Comment on I wish I was a little bit taller

Comments

I wish I was a little bit more able to comfortably sit on an average office chair.

I recommend the Haworth Very for taller folks. At the max height my femurs actually sit slightly above the horizontal plane containing my knees so I don’t feel boxed in.

I am a touch above 5'3". I've used a Haworth Very for the past ~5 years. My wife now has one, too.

With this chair:

- My feet can touch the floor, even without shoes

- The armrests can move down to the place where my forearms naturally rest

- The armrests can point from my elbows to the front corners of my keyboard

- I can sit for long periods without my any discomfort

Oh that’s really cool! Seems like it’s just a well designed chair for most heights.

I agree on all of your points. Bless the designers for saving our back/knees/hips etc!
