Consensus

our Verdict

The AirCentric 2 is an easy-to-adjust chair with many different elements that can be adjusted. Customization options include an armrest height, swivel and lateral adjustable, seat height options, caster options, and an air lumbar system that is depth-adjustable or headrest that’s got three pivot points and a 7” horizontal & vertical adjustment range. The chair’s seat height is adjustable by 5”, and its top-spec option features armrests that are height (4” range), swivel (360°) and lateral (2.5”) adjustable. Its seat depth is also adjustable by 2.5”. These adjustability options closely rival the level of comfort offered even by the best Herman Miller chair.

The AirCentric 2 also has a waterfall seat front edge that ensures good blood flow to the feet and air vents along the backrest. The AirCentric 2 weighs only 56 pounds and is also pretty easy to assemble.
