It’s always been hard for me to find the perfect office chair after testing out the Think chair from Steelcase last year. I came across the Zody chair from Haworth just a few months ago, and it just might be the chair for you.

You probably haven’t heard of Haworth unless you work for an office design place or a cubicle designer, but the Zody is great for work and home. The Zody is available in eight different colors, and one is perfect for you.

Lumbar support system on Zody.

I’ve been testing this chair for the past three or four months and it’s been awesome. Ever since I switched to this chair, I simply cannot move back to the cheap Office Depot chairs of yesterday. According to the company, it’s the first chair to have a passive pelvic support and asymmetrical lumbar support system.

It’s also the first task chair to be endorsed by the American Physical Therapy Association and the first task chair to be certified as a Cradle to Cradle Gold product. What does this all mean? It means this is a great chair, from a comfortability standpoint and an environmental standpoint. 77% of the chair is made up of steel and aluminum, two of the most recyclable materials on this planet, and 98% of the chair is recyclable.

Being a green nut, the chair is assembled using 100% renewable wind energy, equal to planging 194 acres of mature trees. This is a big plus in my book. The lumbar support allows you to achieve varying amounts of support on either the left or right side just by rotating the handle up or down. The arms are also adjustable in four different ways: in/out, forward/backward, up/down, and pivot left/right.

From a build quality view, Haworth didn’t cut corners on making this chair both functional and eco-friendly, but there was a little wiggle action going on in the chair pad, which became loose after about a month of day-to-day use.

I know this review looks like a bunch of marketing terms, but believe me, this chair could very well be a strong competitor to the Steelcase Think. Find the Haworth Zody at Sit4Less.com starting at just $549.99, it’s well worth the price.
