## Description

“I knew that creating a work chair is one of designs greatest challenges, an intimidating project in every possible way, ” says Swiss designer Yves béhar. “There is no place to hide in a chair. Every part serves a structural or tactile purpose. ” béhar didn’t have to look far from his adopted home of San Francisco for the inspiration of his sayl task chair (2010). The geometry of the Golden gate bridge suspension system can be seen in the airiness of the chairs signature back. Its Name reflects the sailboats that pass beneath the famous bridge, and replacing the “I” in “sail” with a “Y” is a nod to the chairs innovative y-tower structure, which provides ample support. The ventilated elastomer back flexes with your body and permits free air circulation, and the four-setting tilt Limiter lets you adjust tension and range to your liking. Low-cost but high-concept, sayl took almost three years to create and is cradle to Cradle silver certified for sustainability. Although 90% recyclable, This task chair is no mere throwaway.

Review: Simple, comfortable, you need this chair - I finally got my HM chair that I wanted to get for a long time. I had no other choice. Since we are teleworking, I needed a good chair to be fair to myself. I have never had a chair so comfortable, and I am comparing this to my work chairs throughout the years which have been either HM or steelcase. This chair is simple and spot on. My back is so supported and hugged that makes my entire body in perfect alignment. The seat is not super soft, but that is probably a good thing. I only wish I could forward the arms tiny bit, but well, this chair is only hight adjustable (which I knew about). I do not think lumbar support adjustment would serve me in any way, because I am not that tall(5"5') and the chair is perfect as it is for me. I played with adjusment little bit. This chair is so much fun. I love that the design of this chair is inspired by golden bridge. Knowing this makes me love thus chair even more. (and I am Californian 😉) I never would imagine I would love this chair that much, because there are so many chairs out there from the same brand (or similar), that is so attempting to get. I recommend this chair, without hazitation. Get a good chair, you need this.
Review: best chair I've had - This is the first fancy chair that I've actually purchased; though, I've used some pretty good ones at various jobs. I've had my eye on it since sitting in one at Room and Board years ago. The comfort is equal to or better than any other office chair I've sat in. Options: - adjustable arms: I'd definitely go for these - adjustable seat depth: consider getting the adjustable one if you have longer legs, but since I'm not particularly tall (5'8"), it wasn't worth the extra money - adjustable lumbar support: the lumbar support is already perfect for me, so there was no reason for me to pay for this. - casters: the stock casters are 2.5" that are meant for carpet only. I purchased the 2.5" hard floor/carpet casters separately since desertcart doesn't seem to sell this chair with anything other than the stock casters The seat cushion feels medium firm; it feels firm enough that it won't deflate after only a year but soft enough to be comfortable. The plastic mesh backing allows for good airflow, feels sturdy enough to last years, and encourages proper posture. It swivels silently and smoothly. I've read complaints of squeaking, but mine has remained silent after a few months of use. I'd definitely recommend trying this out in a store to make sure it's comfortable for you before purchasing as I could see features such as the adjustable seat depth and lumbar support as being useful for taller people, and I could also see how the backing might not be comfortable for everyone. While this chair isn't cheap, it's a lot cheaper than other Herman Miller chairs (or other fancy office chairs), and you can get a good deal if you purchase this around Black Friday time. Also, this chair arrives fully assembled, so the box is HUGE!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: which is the size and weight of the box?**
A: i don't remember the exact weight and/or size, but the chair is basically assembled. The seat, back, and arms are all put together. you just have to add the raiser post, base and (I think) the wheels. It required no tools, and was together in a couple of minutes. The box was only slightly larger that the beat/back, so it was a bit bulky, but not heavy at all (less than 10lb.). BTW, mine was a gift for my wife, and she LOVES it. I hope this helps.

**Q: Is the seat height adjustable? The description says "Fixed Seat" but the description says "seat height is adjustable between 15.5 and 20 inches high"**
A: Yes, the seat height is adjustable.  There are several models of Sayl chair, with more or fewer features, but I think all have adjustable seat heights.

**Q: Please confirm that the arms on this are adjustable. All others selling the same product indicate that the arms are fixed?**
A: Arms are adjustable

**Q: Would this be comfortable for someone who is 6 feet tall?**
A: I am 6 feet and am comfortable in this chair for an 8 hour work day. It is important to keep in mind proper desk height. If our desk is too tall or short sitting at it in any chair will get uncomfortable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice chair.

Very comfortable. I wish I would have gone with all of the options like seat depth adjustment and arm rest in and out adjustments but overall it is a very nice chair. Very good back support.
