i feel you on this. i ran into the same issue at 5'4" and it took forever to find stuff that fits. the Uplift V2 Commercial frame goes down to 22.6" which works way better. for chairs the Steelcase Leap V2 has a seat height down to 15.5". also check the Humanscale Diffrient World chair. the desk fra

When i was in China a few months ago (Shanghai) and visited a retailer that sells both Chinese as well as more name brand chairs (the store I visited is at 101, Building 10, No. 358 Kangding Road, Jing'an District)...they had a pretty great selection of Humanscale chairs. Great prices on the World L

Humanscale? Not as heavy duty, but ergonomic comfort for smaller framed folks. (I love the World Diffrient if you are on a budget.)

Here’s the thing, a proper chair is the perfect example of “you get what you pay for.” Can you buy what you might consider a comfortable chair for $200? Sure…just grab whatever Chinese made crap they sell at OfficeMax, Staples, Costco, Sam’s Club…. But then be prepared to spend another $200 a year f

I have 2 humanscale world mesh and had to replace 1 cylinder on it. While I was at it, I also replaced the wheels with the rollerblade type and they are standard wheel replacements. As for the gas cylinder, it was getting stuck in down position. After messing around with it, I discovered the sleeve

I recommend the Diffrient World chair from Humanscale. Nice lumbar support and waterfall edge reduces numbness in legs when sitting for a while. Got mine 2nd hand for £175 but they are quite expensive new.

I'm the same size as you and was worried about finding a chair to fit me recently - I ended up buying a refurbished Humanscale World chair which has been really good. Some people don't like the free backrest tilt but at our weight it takes purposeful force so I have no problems with it. I don't use

It depends. Mesh chairs can be deceptively comfortable, but they're not comfortable for everyone especially an Aeron. I much prefer the Mirra 2 over an Aeron even though the Aeron is the more "advanced" chair. The Aeron punishes you if it's you didn't get the memo to buy one in the right size or you

Did you look at the Humanscale World Diffrient? As a smaller framed woman, I have always loved the way the mesh seat version fits and cradles my legs. Alternatively, I often used a HON Ignition without the arms installed and that seemed to promote better posture when chained to a desk for prolonged

I just did the same with my HumanScale world mesh chair as I had the same issue. Made a world of difference and I no longer contemplate buying a new chair. Only issue is it boosts me about 2 inches higher than normal, so the back support doesn’t hit as perfectly as it used to
