Great thread...wish it was still active. I'm currently deciding between a Steelcase Think, Haworth Very and a Hon Nucleus...or a Humanscale Liberty if I can justify it.
I wish there was more information/reviews online...that's not something I say to often.

It may not be active but my subscription didn't go anywhere.

I liked the Steelcase Think a lot but found all the Humanscale chairs very uncomfortable. They recline in a very specific way that is unlike any other chair. I think it's very much a like it or hate it sort of thing. I never tried the other two you mentioned.

If you can, definitely try before you buy. The best thing to do is see if you can find a store that stocks various ergonomic chairs.

^ good to see its not dead...thanks for your input ChaoticKinesis.

The lack of controls on the Humanscale Liberty can be nice for simplicity sake but can be restrictive which can present issues. I quite like the recline from my brief store experience but agree with your potential concerns as there are no adjustments (i.e. tension, back-lock, etc) and therefore won't be for everyone. I also totally agree that "try before you buy" is really necessary, although it can be challanging finding examples of the chairs you're interested in, even if you in a large metro area. From my list above I was able to find and sit in the Steelcase Think, Hon Nucleus and Humanscale Liberty (along with many others) but was not able to find the Haworth Very Task which was a little disappointing. Ended up going with the nucleus as it was the most comforable for me. Mine arrives tomorrow and I'm syched smile.gif

Wife is complaining about back problems recently. She sits for atleast 10 hours a day in an office, I think it's her crappy office chair thinking of investing in a good office chair for her. Any suggestions she is about 5 feet 4 inches and weighs about 115lbs I dont want to get a chair that has the lumbar support all the way up her back haha.

Bump. For anyone interested in the Hag capisco, I'll probably post a review once I get mine.. (probably today or tomorrow)

Edit: Not much to say for now, but one thing stands out about this chair. - It's very hard to adapt to the seat because of its design.

I bought a Teknion Amicus used for $40 and it has a fault of which I have to try to fix or just throw it out (no refund options at this point).

7SXxeOAl.jpg

afp1ZGJl.jpg

It appears the plastic base sagged, or broke, as the center touches the floor and drags on the carpet (tested it on hard floor, it does the same). Chair feels stable, but some of the weight seems to be on the center part :-(

I don't see any obvious cracks in the plastic.

Anyone own one of these? From the picture on the first page it looks like they have more of an arch on the base, but I did a lot of googling and some of them just seem to look like mine. I'm curious how many inches from the base of the center of the chair to the floor.

I contacted Teknion, but they seem like they just want to sell me parts without me even knowing where the fault lies for sure. I can imagine what parts cost, they have the chair listed at almost $1000 new.

What about something like the Vitra ID range? You can pretty much pick and choose all aspects of it:

paying top dollar for a non-high back chair is a waste of money. buying a mid or low back chair for computer use is a waste of money.
