Great adjustability and comfort

4D adjustable arms and advanced lumbar support system

Responsive customer service from manufacturer

Not immune to issues with lumbar system and plastic parts breaking

Potential for needing adjustments throughout the day for optimal support

Price may be a barrier for some buyers

Verdict

Overall, the Haworth Zody chair receives positive reviews for its adjustability and comfort. However, some users have experienced issues with the lumbar system and plastic parts breaking. It is recommended as a high-end ergonomic chair option, but potential buyers should be aware of the potential for these issues. The 4D adjustable arms and advanced lumbar support system are frequently mentioned as standout features. It is also noted that the chair may require adjustments throughout the day for optimal support. The manufacturer, Haworth, is praised for their responsive customer service. While some users prefer the Zody over other popular ergonomic chairs like the Herman Miller Aeron and Steelcase Leap, it is acknowledged that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and individual preferences may vary.

I have a lot of Haworth Zody office chairs with basic features for 50% off. They have fixed arms, seat depth, tension control, and height adjustment. For $100 they are a great alternative to other chairs you could get for the same price with similar features. Great for conference rooms, or home office on a budget.

Good But Not Great!

I've owned this chair for several months. So far it is a good chair overall but I have a few complaints: The lumbar system is really cheaply made. The lower pelvic support snapped in one area. I removed the whole lumbar system and actually now find the chair better without it. The standard mesh prov...

ergonomic chair for good posture, less lower back pain

If you are not in the US - you still can buy most of these chairs, but the return could be quite expensive. In the case of Canada, you could look at Ergocentric and Nightingale chairs. . Pay attention to Haworth Zody - probably the best chair for back issues.

Great chair but does NOT come with 4d adjustable arms.

I bought this chair after sitting in one a friend had and loved it. I have a smaller frame than average and found that most chairs armrests were too far apart which caused my elbows to splay out in order to reach the armrests. I spend 8-10 hours a day on my computer and this led to shoulder problems...

Office Chair or Gaming Chair

With your budget, I recommend looking at used/refurbished high end ergo chairs. Steelcase Leap, Haworth Zody/Very, etc. These are quality chairs that will help your posture and alleviate any pain.

Very good adjustable desk chair

I was fortunate to having used this chair and the Herman Miller Aeron chair in jobs I've held. I broke down any spent the money for a good chair since I work from home quite a bit. The major factor in chosing the Zody was the adjust ability of the thigh length. With Aeron, you have to chose Small, M...

And this includes my perspective around office chairs, which eventually culminated in me reaching the same conclusion of people way before me. That article from 13 years ago provides timeless advice, and funnily enough lists what are still considered some of the best chairs today - Aeron, Leap, Freedom and Liberty (among others). You'll also see mentions of the Haworth Zody or Nightingale chairs. Almost as importantly, the comment section is pretty much an echo of this sub's daily routine of people "seeing the light" of good ergonomics while working.

Plastic split after 6 years. Not that comfortable. Tricky to maneuver into position.

I've had this chair for 6 years (Not purchased on Amazon, but at a 'back store') and we've recently had to have the arm rests and head rests replaced due to the plastic splitting. (This is an 'occasional' office chair, not a full-time 40 hours a week chair for us). The company was good in that they ...

Impressions of Haworth Fern & Steelcase Gesture

For this reason I believe, my Fern's recline strengthens as I move backwards. This is unlike steelcase chairs but also the Haworth Zody itself, and that's why I think this is optional. Yet I may be wrong.

Big investment but worth it

This was a huge investment since it is so expensive. However, I needed a quality desk chair since I sit in it for 6-10 hours a day. After some research I went with this brand and the pricing was best on Amazon. The chair was delivered quickly and with minimal assembly. I've had it quite awhile and s...
