Fern Office Chair

As someone with back problems - this is an incredible solution. Honestly, the only solution. I could not find another chair that fit the bill at any price point.
What I was looking for in a chair:
- Adjustable lumbar.
- Cushiony soft.
- Tall enough that my shoulders didn't rest on plastic or framing.
- Adjustable lean / tension control
- Headrest
- Upright lock
- Freedom to stretch and move.
The chair hit all the marks - although I did not order the version with a headrest. All of the external reviews I could find thought the headrest was bad. I do still find myself wishing I had a headrest, however I can manage fine without.
Cons:
- This breaks the bank. While I love the chair, and I am sure there was a ton of RnD involved, I can't help but feel like these higher end chairs are priced for large organizations that can afford it. Unfortunately for my wallet, this is the only chair I have found that could tend to my medical back issues. Most probably can't afford it and realistically, neither can I, however I need back relief during the work day.
- The arm-rests could use a slight bit more tension. Occasionally they slip.
Comparison:
I compared this most directly to the Herman Miller Embody.
The reason this beat the Embody, for me, was the back height. At just over 6' tall, the embody frame corners push my shoulders down and defeats the purpose of the range of motion provided by the skinny back. The fern is just enough taller and more flexible in the corners.

Superb chair. I love how precise you can alter any part of the chair, whether it is how far to lean back, seat depth, seat tilt, and most especially, the arm rests. As opposed to having to constantly readjust myself in previous chairs (including the famous Herman Miller Aeron), I am finally content with a chair that I can sit in for hours.

I was worried about the firmness if the seat, but was pleasantly surprised to find out just how comfortable it was even during prolonged use (no more numb rear is always a plus).

And of course, the ergonomics of the chair. After trying a chair with both lumbar and no lumbar, no lumbar is definitely the way to go if anyone is on the fence. The chair naturally supports your entire back already, and I found myself sitting upright rather than slowly altering my posture to a hunchback.

The digital knit is also very breathable, and definitely more comfortable than the mesh variant.

If you are reading this, you are already seriously considering this chair. Let me help you out and say: get it! After months of research throughout various companies, this is the one to get.

Herman Miller and Steelcase have great chairs but in my opinion and personal experience, they don't compare to the Haworth chairs, especially the Fern. The Fern is quite a beautiful experience to relax and work on it. But what has surprised me the most is the wonderful service to their customers. Amy and Sue are the best I have experienced in 50 years in terms of attention, patience, and interest in making customers happy with their purchases. At first, I had a few small issues with my chair, however they went above and beyond to resolve them and I am now a very happy customer. Thank you, Amy, thank you Sue, and thank you to the entire Haworth team for all the excellent care.

Very comfortable and stylish chair I would highly recommend very happy with my purchase great investment!

Chair went on sale right after I ordered mine. Support was supper helpful and was able to add the discount to my order. The chair itself is very sturdy and was easy to unpack. Would recommend if you need a chair to last for the long haul.
