The padded alternative to the famous mesh chair, with an unusually strong refurbished market. Eight-year owner reviews are the ones worth reading.
This entry is written from the 3 sources listed at the bottom of the page. The numbers are our editorial estimates drawn from that material, not measurements, and no statistical sample sits behind them.
On the evidence gathered here, yes. 87% of owners say they would buy it again, and satisfaction is still 8.5 out of 10 two years in. Eight-year and longer reviews report it still the favourite chair.
Flat. The interesting reviews are the three-year and eight-year ones, and they say the same thing as the first week.
Seat foam compresses after many years of heavy use. Fabric wears at contact points. Warmer than mesh in hot rooms.
Eight-year and longer reviews report it still the favourite chair. Sentiment across the ownership period stays close to flat, which is rare: it reads 8.5 out of 10 in the first week and 8.5 two years later.
Worth it for: People who find mesh uncomfortable; Anyone buying refurbished for a fraction of new; Long working days at a desk. Think twice if: You run hot and want airflow; You want a modern-looking chair; You need something light to move.
