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
