Haworth Zody II review

The reviewer has been using their Zody II for about two and a half years after buying it from a used office furniture store. They appreciate the mesh back staying cool in their non-air-conditioned home office during summer months. The lumbar support is good and adjustable, though they wish it had a bit more depth adjustment. The seat cushion has held up remarkably well with minimal compression despite daily use. They're a side-sleeper with some hip issues and find that the seat doesn't aggravate their hips the way some chairs do. The armrests are functional but not the best they've used - they can adjust height and width but feel a bit plasticky. Overall, it's been a reliable chair that has served them well, and they'd likely buy another if this one ever wears out.

Pros

  • Doesn't aggravate hip issues

  • Would purchase again

Cons
