And if you run hot, the mesh back and seat make it a better option than the Steelcase Gesture.</p><p>Bottom line: If you mainly want a chair that props you up ergonomically and is comfortable to sit in for long hours of typing at a desk, the Aeron will suit you well.</p><p>The Aeron’s armrests aren’t as adjustable as the Gesture’s, so this chair is not as versatile for different tasks requiring arm support, such as propping up a tablet to read. But the Aeron is easier to move around and less bulky than the Gesture, and it doesn’t collect as much lint.</p><p>This chair is well known for its durability, and it comes with a 12-year warranty.

If you have a home office, finding a chair that makes your desk time more comfortable and healthful is a worthwhile endeavor.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_169823" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="One of the authors sitting in the Steelcase Gesture sitting at a desk typing on a keyboard." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5953.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-169823"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> If you sit at a desk for more than six hours a day, investing in an office chair that fits the type of work you do is worth it. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Kyle Fitzgerald</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>If you don’t spend that much time sitting in front of a computer, you don’t need the type of ergonomic, adjustability-focused office chair like the ones we recommend here.

We also consult ergonomics experts to get advice on what to look for in an office chair that would best support your body for short or long periods of sitting. We use the following criteria to decide which chairs to test:</p><ul><li><strong>Comfort:</strong> Finding the perfect, most comfortable office chair is a subjective endeavor that also depends on the type of work you do, your body size, and how you sit. Although many office chairs have a 300-pound weight limit, most of our picks have 350- or 400-pound capacities, and in our latest round of testing, our panelists included paid testers who have above-average heights and weights. We evaluated office chairs based on seat, backrest, and armrest comfort. How we felt after we got up from a chair was just as important as how we felt while we were sitting.</li><li><strong>Lumbar and back support: </strong>Because people have different torso lengths and lumbar curvatures, adjustability is key, according to <a href="http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">professor Alan Hedge</a>, an ergonomics expert. A good backrest will support you regardless of how you sit.</li><li><strong>Ease of reclining: </strong>Reclining is important for “sustainable sitting,” according to our experts, because you can move your body a bit more while you’re seated.</li><li><strong>Adjustability:</strong> A <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/how-to-adjust-office-chair/">more-adjustable chair ensures a better fit</a> for a wider range of bodies—and it’s more likely you’ll be happy with the chair you buy. Good chairs offer adjustable seat height, arm height, tilt, and seat depth. The best chairs allow you to customize the tilt distance and the amount of force needed to lean the chair back.</li><li><strong>Durability and materials:</strong> A lot of minor things can go wrong with a chair—the arms could come loose, a knob could crack, or a piece might break off entirely. Cheaper chairs are notorious for developing weird squeaks and creaking sounds over time. Seat cushions in particular can give out quickly, with the cheaper foam leaving you with an office chair that feels saggy. For those who like to move around while working, caster quality is also important.</li><li><strong>Price: </strong>Office chairs below $200 are made with cheaper plastic and metal, tend to have fixed armrests and seat depths, and usually look bland and have inferior warranties. Starting at around $300, chairs are more adjustable and built with high-quality materials. And at $1,000, there are more color and accessory options and even higher-end materials and finer adjustments for lumbar support.</li><li><strong>Warranty:</strong> Though a typical no-name chair might be covered for one or two years, most high-end chairs come with at least a 10-year warranty. We look for office chairs that come with a warranty of at least five years, but preferably longer. Expensive chairs also have warranties that cover just about anything that breaks, whereas the warranties for cheaper chairs don’t cover normal wear and tear.</li><li><strong>Appearance:</strong> We prioritize comfort over appearance, but not everyone will be happy with the bland blacks and grays of most office furniture. We ask our panelists what they think about the aesthetics of each chair they try; we consider fabric choice, color, and other customization options to be a bonus.</li></ul><p>Based on our conversations with ergonomists, we avoided two types of chairs entirely:</p><ul><li><strong>Executive-style chairs:</strong> Physiotherapist and seating historian <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jennifer_Pynt/info" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Jenny Pynt</a> told us to avoid “executive-style” chairs, those that “force your upper spine, that part between the shoulder blades, forward.” You should choose something that’s supporting your back, not sculpting it.</li><li><strong>Chairs that lack backrests or have partial backrests: </strong>Pynt also warned us against stools and other seats without backrests, at least as full-time accommodations, “because no matter how virtuous you are, you will slump.”</li></ul><p>In our testing, each panelist evaluates chairs on the above criteria using a modified version of this <a href="http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/Pub/AHquest/seatingevalv21.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ergonomic seating evaluation form (PDF)</a> from Cornell University. And each panelist evaluates the chairs on all of the criteria, on a scale from 0 (unacceptable) to 10 (excellent).</p><p>Testers assess comfort, body support, adjustability, and durability, and they sit in the chairs while typing at computers, playing video games, writing emails, sitting through meetings, and just leaning back to think.</p><p>We’ve also gathered long-term testing notes on the chairs staffers were using for months in our offices.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03" id="our-pick-steelcase-gesture"><h2 class="e823fba7" aria-controls="our-pick-steelcase-gesture-panel" aria-selected="true" tabindex="0" data-gtm-element="chapter_heading" data-gtm-trigger="single_chapter" data-chapter-name="Our pick: Steelcase Gesture" data-expand-close="close" data-chapter-index="4">Our pick: Steelcase Gesture</h2><div id="our-pick-steelcase-gesture-panel" class="fa265be5" aria-labelledby="our-pick-steelcase-gesture" aria-hidden="false"><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_178677" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image" style="padding-bottom:66.70%;display:inline"><img alt="Steelcase Gesture Office Chair (Graphite)" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/11/officechairs-2048px-5976.jpg" width="2048" height="1366" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-178677" loading="lazy"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Kyle Fitzgerald</span></figcaption></figure></div><div class="ebb615ab global-cob eaaa9459 e1e566ad d097cc30" data-scp="callout"><h4 class="d02b79e1 e20b6350" data-scp="callout_label">Top pick</h4><div id="callout-chapter-1-1" class="fd1ac384" data-scp="callout_item" data-testid="callout" data-pid="5706"><span class="ddf294c5"><div class="fabe3ad3"><div class="e14704b2" role="button" tabindex="0" data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="5706"><span aria-label="Save Product" class="a478f5d2 " data-gtm-trigger="save_product" data-save-content-value="true" data-save-content-id="5706"></span></div></div></span><div class="f1cabe17"><div class="f31f6df1"><div class="efc734d0 eae76d54"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/5706/136779/4/123134?merchant=Steelcase" class="fa8c1483 product-merchant-link-button" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" data-store="Steelcase" data-vars-store="Steelcase" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/5706/136779/4/123134?merchant=Steelcase" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_image" data-scp="removed" tabindex="-1" data-pid="5706" data-gtm-context="inline"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image"><img alt="" itemProp="image" data-src="https://d1b5h9psu9yexj.cloudfront.net/5706/Steelcase-Gesture_20231005-184418_full.jpeg" width="570" height="380" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce" loading="lazy"/></div></a></div><div class="ce2bb787"><div><h3 class="b550f131 e26624a1 a1a87f29"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/5706/136779/4/123134?merchant=Steelcase" class="dfb6b88d" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Steelcase Gesture" data-gtm-element="callout_product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Steelcase" data-pick-type-id="1" data-pid="5706" data-store="Steelcase" data-vars-store="Steelcase" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/5706/136779/4/123134?merchant=Steelcase" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_name" data-scp="callout_product" data-gtm-context="inline">Steelcase Gesture</a></h3><h2 class="eafb159a"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/5706/136779/4/123134?merchant=Steelcase" class="c44f6873" rel="sponsored noreferrer" target="_blank" title="The best office chair" data-store="Steelcase" data-vars-store="Steelcase" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/5706/136779/4/123134?merchant=Steelcase" data-gtm-trigger="callout_product_link_title" data-scp="callout_title" data-pid="5706" data-gtm-context="inline">The best office chair</a></h2></div><p class="ec57f3ca" data-scp="callout_description">This is one of the most adjustable chairs available—anyone can make it comfortable, regardless of their height or size.

