HON Ignition 2.0 vs Humanscale Freedom

You can find it for around your budget of $250 and he'll be MUCH happier with that chair long term than any "gaming" chair or cheap Office Max chair.

I was able to demo the chair in their showroom office 20 minutes from my home. A fabric chair was going to cost me roughly $1,000 total and a leather option was $1,500. I ended up finding a fabric Freedom chair locally for $200 used in good condition, so I got a steal. Personally I would look locally first before purchasing new

Easy to assemble, 10-15 min tops. They were clearly thoughtful about how to make this as convenient as possible for the customer. Overall, chair looks good (simple design), it's stable, and it's adjustable in the right ways except one: The handles only adjust up and down (not sideways). Comfortable for a 6'3" person

Hey guys Greg with BTO DTV. Have you been looking for a nice looking organ Amma chair, that's easy to use if so you're going to love today's video, th...

This is more of a seat than a true arm chair. Knowing now what it offers I would buy a less expensive chair with similar qualities. I am learning that sometimes you can trust the NY times column "The Wirecutter", where I read the recommendation for this chair and sometimes you've got to do your own research. The materials that went into manufactoring this chair and the design for sitting comfort don't IMO justify the 400 dollar price tag

So it's always focused at you looking at the screen and having your headrest right there. This is perfect for, if you like, to use headrests and your ...

With less wobbly armrests and wheels that roll in style, this thing is smooth silk. You won't have to get used to the seat as it offers great support ...

But man, at this price tag, you'd expect the chair to hold together for more than 2.5 years (and certainly not have 4 different parts break in that timeframe) -- and, when it did fail, you'd expect extremely responsive and helpful support.

Never owned products from HON before. Pleasantly surprised with this chair. Comfortable, aesthetically pleasing and sturdy chair. Best for home office uses

* Loved the Humanscale Freedom with Headrest. Really stylish design that doesnt look too space age, techy or overwrought. The headrest hits JUST right (under 5'5") and supports without forcing my head forward at a weird angle. Great lumbar that adjusts

First off - assembly was easy! Only had three screws :) Rolling is extremely smooth! Maybe this is just what any new set of wheels feels like and my chair was old, but this is definitely nice to slide around in. The back is pretty nice. When the product describes itself as having "lumbar support" It's hard to describe but I guess it's like a difference between a back that is cushy and gives-in, versus a region that remains firm; as opposed to a lumbar you'd find in a car or recliner that pushes into your back. The seat is really nice and I appreciate this fabric over the "fake leather" stuff my old chair is currently flaking all of the floor

I have replaced mine 3 times now. The last time the manufacturer sent me the assembly components to replace all components including some that didn't need to be replaced. I was very luck to have found a person who knows what they are doing and they called the manufacturer for me. I was given this stuff for free

Now for the negatives, The arms aren't that solid feeling and can shake when applying pressure. I'm 5'8 and this chair surprisingly doesn't go low enough to provide proper ergonomics for my legs. It only needs to go down a couple more inches but it is what it is. My biggest complaint is the "Chair Base"

, Which is really gon na. Do a lot to support your lower back.. Once you get that positioned in the back and you position the seat, you never have to ...
