Hyken Technical Mesh Task Chair

I had a very bad quality "gaming: chair before I bought this one and wow. When I tell you the difference of sitting in each chair is extremely different, you will not believe me. The Hyken Techinal Task Ergonomical chair has made a big difference in the way I sit, and looks great in my setup. Assembly of the chair wasn't "hard" but it did take a while to do. It comes in very simple instructions and tells you which screws go where. They give you all the screws and tools needed so you don't have to buy anything extra. I did it by myself but it would have ben easier with another set of arms to help. It only took long because I had to screw every screw in. Other than that, it was an easy job with straight forward instructions. The build of the chair seems very sturdy with a net like fiber for back and leg support. The chair does NOT feel cheap in anyway. The plastic is nice and has a good feel to it and it does have metal as a main frame support, meaning the chair is relatively heavy. The chair feels reinforced and feels like it will not break on you at anytime so that's a plus. The arm rests go up and down so you can move them according to your desk. The chair goes up and down in height. It also has the ability to lean back so you don't have to be sitting straight up all the time and relax. Even when you are laying back, you don't feel slouched nor stiff. You always feel comfortable yet in a good posture. The wheels seem pretty well made. While assembling, they were a little difficult to put into place but eventually they fit into the stand. The chair does feel kind of small so if you are bigger in body shape or height, this chair might not be great for you. I'm 5'8" and it does feel a bit small but barley. The only thing that feels small for me is the seat. The backrest feels perfect in size and back support. Definitely would recommend this chair instead of a gaming chair. I can spend hours on end on the chair at my desk and not feel my back straining or stiff in anyway. Again, it is very comfortable and helps a lot with posture.

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.

This is our second chair of this design and build. Very comfortable for an office setting or casual computer work. The back has an adjustable sprung tensioner that allows for either a firm or soft support against your back. The lumbar support is good too. It also has adjustable height and arms to fit your workspace and personal height. All I can say is that we bought another one a year apart - so in short - it works.

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
