Steelcase Karman review
After 10 weeks with the Steelcase Karman, the reviewer calls it the best full mesh chair on the market. The innovative cushion under the seat mesh provides better support than typical mesh chairs while maintaining breathability. A small amount of designed 'play' in the base encourages movement to reduce fatigue.
Pros
- Best full mesh chair on the market with superior support compared to Aeron, Think, and competitors
- Innovative cushion under seat mesh provides better butt support than traditional mesh-only designs
- Incorporates best design elements from Steelcase Leap, Gesture, Think, and Cobi chairs
- Springy seat feel is well-executed
- Accommodates various sitting positions including cross-legged
- Designed movement in base reduces fatigue and encourages activity
Cons
- Quarter-inch of play in base where seat meets gas cylinder initially feels unstable or like something is wrong
