Just walked in the door with mine and am a musician. First thing I tested was guitar playing and it passed👌 If it got like 2-3 inches lower it’d be even better, but nothing to sweat over.

@@brucekhamp6859 thanks bruh

@@briggs713 exactly!

Hi that's actually a very good point, which I forgot to talk about in the video. But I can actually confirm it's a limitation. I'm same length (185cm) and for me the highest setting is ok. But on my other chairs I would normally have the the armrest like a half inch higher.

@@thingsthoughts Thanks for the quick reply. Would you say it's a dealbreaker or do you still have enough arm support? Also, on another note, what is it like to sit with one leg tucked under or both legs crossed?

@@dan_reyno No deal breaker for me, I'm satisfied with the chair as you can see. But if you're in doubt try out the chair in some store, or order it with the possibility to return. About the leg positions: I NEVER sit like that so I wouldn't know hahaha I'm too fat and not-nimble :)

@@dan_reyno I believe the chair exist in various height.

Hi Don, I also really like the Aeron as I said in the video. I might actually end up owning both long term and rotate whenever I feel. Because they are just different. In your specific example, yes the Humanscale Freedom is more forgiving for different postures. Mainly because of the Aeron’s mesh seating which is very much shaped and has a rigid framing around it, which I know is not comfortable to sit on. The Freedom doesnt have that. I can recommend to try and test the chair somewhere at a retailer, it can be worth the effort.

It’s the Alienware aw3423dwf (qd-oled). There are many reviews about it. Still good value, even there are now newer models with 2nd gen panels.

It's more slippery than fabric, yes. So you have to be a bit more mindfull, otherwise you can have the effect of sliding off a bit. I found that it's usually caused and fixed by 2 things: 1. If the height is not set correctly (too high) then you can tend to slide off when leaning back. I get this when I'm not wearing shoes or slippers. The 1-2 cm's make a difference. An easy fix is to lower the height ofcourse. 2. Making sure I'm sitting far enough back in the first place. If your not properly sitting against the backrest, you also tend to slide off. Depth is adjustable by the way.

Thanks! From my research on the second hand market: the leather options seems to be a lot more durable. I've seen many used Freedom's where the fabric has become worn out and completely seperated from the foam under it. Like loose skin. Making it unusable in my opinion. I've not yet seen a leather variant with that issue.
