Haworth Zody II review

The reviewer has been using the Haworth Zody II for approximately two years after purchasing it refurbished for around $350. They specifically appreciate the adjustable lumbar support, which they find superior to many other chairs in the same price range. The mesh back provides good breathability, keeping them cool during long work sessions. They note that the seat depth adjustment is particularly helpful for their shorter legs, allowing them to sit comfortably without pressure on the back of their knees. However, they mention that the armrests feel somewhat flimsy and don't lock securely in position, which can be annoying. Overall, they consider it a solid mid-range ergonomic chair that has helped reduce their lower back pain significantly.

Pros

  • Adjustable lumbar support superior to competitors
  • Mesh back provides excellent breathability
  • Seat depth adjustment helpful for shorter users
  • Significantly reduced lower back pain
  • Good value when purchased refurbished

Cons

  • Armrests feel flimsy
  • Armrests don't lock securely in position
