User comments on the Knoll Womb Chair include fond memories of sitting in it at a furniture shop and considering it a dream chair. Some criticize Knoll's high pricing, while others compare it favorably to the Eames Lounge chair. One commenter notes the chair appears large in size.

This reviewer has been using the chair for several weeks and reports it is extremely comfortable with excellent support. They work long hours at their desk and found the lumbar support to be particularly effective in maintaining good posture throughout the day. The mesh material keeps them cool and doesn't cause sweating even during summer months. They appreciate the quality of construction and feel it's a solid investment for the price point. The adjustable features allow them to customize the fit to their body perfectly.

The reviewer purchased this chair three months ago and has mixed feelings. While they appreciate the breathable mesh and the overall ergonomic design, they found that the lumbar support doesn't adjust far enough forward for their body type. They are a shorter person (5'3") and feel the chair is really designed for taller individuals. The seat depth is too long for them which causes pressure on the back of their knees. They've had to use a cushion to make it more comfortable. The build quality seems decent and the chair has held up well so far, but they're disappointed it doesn't fit their body better. They wish they had tested it in person before buying.

This reviewer has been using the chair daily for about five months in their home office. They work in IT and spend most of their day seated. The chair has been comfortable overall with good lumbar support that helps maintain their posture throughout the day. The mesh back stays cool which is important in their warm office space. They appreciate all the adjustment options which allowed them to dial in the perfect fit for their body. The tilt lock works well and holds position securely. The only issue they've encountered is that one of the armrests has started to wobble slightly, though it's still functional. Despite this minor flaw, they're satisfied with the purchase and would recommend it to others looking for a mid-range ergonomic chair.

After one month of ownership, this reviewer finds the chair to be comfortable but not outstanding. The mesh back is nice and breathable, which keeps them cool during long work sessions. The lumbar support is adjustable but they feel it doesn't provide enough depth or firmness for their needs. They have a larger frame and feel the chair might be better suited for smaller or medium-sized people. The armrests adjust well and lock into place securely. Assembly took about 45 minutes and was relatively straightforward. The chair feels sturdy overall. They think it's a decent chair for the money but wouldn't call it exceptional. They may look into adding an aftermarket lumbar cushion.

The reviewer bought this chair two months ago after researching ergonomic options for under $500. They have a history of lower back problems and needed something that would provide proper support. The adjustable lumbar feature was a key selling point. After using it, they found that it does help with their back pain, though it took about two weeks to adjust to the new seating position. The mesh back is comfortable and doesn't trap heat. They like that they can easily adjust the height and tilt while seated. The seat cushion is firm but comfortable. The only downside they've found is that the adjustment levers are made of plastic and feel a bit cheap compared to the rest of the chair. Overall, they're happy with how it's helped their back issues.

The reviewer purchased this chair specifically because of their sciatica and needed something with good lumbar support. They've been using it for three months and have seen noticeable improvement in their symptoms. The adjustable lumbar support allows them to position it exactly where they need pressure. The mesh back doesn't create pressure points which was a problem with their previous foam-backed chair. They can now work full days without the shooting pain down their leg that they used to experience. The seat edge is well-designed and doesn't cut into the back of their thighs. They also appreciate that the chair encourages better posture naturally. This has been a game-changer for their work-from-home situation.
