Real reviews, videos & news for premium chairs

The reviewer purchased this Haworth Fern Ergonomic Office Chair with lumbar support and adjustable desk computer features along with a breathable mesh back from a third-party seller. They bought it in Licorice color (black) and found the chair to be exactly as described in the listing. The chair arrived well-packaged and in perfect condition with no damage. They appreciated that it was easy to assemble following the included instructions. The reviewer specifically noted the adjustable lumbar support as a standout feature, mentioning it provides excellent lower back support which has helped reduce their back pain during long work hours. They found the mesh back to be breathable and comfortable even during extended sitting sessions. The chair's adjustability options including height, armrests, and tilt functions met their needs well. Overall they are very satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it.

This commenter believes people have unrealistic expectations about the Aeron solving their back pain. They argue that the modern sedentary lifestyle is the real problem and no chair can completely fix that. The Aeron doesn't magically cure your back; it simply provides good ergonomic support while you sit, but you still need to stand up, move around, and strengthen your core muscles to truly address back issues.

This reviewer purchased the chair six months ago for their home office and uses it 5-6 days a week. They're very pleased with the comfort and support it provides. The mesh back has held up well with no signs of stretching or sagging. The lumbar support is adjustable and they found a position that works perfectly for their lower back. They previously had a basic office chair and the difference in comfort is substantial. They no longer have the end-of-day backache they used to experience. The armrests are at a comfortable height for typing. The casters work well on both carpet and hard floor. The tilt mechanism is smooth and the tension is easily adjustable. They consider this one of their best WFH investments and it's made their long work days much more comfortable.

After using this chair for about two months, the reviewer is generally happy with their purchase. They find it comfortable for their 8-hour workdays and the lumbar support is adequate. The mesh back stays cool which is a plus. However, they mentioned that the armrests feel a bit flimsy and could be sturdier. The assembly was straightforward and took about 30 minutes. They wish the recline function had more resistance options. Despite these minor issues, they feel it's good value for the money and better than their previous office chair.

This person shares that they tried an Aeron at the office and found it very uncomfortable. Based on that experience, they decided against purchasing one for home use. They don't elaborate on specific reasons but clearly had a negative impression from hands-on testing.

After two weeks of use, this reviewer is impressed with the chair's quality and comfort. They spend 10-12 hours a day working and gaming in their chair, so comfort is critical. The mesh back provides excellent support without feeling too rigid. The lumbar adjustment has a good range and they were able to find the perfect position for their lower back. The seat is well-padded but firm enough to maintain support. They particularly like the tilt tension control which allows them to customize the recline resistance. The casters roll smoothly on their hardwood floor. Build quality feels solid and they expect this chair to last for years. They would definitely buy it again.

Review of Haworth Zody (version 1) found as a dumpster chair. Reviewer found the chair mediocre with restrictive back width, no lumbar support, decent armrests with better build quality than the Fern, but ultimately didn't feel happy sitting in it for longer periods. The chair confirmed the reviewer's negative opinion of Haworth's business practices.

This user strongly recommends the Herman Miller Cosm chair. They describe it as the chair that the Aeron wanted to be, implying the Cosm is an improved or perfected version of the Aeron's design philosophy. They seem to believe the Cosm represents an evolution and improvement over the classic Aeron.