And they said that compared with seat cushions on similar chairs, the Gesture’s cushion hit the right balance of firmness and plushness; it was far better than seat cushions on budget chairs, which were almost-like-sitting-on-a-wooden-chair firm.</p><p>Wirecutter staffers who own the Gesture have confirmed that the cushion, back padding, and armrests are as comfortable after five years of heavy use as they were on day one.</p><p><strong>It’s versatile, supportive, and packed with features.</strong> This chair is comfortable across multiple tasks, as confirmed by our testing panel, which included writers, editors, and photographers with different body types.</p><p>This chair’s lumbar and back support are on a par with that of other chairs in this price range—in other words, excellent. But the Gesture stands out due to how comfortable it is to recline in and how easy it is to vary your position. The backs on most other chairs tilt when you recline, but the Gesture’s back is designed to flex, as well, since your spine has a different shape when you’re reclining versus when you’re sitting up straight.</p><p>Our testers agreed that the Gesture’s recline experience was one of the most comfortable among all the chairs we tested. That’s because the Gesture retains the recline angle, so you don’t have to continue pushing back with your feet or your core to maintain that angle (as you must do with most other chairs).</p><figure id="attachment_116337" class="caption alignnone"><div aria-hidden="true" data-scp="gif" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/steelcase-aeron-lean-back-compare-570.gif"></div><div style="padding-top:113.68421052631578%" class="dec011b9" data-testid="video-wrapper"><div class="bffeebde"><div></div></div></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> When you lean back in the Steelcase Gesture (top), the back of the chair moves and bends with you, but the seat stays relatively flat.

