Humanscale Diffrient Smart review
The commenter borrowed this chair from a friend for a few weeks to try it out. They really liked the form-sensing mesh back that automatically adjusts to your body position. The recline mechanism worked smoothly without any adjustments needed. However, they found the seat a bit narrow for their wider frame and the armrests didn't adjust enough for their preferences. The lack of manual lumbar adjustment was also a concern. It's a clever design but they needed something more customizable.
Pros
- Form-sensing mesh back auto-adjusts
- Smooth recline without adjustments
- Clever design
Cons
- Seat too narrow for wider frames
- Armrests don't adjust enough
- No manual lumbar adjustment
- Not customizable enough
