Haworth Fern review

The reviewer tested the Fern and found that while online reviews praised its lower lumbar support as aggressive, they felt it wasn't as supportive as claimed and didn't match the build quality of the Aeron. However, they did find the Fern's lower lumbar support to be better than the Steelcase Gesture. The chair is recommended as a better choice than the Gesture if you have lumbar issues, though it doesn't quite reach Aeron quality levels. Overall the reviewer chose not to purchase it in favor of returning to the Aeron.

Pros

  • Better lower lumbar support than Steelcase Gesture
  • Good choice if you have lumbar issues

Cons

  • Lower lumbar support not as aggressive as online reviews suggested
  • Build quality not as good as Herman Miller Aeron
