Staples Hyken Ergonomic Swivel Task Chair, Adjustable Office Chair with Breathable Mesh and Lumbar Support, Perfect for Home and Office, Black

I bought this to replace my old, el cheapo office chair that was falling apart and was causing me to slouch very badly.It was that type of office chair that was some cushion on top of plywood that you'd be feeling after 20 minutes.I was searching for a chair and at the time, needed something that was very affordable. I decided on this one because it was mesh and one of my friends with really bad back problems got it after doing lots of research, and he recommended it to me.When I got this chair in... oh my gosh.... you cannot possibly understand how life-changing it is to have a proper, solid office chair, especially if you're like me and spend hours each and every day at your desk, in your chair.I'm 5' 7" 120lbs, this chair supports me perfectly, headrest is at the perfect height. The mesh is great, very breathable and supportive.The modularity is great, you could strip the entire thing down to a stool if you so desired. I keep the arm rests off to make getting in and out of the chair easier, and sometimes I detach the headrest when playing VR while sitting. I understand they're forced to do this to fit the chair into a smaller box for cheaper shipping, but it's still appreciated.The build quality is... well, plastic, but pretty hard and solid plastic. The back shroud that covers the metal bracket that mounts the back rest to the seat is the weakest point and has cracked, but otherwise it's been great after 2 and a half years of continuous use. And let's be real, you can't complain about build quality at this price point.Overall, definitely get it if you can.Do not hold off on it and consider buying something else, yeah a new graphics card is cool and all but framerates don't matter if it hurts to sit in your chair.You'd think I'm joking, but my buddy I mentioned earlier messed up his back after years of construction work and a bad motorcycle accident.He has a triple screen 1440p 144hz setup with a 4090 but there's days where he wants to play and can't because of his back pains.So, seriously, do your research and consider ergonomics, and definitely consider this chair.Pic 1: Aug 2022 Pic 2: Oct 2023

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.
