Haworth Fern review

The poster is a student considering purchasing a Haworth Fern at an 80% employee discount through a friend who works at Haworth. They're torn between the Digital Knit and Faux Leather versions, owning both and preferring the feel of the Digital Knit while finding the leather looks softer. They're concerned about whether the leather will stretch and look saggy over time, whether the digital knit will last longer, and generally seeking advice on which version to choose. They note these are the two main knit options available for consideration.

Pros

  • Has employee discount making it affordable
  • Prefers the feeling of the Digital Knit version
  • Thinks the leather looks softer

Cons

  • Worried the leather will stretch and look saggy over time
  • Uncertain which version will last longer
  • Unsure about durability differences