And in our testing, over years of heavy use, the Gesture has proved sturdy.</p><p>The Gesture is undeniably expensive. But if you don’t care about getting specific colors (the customized version offers more than 70 fabric options plus six leather ones), you can often find this chair for less than $500 at office liquidators online or locally. You lose the warranty if you buy the chair used, but the savings may make the trade-off worth it.</p><h3>Flaws but not dealbreakers</h3><ul><li>If you run hot, work in an office without air conditioning, or live in a warm part of the world, the Gesture may not be the best chair for you because the foam and fabric don’t breathe well. All of our other picks have mesh backs, which are much more breathable and also less likely to collect lint.</li><li>The Gesture is not the ergonomic revolution that Steelcase’s marketing materials suggest: Fancy armrests aside, most ergonomic task chairs in the $1,000 to $1,500 range will have similar features and back support. What sets the Gesture apart is that it excels for those who want to recline with little effort, switch tasks throughout the day, or easily make adjustments to fine-tune the fit.</li><li>This chair weighs over 70 pounds, which can be annoying if you want to move it around your home office. But that also makes it super sturdy.</li></ul><h3>How the Steelcase Gesture has held up</h3><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_304649" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="" src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2022/09/officechairs-2048px-steelcase-LTT.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce alignnone size-full wp-image-304649"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text">  <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Michael Hession</span></figcaption></figure></div><p>It has held up incredibly well in terms of parts and materials, especially considering I treat my chair kind of like a sofa. I’m 6-foot-4 and shift my weight around a lot. All of the movements are great and super helpful. Minor criticism: It’s super heavy. Also, the center column sits very close to the floor, meaning there’s not a lot of clearance if you have a thicker rug or need to roll over something on occasion. —Michael Hession, Wirecutter’s director of photography, owner of the Steelcase Gesture since 2020</p><p>I sit in the Steelcase Gesture for my full workday and sometimes for hours after to play PC games, and it's held up great under thousands of hours of sitting. In October 2021—at least 6 years and more than 10,000 hours of sitting—I noticed that the seat felt stiff, especially compared to my partner's comparatively new Gesture. I reached out to customer support to ask for a replacement part, and after sending in a video of the seat's condition, they shipped me a seat replacement for free under the chair's lifetime warranty. The new seat took maybe 5 minutes to install, and it made the whole chair feel brand new. — Kimber Streams, Wirecutter senior staff writer, owner of the Steelcase Gesture since 2015.</p><div><div

And it may be a more comfortable option than the <a href="#our-pick-steelcase-gesture">Steelcase Gesture</a> for people who run hot, thanks to its mesh seat and back.</p><p><strong>Its mesh design is surprisingly supportive.</strong> Some of our testers likened using the Aeron to sitting in a hammock, since the springy material almost suspends you as you sit.</p><p>The mesh seat and back make the Aeron a better option than foam upholstered chairs for those who live in a warm climate or sweat easily.</p><p><strong>It’s not as adjustable as the Gesture, but it’s still more customizable than most chairs.</strong> First, the good: The Aeron has most of the ergonomic adjustments we want to see in a high-end chair, including a fully adjustable lumbar-support system and arms that go up and down and angle in and out.</p><p>However, it falls short of the Gesture in several key ways. The Aeron’s armrests aren’t as adjustable, and reclining isn’t as effortless. You cannot adjust the seat depth, either, and the arm height is a pain to change. This may be especially frustrating to people who switch tasks throughout the day.</p><p><strong>It comes in three sizes to suit different body types.</strong> Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the Aeron <a href="https://www.hermanmiller.com/content/dam/hermanmiller/documents/product_literature/other/ap_sizefitref_aeron_chairs.pdf" rel="noopener" target="_blank">comes in different sizes (PDF)</a>, labeled A, B, and C. The sizes roughly correlate to ascending height and weight ranges, and even though you might not find a size that fits you perfectly, you should still look at the size chart and consider what makes sense for you.</p><p>One of our testers, right on the cusp of sizes B (medium) and C (large) in the chart, found the size B chair far too narrow, and the recline was too easy to push back accidentally. When in doubt, we recommend sizing up.</p><div class="f669362e"><figure id="attachment_169829" class="caption alignnone"><div class="ec5f8867 global_chapter__arp_image b71ff2c5"><img loading="lazy" alt="A close up of the underside of the Aeron office chair." src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024" data-srcset="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024 1024w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=1.5 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=1024&dpr=2 2048w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980 980w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=1.5 1470w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=980&dpr=2 1960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768 768w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=1.5 1152w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=768&dpr=2 1536w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=1.5 720w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=480&dpr=2 960w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320 320w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=1.5 480w,https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2020/09/officechairs-2048px-5994.jpg?auto=webp&quality=75&width=320&dpr=2 640w" width="2048" height="1365" class="cf3feb4c c882c9ce size-full wp-image-169829"/></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> The PostureFit SL option offers two lumbar-support adjustments—lower and upper—so it’s easier to dial in just the right level of support than on most chairs. <span class="caption-text caption-credit">Photo: Kyle Fitzgerald</span></figcaption></figure></div><p><strong>It’s ideal for desk work, and it enforces proper posture.</strong> Try to sit with your legs crossed in an Aeron, and you’ll immediately find it uncomfortable.

