Purchased open box return which arrived very fast, most likely direct from previous return customer. Chair arrived with back rest damage, something heavy landed on top of box and separated pad from back rest. Back rest had bend and dent but I was able to make a full repair, not sure if others could though. Chair works 100% like new except for a dent and couple bent areas in back rest that you do not feel when sitting on. I am 6’ and 240lbs and chair is great, would of liked an option to attach a head rest but I’ll be ok. It’s a great unassuming office chair that doesn’t get the looks of others so I am glad I didn’t pay the full price and to be honest, now that I have been using it for a couple of weeks, my mind has changed and I wouldn’t have minded paying full price now either. It’s a great work chair. Seat is very comfortable, back is comfortable, overall well built chair. I overly scrutinize and critique everything and the only complaint I have is that there’s a slight bend to back rest from previous damage. Those taller than 6’ should probably look at Steelcase Gesture or Leap V2 as those have taller backrest and or head rest options but those chairs are a lot more money. I think this Amia chair has a more comfortable seat pad anyways and I can use this chair for 8 hours a day and have no pain or stiffness in my back or legs. I cannot say that about other chairs. Great job Steelcase!

I've had the chair since February (5 months) and can say it is the worst 600+ dollars I've ever spent. # The alleged lumbar support broke somewhere around 3-4 months and continually slides down. Couldn't figure out why I was developing lower back problems till i realized this was happening. It is some type of cheap plastic horizontal bar embedded between 2 layers of the chair back and it slides down about 2" with me sitting in the chair for 2-3 hours. I have to add something behind my back now to prevent the back issues it was causing. It wasn't great even when it was staying in place. # This is likely my fault that I missed something in reading the description on Amazon or the Steelcase site, but YOU CAN NOT ADJUST THE CHAIR BACK TO A POSITION COMFORTABLE FOR YOU! I've never had a chair without the feature to set the back to a position comfortable to me. You can lock it into a position that they decided is best (yeah for a tall man, as usual) or else the back moves forward and backward and you can only adjust resistance. # A selling point was that the seat slides forward or back to accommodate different thigh bone lengths. What they don't say is that moving this forward or back from the "norm" will have you sitting at a place on the chair seat that tilts your spine in the wrong direction. I think this would be equally uncomfortable for a tall person as it is for shorter. # The chair back is designed for a taller person (I am 4'11"). I bought this chair because ergonomic websites said it was a good choice for a short person--not true. if you are short the sides of the back curve forward where your shoulders and arms are making your shoulders and arms roll forward in inward...and you'll find yourself with horrendous posture and bad upper back pain # Very little cushioning in the seat. my sit bones start to hurt if i'm in the chair for very long # The chair arms are nice in that they move in many directions. but as others have noted, they don't stay in the position you want. you adjust yourself in the chair (as you would with any other office chair) and the arm slides out of the desired position. # Something I never thought I'd complain about, but the chair rolls WAY too easily. I have a chairmat since my desk is on carpet. All day the chair keeps rolling away from my desk just from the movement of my arms on the keyboard and mouse I hate to just throw away $600, but it is now costing me a lot more in chiropractic bills to fix all the issues it has caused, and I don't think for that much money I should have to be buying back pillows and lumbar cushions to make it not tortuous to sit in the chair. I had a $300 chair for 8 or 9 years and this was to replace it as the cushioning in the seat had finally broken down (it was tempurpaedic and lovely). this chair is a torture device and poorly made and more than twice the price. Lesson learned, never buy a chair based on online reviews claiming it is good.
