I had previously purchased the Bressor chair. Its lacked height and support and was clunky. There was no height adjustment so it sat very low. So I returned it and opted for the Hyken chair. The Hyken has better support and is very comfortable with an adjustable neck support. The directions were unclear and hard to follow. The arms although adjustable are a bit shaky. I guess I'll need to tighten the screws. It would be nice if Staples would have the chairs they have on their website in all their stores so one can try them out before purchasing them. Its an effort to put the chair together before finding out that itd not right. They you have to take apart and go through the return process.
After sitting in the same chair for twenty years - and watching it list decidedly to the left - I decided it was time for a new chair. It being a holiday season I decided my staff should also have a new chair if she wanted one. She was complaining that her back and neck hurt continually and after studying her chair I could see why! I chose the Hyken Mesh Task Chair because I had tried a mesh chair at home and really liked it. When this chair popped up on sale we snapped up two. They were delivered - free - to our upstairs office (no elevator so this was a great service) within one business day. Late that afternoon after the rest of the staff was gone I put my chair together by myself. Though a little heavy it only took about 30 minutes. The next day my staff member put her chair together with a little help. After using them now for ten days she no longer is suffering neck and back pain. As she is an exceptional ballet dancer (with some equally exceptional office skills) this is a great improvement! And I am loving the springiness of the seat.
The chair is very comfortable. The main thing I like about it is that it provides great support. --it supports my back especially my lower back which I need. It has a bulge at lower back level which really helps. --The headrest also provides additional support for neck and shoulders--very few office chairs do this--so can lean back without strain. --it does not tilt back unless you really want it to so no unexpected backward jerk. Another good feature is that both the seat and the armrests drop to a low level--this allows me to use an underdesk keyboard (the armrests on some previous chairs kept hitting the sliding keyboard platform. Finaly its mesh construction ventilates and is cooler than leather or plastic material
I admit... I was very aprehensious about buying a mesh chair I was worried the mesh would tear easily. But my old chair had seen better days So I went ahead and bought one on Black Friday. I am really impressed. This chair is comfortable and makes my job as a graphic designer a lot easier. I really like the head rest lets my body relax just a bit more and the locking recline is great for making sure you're at the right angle to be comfortable at. Plus it helps to take a little weight off your feet which the recline helps with. I would not hezitate to buy this agian!!