Our panelists remarked that the gray (called “mineral”) model we tested looked less monolithic than the black version, and they thought it might blend in better in some homes. You can also splurge on options, such as a polished or satin aluminum frame, to spruce it up a little.</p><p><strong>It has a long warranty and excellent durability, and it’s widely available.</strong> The Aeron comes with a <a href="https://www.hermanmiller.com/customer-service/warranty-and-service/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">12-year warranty</a> covering all repairs and parts. Many of these parts are easy to replace yourself; unlike the Gesture (which hides its moving parts), the Aeron wears its skeleton proudly. It’s easy to see the exact bolts you need to remove to replace a piece.</p><p>Compared with the Gesture, the Aeron feels much more durable and harder to break—it’s mostly metal, hard plastic, and mesh. (Wirecutter editor Thorin Klosowski has had a classic Aeron for over a decade and has moved with it many times, including twice to different states, and it still looks brand new.)</p><p>Because the Aeron is so popular, you can often find older or lightly used ones at a substantial discount from office liquidators or even on Craigslist.</p></div></section><section class="b6d81848 d47f7b03"

But it does offer the basic ergonomic customization most people need—especially if you get the optional adjustable armrests (which can slide up or down, in or out, or diagonally inward or outward).</p><p>The Sayl offers tilt tension and distance adjustment, but it takes a few turns of the tension knob before you really notice a change. And one of our size C testers found it was too easy to lean all the way back in this chair.</p><p>Most people will find that the Sayl’s fixed seat depth (16 inches) supports their thighs well enough. But if you need adjustability, an adjustable-depth option lets you push the seat out to 18 inches (for about $800 more).</p><p><strong>It’s comfortable for all-day sitting.</strong> The rubber mesh back moves and stretches with you as you shift into it, and as the day goes on, it provides plenty of support for the S-shaped curve of your spine. Our smaller testers especially liked this chair.</p><p>You can purchase an optional adjustable lumbar-support control that slides up and down on the back. However, most of our testers found this piece to be unnecessary because the Sayl naturally forces you to sit upright.</p><p>The seat is upholstered in high-quality fabric, and it has a firm cushion that feels like it will last a long time. But if you prefer a softer, cushier seat, the <a href="#our-pick-steelcase-gesture">Steelcase Gesture</a> would be a better option for you.</p><figure id="attachment_116333" class="caption alignnone"><div aria-hidden="true" data-scp="gif" data-src="https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/sayl-arm-adjustment-570-6063.gif"></div><div style="padding-top:56.315789473684205%" class="dec011b9" data-testid="video-wrapper"><div class="bffeebde"><div></div></div></div><figcaption class="caption-text"> There’s less arm adjustability on Herman Miller’s Sayl Chair than on the Aeron Chair or the Steelcase Gesture.

(It’s so distinctive-looking that it was <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2012/04/designing-the-hunger-games/255317/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">even used in <em>The Hunger Games</em></a>.) You can pick from among several colors for the back mesh, base, and seat fabric.</p><p>Of course, design is a matter of personal preference. Some panelists loved the “alien/space-age” look of the chair while others hated it.

It’s comfortable to sit in, and it offers the best lumbar support of any chair we’ve tested under $500.</p><p><strong>It’s more durable than other chairs at this price.</strong> The Ignition 2.0’s materials feel more durable and of a higher quality than those of similarly priced competitors, and it has less wobbly armrests and smoother-rolling casters.</p><p><strong>It’s the most comfortable budget chair we’ve tested.</strong> The seat cushion is thick and soft, and you don’t have to break it in. At the end of a long day, it still feels supportive, unlike too-soft seats that you’d sink into over time.</p><p>Compared with the back on the <a href="#runner-up-herman-miller-aeron-chair">Aeron</a> (which has a tight weave that feels like a trampoline for your posterior), the back on the Ignition 2.0 feels more like a camping chair you sink into. And we think the Ignition 2.0’s armrests, which consist of a soft plastic with light cushioning, will last a while.</p><p>Although the Ignition 2.0 doesn’t compare in overall comfort to the <a href="#our-pick-steelcase-gesture">Steelcase Gesture</a> or the Aeron, it at least gets all the basics right.</p><p><strong>Its lumbar support really works.</strong> Most office chairs claim to offer lumbar support, but more often than not it’s nonexistent. The Ignition 2.0’s optional adjustable lumbar support actually works and is noticeable: When our testers moved the back support up or down, it stayed in place and provided extra support where they needed it.</p><p><strong>It offers lots of other adjustments.</strong> You can move the seat depth in and out, change the seat height, and telescope the arms up and down as well as away from or toward your torso.</p><p>The arms don’t go down as far as those on the Gesture, the Aeron, or the <a href="#also-great-herman-miller-sayl-chair">Sayl</a>.

And it even has some unusual features, such as armrests that can spin 360 degrees, an inflatable lumbar-support cushion, and a built-in adjustable headrest.</p><p>We don’t love the lateral armrest adjustment: It doesn’t have a lock and thus tends to slip under the hands when you’re standing up from the chair. But you can opt for armrests that just swivel and lift (and save some money in the process).</p><p>The tCentric Hybrid is generally less expensive than a comparably equipped <a href="#our-pick-steelcase-gesture">Steelcase Gesture</a> or <a href="#runner-up-herman-miller-aeron-chair">Herman Miller Aeron</a>. But this chair doesn’t have the Gesture’s cleverly designed recline mechanism or the Aeron’s iconic looks, and ergoCentric lacks the long-standing reputations of those companies.</p><p><strong>If you want Steelcase’s most attractive ergonomic feature in a less-expensive chair: </strong>Check out the <a class="product-link" href="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56022/190846/4/163143/?merchant=Steelcase" rel="noopener sponsored" target="_blank" data-gtm-trigger="product_link" data-store="Steelcase" data-vars-outbound-link="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56022/190846/4/163143/?merchant=Steelcase" data-vars-store="Steelcase" data-gtm-context="chapter_other-good-office-chairs" data-gtm-element="product_link_impression" data-link-type="link" data-merchant="Steelcase" data-pid="56022" data-url="https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/56022/190846/4/163143/?merchant=Steelcase">Steelcase Karman</a>.</p><p>This lightweight mesh chair has a design that’s a bit like the <a href="#runner-up-herman-miller-aeron-chair">Herman Miller Aeron</a>, with its solid frame and scalloped seat.

