Haworth Fern review

The reviewer bought this chair two months ago after researching ergonomic options for under $500. They have a history of lower back problems and needed something that would provide proper support. The adjustable lumbar feature was a key selling point. After using it, they found that it does help with their back pain, though it took about two weeks to adjust to the new seating position. The mesh back is comfortable and doesn't trap heat. They like that they can easily adjust the height and tilt while seated. The seat cushion is firm but comfortable. The only downside they've found is that the adjustment levers are made of plastic and feel a bit cheap compared to the rest of the chair. Overall, they're happy with how it's helped their back issues.

Pros

  • Helps with back pain
  • Adjustable lumbar
  • Comfortable mesh
  • Easy to adjust while seated
  • Firm supportive seat

Cons

  • Plastic adjustment levers feel cheap
