Steelcase Karman review

User received their Steelcase Karman and shares positive first impressions after a few hours of use. They find it more comfortable than an Aeron, appreciate the mesh fabric feel and armrests, and note it's a good ergonomic work chair though not cushy. Lumbar support is subtle but effective.

Pros

  • More comfortable than first-generation Aeron
  • Mesh feels like fabric to the touch
  • No bottoming out or pressure points after several hours
  • Subtle but effective lumbar support
  • Armrests are better than Leap v2, feel more stable
  • Base mesh option seems like good value
  • Good ergonomic work chair

Cons

  • Not cushy like a recliner, may not be ideal for gaming