But starting at $550, it costs much more than Branch’s own $350 <a href="#other-good-office-chairs">Ergonomic Chair</a>, which offers a wider range of ergonomic adjustments and can be outfitted with a head rest. We found the seat’s gentle forward slope (which Branch told us is an ergonomic feature) slightly unsettling, since it gave us the vague feeling that we were about to slide off. And we didn’t like the arm design, either. If you pull on an arm (say, to move the chair), it easily extends to its full height. The problem is, this is also how you unlock the arm, which sends it sliding all the way back down to its lowest position.

We also consult ergonomics experts to get advice on what to look for in an office chair that would best support your body for short or long periods of sitting. We use the following criteria to decide which chairs to test: \tComfort: Finding the perfect, most comfortable office chair is a subjective endeavor that also depends on the type of work you do, your body size, and how you sit. Although many office chairs have a 300-pound weight limit, most of our picks have 350- or 400-pound capacities, and in our latest round of testing, our panelists included paid testers who have above-average heights and weights. We evaluated office chairs based on seat, backrest, and armrest comfort. How we felt after we got up from a chair was just as important as how we felt while we were sitting. \tLumbar and back support: Because people have different torso lengths and lumbar curvatures, adjustability is key, according to professor Alan Hedge, an ergonomics expert. A good backrest will support you regardless of how you sit. \tEase of reclining: Reclining is important for “sustainable sitting,” according to our experts, because you can move your body a bit more while you’re seated. \tAdjustability: A more-adjustable chair ensures a better fit for a wider range of bodies—and it’s more likely you’ll be happy with the chair you buy. Good chairs offer adjustable seat height, arm height, tilt, and seat depth. The best chairs allow you to customize the tilt distance and the amount of force needed to lean the chair back. \tDurability and materials: A lot of minor things can go wrong with a chair—the arms could come loose, a knob could crack, or a piece might break off entirely. Cheaper chairs are notorious for developing weird squeaks and creaking sounds over time. Seat cushions in particular can give out quickly, with the cheaper foam leaving you with an office chair that feels saggy. For those who like to move around while working, caster quality is also important. \tPrice: Office chairs below $200 are made with cheaper plastic and metal, tend to have fixed armrests and seat depths, and usually look bland and have inferior warranties. Starting at around $300, chairs are more adjustable and built with high-quality materials. And at $1,000, there are more color and accessory options and even higher-end materials and finer adjustments for lumbar support. \tWarranty: Though a typical no-name chair might be covered for one or two years, most high-end chairs come with at least a 10-year warranty. We look for office chairs that come with a warranty of at least five years, but preferably longer. Expensive chairs also have warranties that cover just about anything that breaks, whereas the warranties for cheaper chairs don’t cover normal wear and tear. \tAppearance: We prioritize comfort over appearance, but not everyone will be happy with the bland blacks and grays of most office furniture. We ask our panelists what they think about the aesthetics of each chair they try; we consider fabric choice, color, and other customization options to be a bonus. Based on our conversations with ergonomists, we avoided two types of chairs entirely: \tExecutive-style chairs: Physiotherapist and seating historian Jenny Pynt told us to avoid “executive-style” chairs, those that “force your upper spine, that part between the shoulder blades, forward.” You should choose something that’s supporting your back, not sculpting it. \tChairs that lack backrests or have partial backrests: Pynt also warned us against stools and other seats without backrests, at least as full-time accommodations, “because no matter how virtuous you are, you will slump.” In our testing, each panelist evaluates chairs on the above criteria using a modified version of this ergonomic seating evaluation form (PDF) from Cornell University. And each panelist evaluates the chairs on all of the criteria, on a scale from 0 (unacceptable) to 10 (excellent). Testers assess comfort, body support, adjustability, and durability, and they sit in the chairs while typing at computers, playing video games, writing emails, sitting through meetings, and just leaning back to think.

