Why it's buy-it-for-life

An owner reports it holds up as comfortably as pricier Herman Miller chairs at a considerably lower price.

What owners say

One owner says the Steelcase Series 1 is just as comfortable as the Herman Miller chairs people usually recommend in BIFL threads, maybe even more so, and considerably cheaper. They report absolutely loving the chair in daily use.
