Very comfortable. A big upgrade from my previous chair. For someone who sits in different positions in the chair, this chair gives me comfort in various sitting positions.

The chair has a number of different adjustments which should suit the majority of users. If you compare the spec on the Wellworking website with the spec on the Herman Miller website the difference in height adjustment is because Wellworking use a different gas lift which has a greater range that either of the gas lifts on the HM website. The seat is a little firm but comfortable, it could do with being just a little softer. The mesh back is supportive and the lumbar adjustment moves up and down and tilts as the user moves position. The height adjustable arms are firm, and after trying them I don't think I'll need the fully adjustable arms. I particularly like the forward seat tilt (which does take a bit of getting used to) since I spend a lot of time at a keyboard. Granted the Verus isn't cheap but if you can't afford the cost of an Aeron or Embody this is the chair to go for.

Really comfortable and easy to adjust. I bought it having looked at reviews for chairs suitable for degenerative disc disease sufferers - I was even happier to find it came in colours other than black.

Much comfier than I thought it would be. Doesn’t feel like an entry level option - much plusher.
