The Staples Hyken Mesh Computer and Desk Chair Red (50218) is a very comfortable chair. I work in the IT department of my company and they replaced our chairs with these. I liked the chair so much that I bought one for my desk at home.
I was recently deployed work from home and my shifts are 10 hours long. Let me tell you…this is more comfortable than the chairs we have at the office which is saying a lot. I do not suffer fatigue while working so getting through the day is a breeze. Just don’t forget to take necessary breaks. :)
The rest of the chair is great but I am tallish (6'2") and have a long torso. The head rest hits my shoulders and I cannot sit properly. I have taken the head rest off and use it without it.
I had expectations for this chair as the reviews were so positive. But after using the Staples Mesh Computer and Desk Chair those expectations have been met and exceeded. I looked at Human Solutions ergonomic chairs that ranged from $300 to more than a $1000. I had to ask myself what materials could they possibly be using to justify that price. And is that what it really takes to make a comfortable chair. Spending more money than necessary to achieve an end is not what I am into. I have always had to deal with back and neck pain sitting at a desk all day. I have been pain free since using this chair. I recommend it highly.
I needed a new desk chair given the increased time I was working at home so I ran down to Staples and took several for a ride. This chair is comfortable and is light so it’s easy to move around. Highly recommended.
