Steelcase Karman review
A 6-month review of the Steelcase Karman chair with mixed user feedback. One user is very happy with the backrest but disappointed with build quality issues including burrs in hidden areas and white marks on surfaces. Another user who owned a Gesture is considering the Karman as a replacement.
Pros
- Backrest is very comfortable and well-received
- Considered as a viable alternative to the fully loaded Gesture
Cons
- Build quality issues with burrs in hidden areas that are difficult to clean
- Surfaces easily show white marks on armpad and seat frame
- Sharp edge at front of seat causes discomfort when standing up and pushing chair back
