Price comparison
You should buy it if…
- You have an atypical height or build and other one-size chairs don't fit well
- You'd rather the chair adapt on its own than adjust it yourself
Better skip it if…
- You prefer manual control over lumbar support
- You want padded upholstery instead of mesh
Look at instead: Herman Miller Aeron, Humanscale Freedom
