Staples Hyken Ergonomic Mesh Task Chair

The cheapest way into a chair you can partly fit to yourself. Staples' own-brand Hyken often sells well below its $299.99 list price, and for that money you get adjustable lumbar support, arms that move up and down, a headrest that adjusts for height and angle, and a tilt lock with tension control. It is rated for users up to 275 lbs and has a 5-year warranty. The seat is the limit. Its depth is fixed at about 16.7 inches, shorter than the MARKUS, which suits shorter and average thighs but leaves long-legged sitters without enough support under the leg. The arms move only up and down, so broad or narrow frames cannot bring them closer or wider.
