Steelcase Karman review
The commenter shares extensive experience purchasing used Steelcase Karman chairs, having bought multiple units. They describe a very positive experience where they got the full set with arms that customize both width and depth (4D arms). The chairs work well both at home and in their studio setting. They particularly appreciate how lightweight the design is compared to traditional mesh chairs - you can actually pick up and move the Karman easily, whereas with typical mesh chairs like the Aeron, you're stuck in one spot. They love the seat and find the Karman easy to slide around. The aesthetic is particularly praised - they consider it just as nice to look at as top-tier chairs like the Fern. The only small criticism is that they wish the back went a bit higher, though they acknowledge that would change the overall aesthetic and still find the seat and light feel of the chair to be excellent.
Pros
- 4D arms with customizable width and depth
- Very lightweight and easy to move around
- Excellent seat comfort
- Beautiful aesthetics comparable to premium chairs
- Easy to slide around on floor
Cons
- Back height could be slightly higher
