What We Like

  • It carries 3,657 reviews averaging 4.3.
  • A synchro-tilt mechanism is named, and its tension can be adjusted.

Watch Out For

  • The stated capacity of 250 lb ties with nine other chairs for third-lowest among home-office chairs.
  • Headrest height is stated as non-adjustable.
  • Warranty length is not stated anywhere in the listing.

At a Glance

Staples' Hyken is a mesh chair with a BIFMA mark.

Who This Chair Is For

  • Shoppers after a mesh chair with a BIFMA mark and a large pool of owner reviews.
  • Buyers comparing Staples' own chair line, since the brand is STAPLES.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

  • Sitters near the 250 lb limit.
  • Buyers needing arm movement beyond height, since the listing does not state any width or pivot control.

Synchro-tilt and a headrest that stays put: the Hyken specs

Tilting is handled by a synchro-tilt with a tension setting, and the headrest stays at one height. The listing does not state a recline angle or a tilt lock.