And it may be a more comfortable option than the Steelcase Gesture for people who run hot, thanks to its mesh seat and back. Its mesh design is surprisingly supportive. Some of our testers likened using the Aeron to sitting in a hammock, since the springy material almost suspends you as you sit. The mesh seat and back make the Aeron a better option than foam upholstered chairs for those who live in a warm climate or sweat easily. It’s not as adjustable as the Gesture, but it’s still more customizable than most chairs. First, the good: The Aeron has most of the ergonomic adjustments we want to see in a high-end chair, including a fully adjustable lumbar-support system and arms that go up and down and angle in and out. However, it falls short of the Gesture in several key ways. The Aeron’s armrests aren’t as adjustable, and reclining isn’t as effortless. You cannot adjust the seat depth, either, and the arm height is a pain to change. This may be especially frustrating to people who switch tasks throughout the day. It comes in three sizes to suit different body types. Rather than a one-size-fits-all approach, the Aeron comes in different sizes (PDF), labeled A, B, and C. The sizes roughly correlate to ascending height and weight ranges, and even though you might not find a size that fits you perfectly, you should still look at the size chart and consider what makes sense for you. One of our testers, right on the cusp of sizes B (medium) and C (large) in the chart, found the size B chair far too narrow, and the recline was too easy to push back accidentally. When in doubt, we recommend sizing up. It’s ideal for desk work, and it enforces proper posture. Try to sit with your legs crossed in an Aeron, and you’ll immediately find it uncomfortable.

It’s adjustable enough for most people. The Sayl doesn’t have the less common adjustments you’d get with the Steelcase Gesture. But it does offer the basic ergonomic customization most people need—especially if you get the optional adjustable armrests (which can slide up or down, in or out, or diagonally inward or outward). The Sayl offers tilt tension and distance adjustment, but it takes a few turns of the tension knob before you really notice a change. And one of our size C testers found it was too easy to lean all the way back in this chair. Most people will find that the Sayl’s fixed seat depth (16 inches) supports their thighs well enough. But if you need adjustability, an adjustable-depth option lets you push the seat out to 18 inches (for about $800 more). It’s comfortable for all-day sitting. The rubber mesh back moves and stretches with you as you shift into it, and as the day goes on, it provides plenty of support for the S-shaped curve of your spine. Our smaller testers especially liked this chair. You can purchase an optional adjustable lumbar-support control that slides up and down on the back. However, most of our testers found this piece to be unnecessary because the Sayl naturally forces you to sit upright. The seat is upholstered in high-quality fabric, and it has a firm cushion that feels like it will last a long time. But if you prefer a softer, cushier seat, the Steelcase Gesture would be a better option for you. It stands out in a crowd. The Sayl’s unframed rubber back has an unusual look that catches the eye. (It’s so distinctive-looking that it was even used in The Hunger Games.) You can pick from among several colors for the back mesh, base, and seat fabric. Of course, design is a matter of personal preference. Some panelists loved the “alien/space-age” look of the chair while others hated it. During testing, we referred to the Sayl as the Tron chair. It has the same durability and long warranty as the Aeron. This chair is made of softer plastics and has less metal than the Aeron, but it comes with the same 12-year warranty and will still hold up over time. We’ve been regularly using Sayl chairs since 2018, and they have generally maintained their smooth adjustments and looks, though the arm movements can be clunky on occasion. In testing, we were concerned about the plastic back ripping, but it has been remarkably sturdy.

Although the Ignition 2.0 doesn’t compare in overall comfort to the Steelcase Gesture or the Aeron, it at least gets all the basics right. Its lumbar support really works. Most office chairs claim to offer lumbar support, but more often than not it’s nonexistent. The Ignition 2.0’s optional adjustable lumbar support actually works and is noticeable: When our testers moved the back support up or down, it stayed in place and provided extra support where they needed it. It offers lots of other adjustments. You can move the seat depth in and out, change the seat height, and telescope the arms up and down as well as away from or toward your torso. The arms don’t go down as far as those on the Gesture, the Aeron, or the Sayl. But many other budget chairs provide no armrest adjustments at all (which some of our testers noted as a dealbreaker, after sitting in 10 different chairs). Because of its higher-than-average minimum seat height, this chair is not a great fit if you’re petite. One 5-foot-2 tester found it impossible to keep her feet flat on the floor while sitting in the chair at its lowest height. A footrest easily solves that problem, albeit at an added cost. It has stylish, minimalist good looks, and it comes in different materials and sizes. The Ignition 2.0 looks less boxy than competing budget-priced chairs, and it’s available with a gray or black mesh back. HON offers different task chairs in the Ignition series: the mesh-back Ignition 2.0, which we tested; the Ignition, which is a fully upholstered chair; and a Big and Tall Ignition, which supports up to 450 pounds but usually costs more than double the price of the Ignition 2.0. It’s well built and has a solid warranty. The Ignition 2.0 comes with a limited lifetime warranty that covers defective materials or workmanship. But it doesn’t cover minor parts wearing out (as the Steelcase and Herman Miller warranties do). That said, the Ignition 2.0 seems like it will be a little more durable than most chairs in this price range. The frame is mostly hard, matte plastic, and the casters roll smoothly. And the seat cushion is covered with a thick woven fabric (though it’s obviously less premium, with a looser weave, than that of the Gesture).

