Good chair

The Chair is comfortable specially if you have to sit on it for long hours. It has great back support. However I am not sure it will last long because the material (mesh) on the seat seems to be fragile. The nice things about the mesh is that it keeps your body temperature cool unlike a leather chair. You can adjust the height of the arms and the head piece. Plus the back reclines and you can fix it so it stays reclined (I love this feature). I bought the chair on sale so it was worth the price but I don't think I would pay full price for it.
I bought this chair for work since I'm sitting at a desk about 8 hours a day. The first thing I noticed was that the material provides support for lumbar and seat cushion (meaning my butt doesn't feel completely flat as a board after sitting a long time). It's much cooler as well since the mesh allows for breathability (perfect for this incredibly humid weather we've been having.) I actually detached the armrest since it doesn't fold or move out of the way and sits right where my desk is which prevents me from scooting all the way under my desk as I prefer. Plus I've heard that using armrests can lead to carpel tunnel so they are sitting in the bottom drawer at the ready should I choose to reattach them. The headrest has been pretty much useless as I am never leaning back in the chair but a great feature to have. Overall I'm in love with this chair and glad I chose this one over the OD one that is double in price or a Herman Miller for 4-5 times more.
This chair is as described. The chair is sturdy and well balanced on the floor/ground. The headrest provides extra comfort. You can be rest assured that you can seat on this chair and work for several hours without realizing you did. If you are looking for a computer or office chair to buy this will be a good choice. If I need to buy a chair for the same purpose again and again this same chair or any other of this quality will be my choice. Do not be fooled by imitations. Look for the original.
Overall it met my expectations. The arm rests don't go out wide enough but I'll live. The only major complaint I have was in the assembly of the product. After much extra work I learned the plastic base wasn't drilled properly so I couldn't get the screw in the hole. Thank goodness I have extra tools that can re-did a hole so the crew would fit or I'd be irked! If I didn't have to do all that extra work I would give it 4 stars. I also can't adjust the chair positions to my liking but having the breathable mesh makes it a good chair.
We purchased the Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair about 2 months ago to replace our large leather chair. It is just about the perfect chair for my husband and I. The mesh back and seat are comfy. The straight back and headrest make me sit up a bit straighter. Though I can also lean back and put my feet on my desk and relax when on the phone and that position is also very comfortable. The only downside I find it that reaching your fingertips under the front of the chair there are a couple of very sharp metal cornors. Not a place I would normally put my hands so hasn't really been a problem. Would wholeheartedly recommend the chair.
Considering the hot Florida summers I was looking for a comfortable office chair that would enable me to work on my computer and sewing machine throughout the hot months and this is the chair. It was easy to assemble and its wide casters provide a smooth ride across my hard surface floor. I love the flexibility of adjusting not only the seat height but also the arm rests. Since I can spend hours at the computer or sewing machine the ability to move the height of the arm rests is a significant feature.
I am very pleased with the Staples Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair that I bought. My Dr. said I needed a chair that gives great back support and this chair provides just that. One think I really like about the chair is that you have the option for the back of the chair to flex back but you have to push back on it to make it go back - but also that you can lock it into a non-flex position to be sure you're getting the back support you need. I also read that a good office chair has arm support which I don't usually get because alot of times they are in the way fo the desk. This chair however has adjustable height on the arm rests and they also adjust in or out and they don't stick out so far that they are in the way of my desk. The chair also has a seat adjustment that goes forward or back so all in all you can make this chair fit a specific person. I think it's a sharp looking chair as well but most of all is the great back support I get.
