I am so happy with this chair. I have been watching it for a long while waiting for a better price. I couldn't believe my eyes when I walked into my local Staples store #0541 and walked back to the chair section. I usually check them out just in case. I got lucky that day because my chair was a floor model they were getting rid of. I've been using it now for a few days and it is wonderful. The seat is mesh and I have no problems with my backside getting numb and sore from sitting on a cushioned chair. The lumbar support is perfect. I love the head rest. I feel I am more ergonomically positioned while I work creating much less fatigue. I am so happy with this purchase. Thank you Staples and especially Brittani Kopecki for explaining the features to me helping me load it in my car and just being especially helpful that day. She's a keeper for sure!
After being home with my children for 18 years I went back to work. I would get home at night and my back was bothering me. I am in pretty good shape and was getting discouraged. One week end I realized it must be my chair! I am in a small office with a small budget. I've been looking for a year to find a good chair that fit my budget. I did not want to settle. Armed with my Staples reward check I found this chair on sale with an addition 15% off coupon. I love it!! The support is amazing. Perfect lumbar support. Perfect neck support and all adjustable.
I was pretty excited about buying this chair but after getting it in my office and sitting on it for a short time the seat began to cut off the circulation in my legs. There is a padding strip just under the thighs that puts pressure on the back of my thighs and after only about 30 minutes my legs fall asleep. This is with the chair adjusted to have my feet touching the floor. I considered returning the chair but it offers the best lumbar support of any of the other chairs at this price point. So I got myself a short stool to raise my feet up some to take the pressure off the thighs. It works but unless lumbar support is the main feature you are looking for in a new chair I would not recommend this chair.
The Hyken chair is one of the cheapest fully mesh office chairs you can buy which makes it a pretty popular option (and it can often be found marked down to around $120 if you are patient). It offers a few adjustments and pretty decent comfort for the price. The lumbar clicks up and down a little bit (but not in and out) so you can position it on your back. The head (neck) rest is probably too short for anyone around 5'10" and over but the good news is you can just choose not to attach it (2 screws). The armrests have up-down adjustments as well but were too high even in the lowest setting to fit under my desk so I took them off. Overall the quality of the chair is a little low (poorly packaged fitment is a little low quality when assembling) but considering the number of other options for a full mesh (seat included) chair in this price range I guess you can't go wrong but don't expect it to compete in terms of comfort or quality with the higher-end chairs.
This office chair has full comfort. Its easy on the "bottom" and if you want to lean back in the chair you don't have to really use any effort to actually push the chair back which was a huge plus for us!. We are definitely going to buy more of these chairs for our office. The head rest is optional which is so great because if you have time to relax it's useful but me being a receptionist I can never rest i can leave the head rest off. I also seemed to notice that it is always on sale! Its so comfortable I love it!
We have owned many chairs for our in-home business but this is the absolute most comfortable most adjustable chair we have ever owned! The mesh seat is surprisingly more supportive than the 'big executive' style chairs we have purchased in the past. The headrest makes this chair even more comfortable - especially at those moments you need to just sit back and figure out your next big move! I am 5'3" and my husband is 6' - the lumbar is adjustable so both of us are very comfortable. You can also adjust the 'back and forth' of the back of the seat - a real comfort adjuster for me! Be comfortable and Make More Happen!
This chair is very comfortable and easy to adjust. At the end of the day my back and legs are not tired and/or hurting. I opted to not put the head rest on and I think the chair looks better (I felt I didn't need the head rest at work). I cannot comment on how easy or difficult it was to put the chair together as I didn't put it together (our wonderful handyman at work did but he did put it together in a fraction of the time it would have taken me). I let my co-worker try out the chair as she is looking for a replacement chair for her office and she really liked it. I think this chair is a great deal it is cheaper than many other full mesh chairs and it is sturdy and feels great. I would definitely recommend it.
