Love the chair

I have had the chair for a couple weeks and sit in it for 7+ hours per day and my back never tires or hurts; the support is great. The chair adjusts in height and rocks if you want. Great purchase and well worth the money.
This chair at first looks like a copy of the Vaterra chair model Staples used to carry. Upon sitting in it you notice right away that it's narrower less supportive and the headrest sits on the shoulderblades. I'm 6'2" 215lbs. I purchased this chair because the controls on the Vaterra model I had stopped working and needed a replacement. This is the only model remotely close to it that staples had. After having a mesh chair I won't go back so i settled for this one. This chair is adequate at best. As everything feels so constrictingi really have to adjust to get somewhat comfortable. I've had an issue where the frame around the back that snaps in and I assume helps holds the mesh in has come off on the right side within the first month. The good points on this chair are in the wheels and the armrests. They use the nice quiet and smooth gliding wheels and the armrests are comfortable and the only improvement over the Vaterra model. After having it this long I'm stuck with it until Staples comes out with a better version hopefully soon.
I love my chair. to save space I did not install the arms or the head rest. the mesh seat is cool allowing air flow completely around the chair. the seat is comfortable & easy to sit for long periods without getting leg cramps hot or sweaty. the casters roll over my hardwood and I can do the shove and spin to reach my file cabinets. Such fun in my new chair. totally adjustable this chair will fit your body & create a better work environment for you. the back of the chair has good lower back lumbar support.
Best purchase I've made in years. The chair has several adjustment options and is super comfortable. I also like the breatheability of the mesh. I have to sit for long hours to do my homework and I have been experiencing awful pressure in my lower back and sciatica in both of my legs since I started back in school. I have scoliosis and a mild deformity in my right hip which I assumed had been irritated simply because I had spent a lot of time sitting. I didn't realize how terrible the chair I was using really was until I bought this one. Absolutely NO pressure in my back anymore and I have only had sciatica pain (that is helped with some stretching) a few times since I got the Hyken chair. Seriously had I known that simply replacing my chair would have made such a difference I could have saved hundreds that were spent on visits to my chiropractor. If you have back problems get this chair!
