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

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 an excellent office chair for this price range. I first bought one for my home office during the pandemic, and just bought a second one for my den. The chair is well constructed, heavy duty, and the mesh seat and back are comfortable and sturdy. The adjustable tension for reclining the back is outstanding, and the seat height adjustment range is great as well.

I’m 6’2 and the chair is a great height for me. Highly recommend this chair.

Overall, this chair is solid for the price point. The materials are of decent quality. The seat cushion, mesh back, lumbar support, and headrest are relatively comfortable. The lumbar support is a bit aggressive, but it does provide nice support. Adjustability, with the exception of the armrests being too high, is solid overall. The reclining tilt-lock mechanism is quite a nice feature. I really wanted to like this chair, but unfortunately, it is incompatible for me due to the armrest height being too high at the lowest level, which was cutting off circulation throughout my forearms and wrists.

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.
