Whilst the Verus is the cheapest office chair that Herman Miller makes, it isn’t cheap. However, it is a high-quality product – it feels solid & very well made, using premium materials. I anticipate it lasting many years, so in the long run, I expect this will prove to be a sound investment. It’s very comfortable and has all the adjustments you really need. I only have the height-adjustable arms – ie. not the fully adjustable “4D” arms – but I don’t feel that I’m missing out. Importantly, it provides good back support too. I have no complaints – I’m really happy with my Verus and would recommend it to friends (nb. I chose the “mesh” back – I have sat in a Herman Miller chair with a “Triflex” back which was fine, but I found the mesh slight ‘nicer’).

I’ve been using the chair for a couple of weeks and can tell it is much better for my posture and muscles than the previous chair I was using. It is easy to adjust and doesn’t look bulky, especially since I choose the grey colour. The mesh back is very comfortable and has some flexibility. Overall very pleased so far and 12 year guarantee is great!

Lots of ways to adjust it - but it wasn't right for my back.

There are lots of adjustments on the Verus but sometimes a chair just isn't the right fit. We want all our customers to be 100% happy so are always happy to discuss what might be right for you.
