This is the first fancy chair that I've actually purchased; though, I've used some pretty good ones at various jobs. I've had my eye on it since sitting in one at Room and Board years ago. The comfort is equal to or better than any other office chair I've sat in.
Options:
- adjustable arms: I'd definitely go for these
- adjustable seat depth: consider getting the adjustable one if you have longer legs, but since I'm not particularly tall (5'8"), it wasn't worth the extra money
- adjustable lumbar support: the lumbar support is already perfect for me, so there was no reason for me to pay for this.
- casters: the stock casters are 2.5" that are meant for carpet only. I purchased the 2.5" hard floor/carpet casters separately since Amazon doesn't seem to sell this chair with anything other than the stock casters
The seat cushion feels medium firm; it feels firm enough that it won't deflate after only a year but soft enough to be comfortable. The plastic mesh backing allows for good airflow, feels sturdy enough to last years, and encourages proper posture. It swivels silently and smoothly. I've read complaints of squeaking, but mine has remained silent after a few months of use.
I'd definitely recommend trying this out in a store to make sure it's comfortable for you before purchasing as I could see features such as the adjustable seat depth and lumbar support as being useful for taller people, and I could also see how the backing might not be comfortable for everyone.
While this chair isn't cheap, it's a lot cheaper than other Herman Miller chairs (or other fancy office chairs), and you can get a good deal if you purchase this around Black Friday time.
Also, this chair arrives fully assembled, so the box is HUGE!
