Haworth Fern review

The commenter visited a Haworth showroom and tested the Fern alongside several other models. They found the Fern to be comfortable during their 20-minute test but noticed that the back height might be an issue for taller individuals. At 6'2", they felt the backrest didn't extend high enough to provide upper back support. The lumbar support was good and adjustable, but the overall back coverage was lacking for their frame. The seat was comfortable and appropriately sized. They ended up choosing a different model with a taller back. For average-height individuals, they think the Fern would work well, but taller people should definitely test it in person before purchasing. They appreciated the showroom staff's knowledge and lack of pressure to buy.

Pros

  • Comfortable during testing
  • Good adjustable lumbar support
  • Comfortable and appropriately sized seat

Cons

  • Backrest doesn't extend high enough for taller users (6'2"+)
  • Lacks upper back support for taller individuals
