It was 44% off so I got it on a wim but i didn't get why is it pro... And why theres no video reviews online anywhere for the pro version. Do you guys know something that I don't?

I just picked up and finished assembling the Staples Hyken Pro. It's on a pretty crazy sale on the Staples site atm, I won't link it as I'm not sure what the rules around that are, but I'm sure you could find it easily enough.

Anyways, this chair must have just been released a few weeks ago, can't even find a review on Youtube. All the staples website reviews seem to be customers that were given the product for free, so I don't trust any of them.

I was using the Autonomous ErgoChair 2 (not even the "pro" which seems to be the exact same chair I had.) for almost 6 years, and honestly it held up great, not much negative to say about it, it's just naturally wobbly and a bit stiff/uncomfortable. To me this is far more comfortable and offers better lumbar support than just a cushion you can move up and down poking through the back mesh.

Has some very nice assembly instructions and hardware, the hardware actually has a card within each pouch that has the exact step it's needed for printed on it which is about as "user friendly" as bolts and an Alan key could realistically be.

The seat is very comfortable, but I wouldn't say it's going to be comfortable "all day". It's medium firm, but does have a lot of cushion to it and doesn't feel like I'm sitting on plastic like the ErgoChair did. Lumbar support can be adjusted with twist knobs behind the support mesh of the backrest itself, 3 notches that basically tilt it further out/up. The headrest has height and angle adjustments, at 6'1'' I have to deliberately lean back to feel it properly but when reclining slightly it works well. Back rest is perfectly fine and has plenty of tension without needing to be adjusted (thankfully, because there's no tension adjustment like the ergochair and I'm sure much nicer chairs have.)

EDIT: Oh hey, I lied, there's another knob underneath the right side with 4 notched adjustment selections that change the recliner tension when leaning back. By default it's on the highest, but obviously you can adjust to your liking.

Arms are a rounded plastic with I'd say 5-10% give if you *really* push into them, but for the most part they're a hard plastic, albeit smooth all around with no sharp edges. They can be tilt adjusted left and right, height adjusted and length adjusted forward and back. They're perfectly serviceable, but kind of a wide stance, certainly too wide for typing most times.

Recliner has 3 lockable angles, or you can leave the adjustment lever all the way down to unlock it at all times, and the height adjustment of the seat works exactly like you'd expect. No seat tilt or forward/back adjustments here, but it's not a problem for me, everything seems to be set up just fine for someone of my height.

Either way, just hoping to clear up any questions people have about this chair because I could barely find anything on it before buying mine. I'd definitely recommend adding your roller blade/quad bearing wheel of choice as the stock wheels are as cheap and flimsy as they come.

tl;dr it's a solid chair at the price I paid (215.99 plus shipping) and it retails for 429.99 normally. I'm not complaining one bit.

hello, i am an undergrad student, studying probably 8+ hours a day and playing games occasionally. i was thinking of getting the Staples Hyken Ergo chair since i've heard pretty good things + it's on sale right now. looking to see if anyone has bought it for + their opinions on it long-term. thank you!

Hello, I'm new to this subreddit, but I've been checking for ergonomic chairs a lot recently. As a university student, I sit about 8-12h a day. My current chair is okay, but I need to put a blanket on a particular spot on the seat, that has been crushed over the year. So I'm searching a good new ergonomic chair for long sitting session.

Yesterday, I went to my local Staples store and I tried about every chair that they had. I bought the Staples Hyken (idk if there is multiple model, but this one : https://www.staples.ca/products/990119-en-staples-hyken-technical-mesh-task-chair-black. Because of the way my current seat crushed, I preferred to go with mesh seat, even if it is a bit more firm. My only complain about this chair is the headrest, that is a bit annoying and not fitting to my height, so I'll probably not install it.

So Staples chair policy allows you to return the chair if it has not been unboxing. So before unboxing it, I decided to look up further for other chairs, just in case. So I hesitated with a ErgoChair Pro, but it seems like it's more of a marketing thing and the chair isn't really so great. Then I found this model, the WorkPro Quantum 9000 : https://www.grandandtoy.com/en/product/OD096069_WorkPro_PRO_Quantum_9000_Series_Ergonomic_Mesh_High-Back_Synchro-Tilt_Chair_with_Headrest%2c_Black.aspx. It looks a lot like the hyken, but with more adjustability options. I have seen mostly great reviews, however, some reviews on Amazon tells that even if there is a lot of adjustability options, it is hard to find a comfortable setup and each option is somewhat limited.

So I'm wondering, does anyone have the WorkPro Quantum 9000? Is it great? I'm currently hesitating to buy one, because here in Canada, with the shipping fees and taxes, it's more than the double the price of a Hyken. And I can't try it because it is only sold online, so it's somewhat of a big deal for a chair. So I'm wondering if you think that it is really worth it. Thanks in advance!

If you had a choice between these two chairs without considering the price into account which would be a better buy for me? I'm 5' 150-160lbs. Would be sitting in the chair for about 6-8 hours a day.

Fyi, I already ordered the Workpro last night but having a bit of second thoughts whether I should have gone for the Hyken instead.

I've had quite a bit of difficulty finding information on this chair. The regular and the Pro have a ton of reviews and comparisons. Unfortunately the Staples in my area do not have it to try. Any opinions here? I'm very tall and I haven't had any luck identifying a mesh back / cushion seat chair that is big enough for me for a lower price.

Thanks!

I live in Canada and i am travelling this weekend to US to visit my friends. Found that the same staple Hyken chair which is sold here at $350 CAD is being sold $99 usd in US. They are running 66% off.

I sit around 5 to 6 hours on chair as i mostly use it for gaming and watching movies. I was trying to find chair with footrest but no decent company sells it. Any footrest recommendations and what do you guys think about my purchase?
