Zody Executive Chair

The chair is a cut above many others out there mostly because it can what others do not and that is dual position option or made to be used with multi-level sitting and/or standing desks. Quit uniquely designed and made well. Of course, not all is perfect but very few products are. I opted to negated the original 4 position arm rests and they customed reordered a replacement chair with simple heigh adjustment armrest. Why? The 4-position arm rest are loosey-goosey and rattly, noisy sloppy. But, please its certainly is not only Haworth chairs all of them no matter the price points have the same situation with their arm rests with so many reviews mentioning this dilemma. Some are worse as complaints of just how slight bumping or arm movement and the adjustments is all over the place. Haworth 4-way armrest at least stay put until you wish to change their positions. Understand chair companies order from vendors most of the parts that makeup the entire chair. And armrest vendors seem all the same meaning there is probably only a couple who actual make them for chair companies spec or offer A B or C quality & design class of their products much like automobile vendor parts usually the bean counters have the last say. The Zody chair has just right and smart number of important adjustments and not overly burdened by all kinds of buttons and knobs handles and such with moving parts that certainly will become problems over a short period of time. Like a high-end cars, the more options and goodies the more problems. The head rest on the executive chair like mine is okay, but as I mentioned to Hayworth what did you not for the money order from you parts vendor the adjustable tilt backward ~ forward not just sliding up and down. Seriously the added expense would have been minute ordered in volume like from Atlas chair headrests. Optional two locking caster wheels should be standard. Why, because we humans like to put out legs up on desks and maybe other things in a restful way we do and the chair without locking casters wheels zip out from under, that’s why. Several other chair companies do offer locking casters wheels a few have them as standard. In reality you only need two out of the five to lock. I ordered and install locking caster wheels. All and all the Haworth Zody chair is among the very best out there and the dual position is king with the forward and down seat tilt and multi height for adjustable desks. Remember to go over the list of offerings for the Zody chair and ask question of the Haworth sales folks as they are excellent, very friendly knowledgeable and accommodating, something that is a rarity these days. Also remember your chair is a made in the USA product. Granted there are parts that are probably from the Pacific rim region but at least it’s more American than many others.

It’s perfect for I was looking for. Rarely can you find a chair that raises up higher than normal. This chair is great.

I usually don't provide reviews, although I read them to make decisions on products to buy, but I decided to take a chance on a brand other than HM as the usual office standard chairs. I'm self-employed and work from home now, but my last company had HM Aeron's and a few Embody's. I'm a bit stocky, so having the size chair to fit was important as well as good lumbar due old back injury.

I initially bought an Embody for home, and after a year or so, sold it because the back didn't have the lumbar support I needed. I couldn't get comfortable. I shifted back to an Aeron and used it for a couple of years, but it basically became uncomfortable to sit in. The mesh bottom is great for in office seating but extended days at home, not so much.

After experiencing discomfort and inadequate support from the Herman Miller Aeron chair due to my body situation, I decided to take a chance on the Zody office chair. Unlike the Aeron, the Zody offers adjustable lumbar support and a pelvic tilt mechanism that caters specifically to my needs, ensuring proper posture and significantly reducing strain on my injured lower back. The Aeron is adjustable but it's basically a hard block that you can slide up and down. I liked the "punch" of it in my lower back, but the Zody's version is more subtle. At first I was dubious, but the more I use the chair, the more it's grown on me, and I like it. The only change I would make is to be able to push it more into the back at the tightest adjustment, but I like the variable tension on each side. Although minor, only other thing I'd like is the ability to lock the position of the arm rests. Lean on them a little bit and out they go.

While the Herman Miller Aeron is undeniably a popular choice among office chairs, its design doesn't accommodate all body types equally. The Haworth Zody, however, provides customizable options that adapt to various builds, making it an ideal choice for someone with my physical requirements. I would add that I prefer the ability to slide the seat bed back and forth for added seat bed length. The Aeron is what you see is what you get and the front lip dug into my legs after a while.

The Zody's design and high-quality materials not only add a touch of sophistication to my workspace but also ensure long-lasting durability. The Haworth Zody office chair has proven to be a superior seating solution for me, offering the essential support and comfort I need to maintain good posture and enhance productivity throughout the day. It also has a great price point compared to a brand new Aeron, and more adjustable

My Aeron is about 20 years old and original equipment and still going strong, so I'm hoping the Zody will do the same. Time will tell but all in all, I'm happy with my choice.

Great chair overall. The only complaint I have is on the headset which is a bit too hard. Also, one of the screws for the headset became a bit loose after a few days, but I cannot really open the cover and tighten the screw, which affects the experience.

Love this chair. Perfect for those of us on the shorter side of height. Comfort meets ergonomics. Bonus -arrived fully assembled.
