No tilt but otherwise Fine

The chair's comfortable and relatively light- unfortunately it doesn't have a tilt function although the back does have a limited incline adjustment. It was the most comfortable one I tried in the store within my price range so yeah I'd recommend it for the money it cost.
The arm attachment is just wrong. The slots should allow about 1 inch of adjustment for each arm. But the holes are in the wrong place so about 1/8 inch max. The threaded arm attachment holes in the main base are angled wrong so the bolt head only touches at one edge instead flat fit holding the arm to the main base. It works for me at that position so it's quite comfortable. The mesh is great for air flow. The mesh in the seat is not strong enough nor tight enough for long term use. After 2 weeks it sags a bit. That suggests the chair will be worn out in a year. Would be nice if the arms started out much lower so there's no contact up to about the max height. It's a huge improvement over the totally worn out chair it replaced.
You will not find a better chair for this price point. The chair is great. I sit for around 10 hours a day and I used to do it in a gaming chair. My back would begin to ache and my rear end would start to hurt when buying this staples hyken I instantly noticed much better quality and actual back support. I have sat in Herman Miller Aerons Herman Miller embody and those chairs are great but too expensive. This chair is an amazing alternative for its price. Overall happy with the purchase I just wish the chair didn’t come in all dinged up. There was spots where it looked like someone scratched it against a wall or something. Great chair! Would recommend
This chair has great back and posture support for the price point (many chairs at this price don't seem to design for good posture). The headrest is designed much to low. It is about 6 inches too low for me (I'm 6'4). It might work if you are 5'10 or shorter in height. The headrest has height adjustment but only one or two inches. I removed it right away. The base seat could also be about 1-2" longer to better support legs. Again I am taller than average but the base needs to be slightly longer even for average height people IMO. I would rate this a 5 star if I was below average height. Pros: 1. Designed with posture in mind. 2. Tilt height adjustment and lower back support work great. 3. No undesired noises from chair during use. Cons: 1. Headrest designed too low with little adjustment. 2. Seat base needs to be 1-2 inches longer. Note: Made in China.
