STAPLES Ergonomic Task Chair, Mesh, Ergonomic, Lumbar Support, Swivel, Gray

I have worked in IT for the past two years and have sat in maaaany chairs before. I needed a cheap chair to use here while I have been staying here at my moms house during Covid-19 since my main setup chair at my place didn't fit in my car :( I ordered this after looking at reviews, and was shocked at people saying it was uncomfortable. This chair is uncomfortable if you are used to sitting like a slob. I know this because my 500 dollar chair at my place where my main setup is much bigger and much more "comfortable" but I always slouch on it because it is so comfortable or sit weird. The Hyken Technical Task chair is uncomfortable at first not because its stiff, small, or poorly designed it's because it is designed to keep you sitting up straight and properly. I always had back pain before and now I don't with this chair! I am going to need to buy another to replace my 500 dollar chair! Overall: This chair is amazing for the price. It forces you to sit up straight and proper with a smaller base (I am 5'9 and weigh 215lbs) and I fit perfectly. Chair is also alllll mesh! Which is awesome never sweat on it, and farts aren't captured around me for 20 minutes. I am actually ordering two more! One for my main setup at my place, and one for my moms desk because she's loves it too! ** Everyone who is saying this chair is uncomfortable is used to slouching, and isn't used to sitting up straight and proper I have no issues with this chair at all, and my back pain is gone now(and my main chair cost me 500 dollars!) **

Huge fan of the staples hyken line. I spent 20 hours test riding chairs in stores and ended up with the full mesh one (held up for many many years, but the leg foam is starting to fall apart now). I liked that the full mesh one would help with butt sweat, but still felt comfortable enough for extreme gaming sessions lasting 24 hours or more. I still have the mesh one but I've gained weight over the years and the full mesh version is starting to feel a little narrow (I'm 6 feet tall, 225lbs btw). This time I bought the staples hyken XL and I love it too. Sitting down in this thing actually feels like taking a load off and is relaxing and super comfortable. I like that the XL has real springs like a mattress. I also like the mesh parts to help stay cool in the summer. The full mesh version is a fantastic value, but not suited for overweight people. The XL has room to breathe and has fantastic support. Highly recommend this product line.

Overall very good chair. It was a little hard to assemble on my own. Just awkward mostly. Some of the pieces like the seat and back do not line up easily for the screws to go in and the tool they provide, while practical and helpful- it takes incredible hand strength to maneuver that tool. My #1 tip is don't tighten any screws all the way until you have them all in. Tighten them 3/4 of the way so you have a little give to manipulate getting them all even and then tighten them down to 100% once you set it will set evenly. I broke out my power drill with the Allen wrench bit, and even at the highest tork setting, I was afraid I was going to ruin my drill. It was screaming. There's no way I personally could've done this on my own without a drill, but someone stronger maybe could've. It took maybe 45 minutes to assemble and the parts were very well organized and matched the instructions decently well. Now that I've used the chair for the first time it's miles above what I had. So I do think it's a good value at this price point, I'm just slightly disappointed it feels like it has a reclined back and there's no way to control the recline. Its just a space issue. Where my back meets the seat feels further away than I'd like. It could be my own anatomy and won't affect others the same. The lumbar support is very good but I'll probably still use a cushion sometimes behind my back so I don't feel like I'm slightly reclined. But it did feel good to lean back into the seat, lumbar, and headrest and type on the pc and I could feel my posture was supported so much better than my last chair. If I use my pillow I won't get that. And that's important if you're trying to alleviate poor posture. The adjustable neck support is super nice. The chair is definitely made well and I don't see any of this ever breaking. The construction is solid. All in all - I recommend. I think it could be a little better, but I think buying desk chairs is tricky. Sort of like running shoes. Wish they could fit you for a desk chair!!! I don't regret the purchase but see myself maybe finding something else in a couple years. I'll get good use out of it. Also, tips from my chiropractor --- make sure your desk chair has adjustable height, arms, lumbar and has a headrest to support your neck. Hope this helps.

It was delivered to our front door with no damage. Some assembly was required, however, nothing overly complicated. The product is durable. Once assembled and tested, the chair proved to be comfortable for long durations. The sleek look was a perfect fit for my home office.

Just after assembly: As an office desk chair, quite nice. The adjustability of different chair elements is impressive. Lumbar support is quite good. Assembly: A.) Decent hand strength is highly recommended. A 5mm hex wrench is supplied, although if you have a nicer 5mm T-handle hex wrench, your hands will thank you. B.) The bolts that hold the chair together are very nicely packaged. The thread sealer is color-coded. The instructions clearly indicate where each set of bolts go. C.) A reasonably sturdy tall kitchen trash can is an excellent assembly platform.

Great

good product, recommend it.

Doctor recommended this for back and neck support. Love it

Headrest: FIrst of all, the headrest is counterproductive. I know this is an ergonomic chair and it's designed to make you sit straight but this feels like it might give me a hunch back. There's also no way I can sit on this for more than 15 mins. When I work, I need to be comfortable enough to work for hours and this just frustrates me while I work. Seat length Secondly, I read some reviews about this before purchasing but didn't think it was that big of a deal. But NOPE! I was dead ass wrong! The seat length is way too short!!!!!. It's uncomfortably to short and I'm 5'10. Not sure if it was built like that intentionally or it was just built for a 5'5 person. Everything else is fine, but these 2 reasons break the deal for me!!!! I sold it to someone else as a result

It's the same chair I tested in store at staples, and it's not as comfy because it's brand new. But once it's broken in. I expect it to be comfy. It's got an airy seat so if you get hot down there, there's ventilation. Depending on your height if you're +175cm/5'9 i don't recommend it, since you'll sit past the head rest which cannot be adjusted. It helps me sit up straight compared to my old gaming chair, and for my height it's comfy enough. Just need the seat to sag a little so the height goes down a bit. Assembling it took some work, but not impossible to do alone. I would recommend this chair if you're not taller than 175cm/5'9
