Easy assembly comfortable chair

It was heavier than I expected a solid piece of furniture. Came with the only tool needed to assemble. Look for the sticker on the seat pointing to the front. Casters designed to work on carpet so didn't need the mat I bought. The chair immediately felt more comfortable than my old chair. Cooler and more adjustable as well. Good back and neck support.
The office chair I was using would leave my back hurting and eventually my legs would feel numb after sitting a long time. I decided it was time to get another chair. I sat in all of the chairs in the store several times before deciding on this particular mesh chair. It felt good on my back and it would adjust low enough for my legs (I'm a shorty). The arms were also adjustable which made it even more appealing. I purchased the Mesh Task Chair and brought it home. It was very easy to assemble and I used it right away. As of this writing I am extrememly pleased with the way it feels and operates. My back feels good and no numbness so far. I am glad I made the purchase.
The two sides plastic frame of this chairseat are too high thus when one sits over 10 min.it hurts the sides of your legs........solution 1" cushion on the seat
I tried all of the chairs at Staples and liked the Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair best. It suited my frame as I am only 5' 1" tall. I especially liked the fact that my back rests on the back of the chair and gives great support. I always sat forward in my old chair and my back was never supported. I also like the head rest. When leaning back the chair can turn into a recliner. Taller people in my office tried the chair and did not like it. It was on sale when I purchased it for $100.00 off the regular price so it was a good bargain. All in all I'm very pleased with the chair.
If you are looking for a good cheap alternative to the expensive mesh chairs that are out there this is a good one. I've gone through a half dozen of the leather/pleather chairs in the past 10 years. The cushion just can't keep up with an 8+ hour work day and/or long gaming sessions. After a few months on the cushioned chairs I've found that the cushion pretty much gives out and you're sitting on wood particle board or whatever is underneath the cushion that the chair pad is made out of. Mesh chairs offer a nice change from worn out cushions and they are also good if you (or your office) gets hot easily. This particular chair is well-built and only took about 30 minutes to assemble at home. The arm rests adjust up and down. This means I can push them down slide into my desk and work or game or if I'm relaxing and watching a movie I can lift them and kick back and relax. Some people may not realize but you can also lock this chair in the reclined position. The lever on your left can be lifted to recline and then once you have found your position you can just flip it down and it locks. This chair also rolls decently on regular carpet which is nice since I'm not a big fan of chair mats in my home office. Overall this is a great chair at this price. It fits my frame well (5'11'' 185-190lbs) and seems to be working well for long days at the desk.
This chair contours well to the body and has adjustments that allow for individual ergonomic fit. Adjustable arms allow for comfortable height adjustments without the arm rests getting in the way of keyboarding; the mesh fabric firmly supports the body and yet breaths so that your body doesn't get "stuck" with sweat in a position. The tilt function of the back can be fixed in place to fit the back or set to allow for a rocking motion with firm lumbar support in both situations. The headrest is there for support if you want to tilt your head back & use it ... but never gets in the way if you don't want your head to rest on it. The chair is lightweight so that it can be easily rolled while at the work station if you need to change locations. I would recommend this product without reservation.