The chair we tested has a wide range of ergonomic adjustments. And it even has some unusual features, such as armrests that can spin 360 degrees, an inflatable lumbar-support cushion, and a built-in adjustable headrest. We don’t love the lateral armrest adjustment: It doesn’t have a lock and thus tends to slip under the hands when you’re standing up from the chair. But you can opt for armrests that just swivel and lift (and save some money in the process). The tCentric Hybrid is generally less expensive than a comparably equipped Steelcase Gesture or Herman Miller Aeron. But this chair doesn’t have the Gesture’s cleverly designed recline mechanism or the Aeron’s iconic looks, and ergoCentric lacks the long-standing reputations of those companies. If you want Steelcase’s most attractive ergonomic feature in a less-expensive chair: Check out the Steelcase Karman. This lightweight mesh chair has a design that’s a bit like the Herman Miller Aeron, with its solid frame and scalloped seat. It also boasts the same flexible reclining experience as the Steelcase Gesture, but starts at $850 (at this writing), undercutting the Gesture by at least $250. It has fewer adjustments overall than the Gesture. You raise or lower the seat, and can get it with height-adjustable or four-way adjustable armrests, as well as optional added lumbar support. For most people, these will be enough. But if you need more, consider our Steelcase or Herman Miller picks. We found it comfortable, cool, and supportive to sit in, though the rubberized seat frame may annoy people who like to sit cross-legged. Like the Aeron, this is a chair that teaches you how to sit properly, whether you like it or not. If you want a mesh chair with a headrest and highly adjustable lumbar support: The Razer Fujin Pro is worth a look. Billed as a “fully adjustable mesh gaming and desk chair” by gaming company Razer, the Fujin Pro can support you for long stints of gameplay or work (or both). Its all-mesh design begs a comparison with the Herman Miller Aeron or the Steelcase Gesture; the Fujin Pro stands out mostly for its included headrest for neck and head support while reclining and height- and depth-adjustable lumbar support. We found it easy to dial the lumbar support inwards or outwards to customize its comfort, and although the armrests don’t have as much range of motion as the Steelcase Gesture, we appreciated the locks on the Fujin Pro to keep the armrests in place. The chair doesn’t offer as snug of a fit as the Aeron, which is a matter of preference, and one panelist (6-foot-6 and over 300 pounds) said the back edge of the seat was uncomfortable for him. The Fujin Pro has a relatively short 5-year warranty for a chair that costs over $1,000. If you want an extra roomy seat and support for up to 400 pounds: Take a look at the Staples Driscott Ergonomic Fabric Managers Big \u0026amp; Tall Chair. This chair’s seat is a couple of inches wider and deeper than our picks and other chairs we’ve tested (it measures 23.6 inches wide by 19.9 inches deep). That made it an instant hit with our testers who are above average in height and weight (for men, average is: 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds; for women: 5-foot-4 and 171 pounds), as well as panelists who said they often like to sit cross-legged at their desks. We found the seat to be plushy and comfortable, although the armrests were not as comfortable as other chairs because of its minimal padding. Adjustments on the chair are minimal as well: the seat and arms go up and down, and the lumbar support has a depth dial that didn’t make any noticeable difference. Like the Steelcase Gesture, the Driscott has a relatively high 400-pound weight capacity. This budget chair also offers a limited lifetime warranty, but note that Staples’ furniture return window is 14 days. If you want a more-stylish budget chair and can live with wiggly armrests: The Branch Ergonomic Chair is another option worth considering. This chair has a thick, well-padded seat, like on the HON Ignition 2.0. And, like the Fully Desk Chair, it has premium design features, including an aluminum base and a few different color options for the frame and seat. But even though we liked this chair’s solid lumbar support, its armrests were wobblier than those on other chairs in its price range.","title":"Other good office chairs","slug":"other-good-office-chairs","chapterModifiedDate":null,"chapterPublishedDate":null,"faqs":null,"footnotes":null,"sources":null},{"body":[{"type":"tag","name":"p","attribs":{},"children":[{"data":"We’re expecting new, yet-to-be-publicly-announced ergonomic chairs from Branch and Allseating in the near future.

