STAPLES Hyken Ergonomic Swivel Task Chair, Adjustable with Breathable Mesh & Lumbar Support, Perfect for Home & Office, Charcoal Gray

For the price, packaging, easy of assembly an easy 5 stars.
As always, I rate with price in mind and considering that price. Is this as comfortable and well built as a Herman Miller Aeron? No. But it also doesn’t cost 1200+ bucks. For like $1000 less, it’s pretty good. I found it was kind of difficult to find a mesh back AND bottom chair that wasn’t too crazily priced, so that’s what brought me to this char.- One of the best, if not best, packaged assemble-yourself furniture items I’ve ever dealt with. All pieces were wrapped very well to prevent damage. Due to their smart choice in box size in relation to the disassembled chair pieces, everything fit nicely in the box, came out nicely, was completely undamaged, AND I didn’t have like 2 trashbags full of styrofoam to toss like with most assembly required stuff.- Instructions were clear and correctly well written in English, without the usual sometimes laughable often times confusing instructions that usually seem to be translated by throwing darts at a board of random words you might find in a manual.-Nice touch was that each plastic pouch with the hardware had a card in it with the part ID and what instruction steps it’s used for. So you might have 4 bolts, and the card would have ‘A’ Step 3. And in the instructions you’d find step 3 and see the bolts ‘A’ needed. Amazing to see a company actually put a bit of effort into their instructions/assembly stuff. Also the only tool needed for assembly was the included Allen wrench.- It’s pretty comfortable for a just over 200 dollar chair. Armrests are adjustable up and down of course, and you do have some adjustment room width-wise by sliding them in and out before tightening the bolts underneath. It’s not a huge amount of adjustment, you can maybe add another 2 inches of space total max, and obviously it’s not a simple button/lever adjustment since you have to adjust the bolts. The same thing applies to the seat depth, the chair back can be assemble with a bit of room while tightening the bolts. Though you’re probably only getting an inch or so there. The lumbar support piece also has a bit of adjustment as well. The headrest only has one bolt position, but it has some adjustability with the pivot mount it has. The usual other adjustments of course too that you’d expect from an office chair: height, lock back in place, let back lean.- Great value for the price point, especially since there aren’t a whole lot of mesh back and bottom chairs out there down in this general price range.

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.

good product, recommend it.
