STAPLES Hyken Ergonomic Office Chair | Adjustable Lumbar Support with Breathable Mesh, Swivel Desk Chair for Home Office, Charcoal Gray

Better than an expensive gaming chair
Excellent desk/gaming chair for the price. This chair was a perfect fit for me. I’m 5’10” 240lb and I have fallen asleep in this multiple times. I’ve used it on hard wood and carpet. After 4 years of consistent/heavy use, the armrests are starting to break down and the recliner is busted. But this chair lasted longer than my roommates $500+ gaming chair and was arguably just as comfortable to game in. This chair happened to fit my modest pc set up perfectly, I do not like big bulky chairs. I will be buying another one to replace the old one, and I will still be spending less than my roommate did.(For a taller person I would recommend removing the headrest)

Very Good Chair, but….
Bought this product a few days ago and now have had it for a few days now, so I can give a short review on it.So far its been a pretty good upgrade from my previous chair, and has been extremely comfortable to sit in, even after hours of use. The quality for the most part is very well done and the features on this chair are quite nice with the mesh padding and lumbar support, and I really enjoy being able to lean and tilt backwards when I want. Overall the sitting quality is a 5/5.As for what I somewhat disliked/am disappointed about with the chair, it would have to be build time and the headrest. Firstly, as a somewhat weaker person, as well as assembling it alone, it was a pain to put together. It took roughly 2 hours to finish the chair doing it alone, though that was mostly just putting the chair together. I would recommend getting someone else to help when it comes to building the chair as the positions can be quite awkward when twisting the screws into each part.As for the second part of what I was disappointed with, ultimately it was the headrest snapping off before a full day of use. Whether I twisted the screws on too tight or if it was not design for more than a pound or two of force, I’m not sure. Still it ended up snapping right off while testing the chair out on the first day, so be wary of that if you want to use it long term. Likely it was a combination of too much force and screwing it on way too tight, but it is not designed to take much force at all.Other than that, the instructions were practically perfect with the visual representations and everything else about the chair has been working in good order. It is quite compact too, so it can fit in smaller spaces which makes it a plus since I don’t have a lot of space in my room. The extra features with tilt control, height adjustments, lumbar support, and the armrests are exactly as advertised, so no problems there either.Pretty good chair for the price tag, with only a couple of issues at best.

First Impression Are Great
When UPS dropped it off, the box was basically falling apart and half open on both sides, that was a bit disappointing and uneasy to see. However, everything was included and no damaged parts. The parts were packaged well enough.Assembly was very easy and straight forward, if you know how to screw bolts in, you’ll be fine. probably took me 15 or 20 minutes and did it while watching tv.I used to sit in old hand me down leather executive chair and the butt cushion was flat, little lumbar support and no padded armrests. Immediately this chair is a night and day difference. the butt cushion is just tension mesh, so your butt doesn’t bottom out and hit the plywood underneath. the adjustable lumbar support feels great. the height adjustable armrest is way better. My elbows are finally the same height as my desktop, making typing much easier and more comfortable. The armrest isn’t padded with foam cushion rather a squishy rubberish material I guess, all I know is that they are comfortable and doesn’t hurt my elbows like my old chair did. The head rest is a little hit or miss. I’m about 6’3 and if I sit up all the way straight the bottom does go into my shoulder and its uncomfortable, however I tend to slouch a little and if I do its actually a little nice. I’m probably never going to use it while typing a paper or playing games with mouse and keyboard, but for watching YouTube videos and online lectures its nice.Overall its an exceptional chair for the price I paid, which was on sale for around $160. I can’t speak on longevity just yet but will update if I run into any issues. Very happy with my purchase so far.

good product, recommend 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 lengthSecondly, 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
