Herman Miller Sayl review
The commenter has owned a Herman Miller Sayl for about a year and has mixed feelings about it. The design is striking and unique, with the suspension back creating an interesting aesthetic. However, they find the actual comfort doesn't match the visual appeal. The back support is adequate but the frameless design means it can feel flimsy compared to more traditional chairs. The lack of adjustable lumbar support is a significant limitation, and the fixed support doesn't align well with their back. The seat is comfortable enough but nothing special. Build quality seems good with no issues so far. They appreciate the smaller footprint compared to bulkier chairs, which works well for their limited space. Overall, they view it as more style than substance and wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless aesthetics are a priority.
