lumbar support on this chair is exceptional. Works for me -- I saved money and found a chair that suits my body well. I'm pleased with it. The only unknown now is how long the chair will hold up under daily use. And for that only time will tell.
Just finish putting together my chair Wasn't hard to put together. Chair is sturdy and the Lumbar support feels great. Great improvement to the chair that I had before. Can't beat the price either.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Outstanding and clear instructions- and having the parts together in labeled packets mad it even more enjoyable a task- the absolute best I have ever had in putting and item together. THANKS
The good part is the chair sits higher than my old one so my feet can sit flat on the floor and my ankles knees and hip don't hurt as much. The down side is I have a wide butt and this is made for a narrow one. The contoured bottom pinches my bottom so I have to use a pad. The only chair pads are too small. I might recommend this for a tall skinny person.
I think these are going to be fantastic home office chairs. So far have been happy with everything about them: on-schedule delivery very well packaged with the best assembly instructions (English speaker written color coded bolts) I’ve ever seen. It took about 40 minutes to put the first chair together but only 20 minutes for the second - I’m trainable! We purchased these chairs because we had tested out dozens in multiple stores and didn’t like any of them. Then we walked into a Staples store sat down in two Hyken chairs and my wife and I looked at each other and immediately said “These are great!” Ergonimically sound adjustments and an especially good lumbar support for your back. Components were very solid - indeed heavy - and the mechanisms looked quite durable. The chairs have a modern look and the grey mesh matches our desks and bookshelves (purchased at Scandinavian Design Denver). Long-term concern about durability of mesh but we’ll see.
