We recently purchased the Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Chair because I was having such horrible back pain with my current chair. Since receiving and using the new chair I have been extremely pleased. I would recommend this chair to anyone that has back issues.
When I began looking for a new desk chair I found that prices seemed to be clustered in a range from $100 - $200 and then jumped to $900 to $1500. When I ordered this chair I expected it to be a short term solution to my problem. But to my surprise it seems to be quite well constructed. The adjustments are not as convenient as the more expensive chairs requiring an Allen wrench which makes it difficult to adjust quickly. Now that I have found settings that seem to fit me I think the chair will be a keeper.
We bought two of these chairs. We've only had them a week so we have no idea how they'll hold up over time. However our initial impression is very positive. The chairs were relatively easy to assemble out of the box they look great are comfortable task chairs and the adjustable features work well. Definitely five stars at this point.
This chair is very comfortable thanks to the high back head rest mesh fabric and adjustable arms. After purchasing one for my work office I bought one for my home office.
Frankly this chair is far more comfortable than the much more expensive ergo chair I'm provided at work. I have had zero back pain after using it for nearly two weeks roughly 5 hours per day with frequent 2-3 long sessions seated.
Purchase the warranty. The chair is great. Very comfortable and not hot like most leather chairs. The headrest is weak and we have broken two of them. Thankfully we got the warranties.
