Humanscale Freedom Task Chair, Graphite Frame, Headrest, Standard Gel Armrests, Standard Seat, Standard Height, Wave Black Fabric Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)There are dozens of Humanscale Freedom task chairs throughout our organization. It is a well made chair except in one aspect. Although the description says "graphite frame" leading you to assume high durability, the metal armrest support articulates with the metal chair frame using a PLASTIC connector. The pressure placed on the armrest when rising, lowering or adjusting oneself in the chair eventually results in this weight-bearing plastic part to snap causing the armrest to flop down and expose the sharp edges of the broken piece. This has happened to several people in our office and THREE times to me. After my first break, I adopted an orphan Freedom chair only to have both arms break over the course of six weeks. Humanscale Customer Service has been truly excellent with the repairs but shouldn't you expect a 100% graphite frame for TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS? The repair involves replacing plastic with plastic so the inevitable occurs. We have $300 chairs that last longer. If you order a Freedom chair without armrests, you'll have a great chair. (Dark tight weave fabrics last the best.) If you need armrests, save yourself the annoyance and buy something else.
