        That is almost certainly Staples Hyken. Comfortable chair but cheaply made, mine started disintigrating in a couple of years.

          You’re correct, it’s a Staples Hyken that I got on sale for $130 since I was a former chairless broke boi. I hope to get a couple of years out of mine so I could find a second hand Aeron or somehow get enough money to get one new

            I’m sitting on an Aeron at work, it’s good, but I can’t in good conscience pay that much for a chair. I was recently on the market for a new office chair and extensively researched it. It really looks like it’s a hit or miss with every chair in every price range, and I was very seriously considering replacing my Hyken with another Hyken. I decided to go with the IKEA Markus and have been sitting on it for about a month. I’m only moderately happy with it, may even return it before the year is up although I’d hate doing it.

        Could I instead interest you in an embody? I find it’s a much better model.

      Unfortunately this is the Herman Miller we have at home, the Staples Hyken. Just moved and I couldn’t afford to have my ass and back blessed by Herman Miller. Though one day my tithe may be grand enough to receive Herman Miller’s blessing
