Haworth Fern review

This reviewer tested the Haworth Fern alongside the Steelcase Leap V2 before making a purchase decision. They found the Fern to be an attractive, well-designed chair with innovative features like the automatic lumbar support that adapts as you recline. The build quality seemed solid and the aesthetics were appealing. However, they ultimately chose the Leap because they preferred having manual control over the lumbar support rather than the automatic system. They also found the Leap's seat to be more comfortable for long sessions. The Fern felt slightly more style-focused while the Leap felt more purely functional. Both are quality chairs, but the Leap better matched their priorities.

  • Solid build quality
  • Appealing aesthetics

Cons