But starting at $550, it costs much more than Branch’s own $350 Ergonomic Chair, which offers a wider range of ergonomic adjustments and can be outfitted with a head rest. We found the seat’s gentle forward slope (which Branch told us is an ergonomic feature) slightly unsettling, since it gave us the vague feeling that we were about to slide off. And we didn’t like the arm design, either. If you pull on an arm (say, to move the chair), it easily extends to its full height. The problem is, this is also how you unlock the arm, which sends it sliding all the way back down to its lowest position. For us, at least, that meant we were constantly readjusting the arms to our preferred height. We had a similar experience comparing the Hon Nucleus to its sibling and our budget pick, the HON Ignition 2.0—the more expensive Nucleus didn’t seem to offer significant advantages over the Ignition 2.0 except for coming in a couple of pleasant, neutral colorways. The Nucleus’s foam seat sits on a mesh-covered frame, which the company says offers a hammock-like feel; it’s comfortable to sit in especially if you like firmer support, but we didn’t experience the implied suspended bliss of the seat design. We weren’t able to test the Shaquille O’Neal Nereus Executive Chair, which has a high 400-pound weight limit and tall maximum seat height to accommodate basketball players or people as big as them. The chair arrived with a broken seat handle; we were also concerned about the bonded leather’s durability. The Hon Ignition 2.0 Big \u0026amp; Tall Task Chair came with a missing chair lift cylinder, so we were unable to test that as well. We found the FlexiSpot C7’s seat comfortable, but the chair was more difficult to adjust than our picks, its protruding lumbar support section was awkward to sit against, the fold-out footrest felt flimsy, and the chair rolled everywhere on its own while we were sitting in it. The X-Chair X3 ATR Management Chair with Elemax has a lot of interesting-sounding features, but it’s just an okay chair. The backrest and lumbar support didn’t adjust high enough, and they were prone to slipping out of position. There’s a free kit that allows users to screw the lumbar support in place (video), but this seems like a less-than-ideal solution for a chair that’s nearly $1,000. Testers also found that the dual-mode massage function didn’t work very well. The All33 BackStrong C1 Chair (now replaced by the similar Axion) is the most unusual chair we’ve ever tested, with a seat and a lower-back area that pivot separately from the upper-back area—a design created by a chiropractor to support and encourage movement of “all 33” vertebrae in your lower spine. This was effective in engaging our core muscles when we moved in the chair. But the construction is plasticky, and the armrests aren’t adjustable. And it has a high minimum seat height, so this chair isn’t suitable for people who are under about 5-foot-8. The HON Convergence’s seat is too squishy, with thin fabric, and its mid- to upper-back support was not as good as that of the HON Ignition 2.0. The HON Exposure is a fine chair, but the Ignition 2.0 has a more comfortable seat, better lumbar support, a higher weight capacity, and a less-boxy design for about the same retail price. The Herman Miller Cosm Chair (available in low-, mid-, and high-back versions) is designed to shift and move with you. It costs about the same as the Aeron, and our panelists scored it well for comfort, back support, ease of reclining, and overall appearance. But in all those categories, the Aeron still edged out the Cosm by a hair. The Steelcase Silq’s design philosophy is similar to that of the Herman Miller Cosm. But we found the Silq to be less comfortable than other, comparable chairs to sit in for long periods of time. One size C tester found that the Silq pushed them forward in an uncomfortable way and that the armrests dug into them. Humanscale’s Freedom Task Chair is compact and offers plenty of finishes, but our panelists rated it just average across most of the categories, including comfort, back support, and adjustment ease. It also has a very firm seat. The Autonomous ErgoChair 2 (now called the ErgoChair Pro) combines a mesh back and a foam seat for a relatively low price, yet it was our panelists’ least favorite chair. One tester said that sitting in it for 90 minutes “felt like an eternity,” and another remarked that this chair might motivate them to get a standing desk. The back pushes you forward more than is natural, the headrest is uncomfortable, and the adjustments are difficult to control. IKEA’s Hattefjäll comes in gray, pink, or white and has a fun, curvy design. But we found the foam seat too firm and potentially prone to collecting excess dust, lint, and other detritus. Because of its size, this chair is also best suited to petite people. The AmazonBasics Mid-Back Mesh Office Chair is the least expensive model we’ve tested, with fixed armrests and a one-year warranty. Our petite-size testers had difficulty sitting in this chair comfortably and getting full back support because of the seat-pan depth. Others complained about the firm seat and the limited recline. Ultimately, we think you’re better off saving for a more comfortable chair that will last longer. The Steelcase Leap is an excellent chair with ample adjustments and a comfortable back. But most of our testers didn’t find anything about the Leap that separated it from the Steelcase Gesture or the Herman Miller Aeron. The Haworth Fern was the favorite of a couple of testers. But because of its high back, others couldn’t get comfortable in it, no matter how hard they tried. Herman Miller’s Embody Chair is a strange-looking model, yet it’s comfortable, highly adjustable, and high-tech. However, its starting price is even higher than the Gesture’s, and it lacks the Gesture’s arm adjustability and fabric variety. The Herman Miller Mirra 2 Chair is a good office model, and it’s priced comparably to the Aeron. But we think the Aeron is a better chair, with a more comfortable seat and better tilt controls. The Steelcase Amia ranked highly for some testers, but its unremarkable design and limited features keep it from truly excelling. The Steelcase Think is similar to the Amia in that none of our testers found it terrible, yet only one person put it in their top three. It’s inoffensive, and because it has a mesh back, it will be breathable in the heat. However, we think most people should get the similarly priced Gesture instead. Some testers found the Knoll ReGeneration uncomfortable to sit in: They complained about the back of the chair pushing awkwardly on their lower spine. Others found the recline, which shoves your crotch into the air as you push back, a little awkward. None of our testers liked the Steelcase Series 1. They complained that it was too short, the arms were too tall, and it was generally uncomfortable to sit in for longer than a couple of hours at a time. The IKEA Markus was universally reviled by our testing panel. Shorter testers said the high back made them feel like a kid sitting on a throne, while taller testers said the non-adjustable arms were far too low to be comfortable. As part of our ongoing mission to recommend high-quality office chairs at different prices, we have considered a number of chairs under $300 that met our criteria for adjustability (lumbar support, height, seat depth, armrest, and tilt/tension) and that also had a warranty of at least five years. We dismissed the Staples Hyken Mesh Task Chair and the Office Star ProGrid Mesh Manager’s Chair for the lack of seat-depth adjustability. And we eliminated the Staples Kroy Mesh/Fabric Task Chair and the TribeSigns T18 Ergonomic Office Chair over concerns about a limited seat-height range (3 inches) or a too-high minimum seat height (over 18 inches).
