Fractal Design Refine

[famas]

Thread bump, my Steelcase leap v1 is really starting to show its age now (12+years old), creaking like mad and the seat cushion and back padding are shot.
If I'm honest I've never really found this chair particularly comfortable even with all of its ajustments, but have just put up with it. Now its at a point that even after a couple of hours its very uncomfortable.

Looking for a new chair and the Fractal design has caught my eye, seems like a decent mix of asethetics while still being fairly ergonomic.

How are people getting on with them a few years later, would you still reccomend? has anyone had an issues? How has the mesh version held up, any signs of sagging/loosening?

I've only had mine a couple of weeks, and the only issues I have are the usual issues around any chair - whether your body shape fits it. I mainly find that when you lean back, the lumber support changes position on your back. Also the lowest position as a bit higher than usual so if you have short legs your feet might not touch the ground properly. But overall I like the chair. It seems well built though.

I had one on order and cancelled because my work could provide an office chair. Each time I see this chair bumped, I think its a beautiful design, especially in white.

Before this mesh office chair, I had a Herman Miller Sayl, which I rather liked beside the fact it had a low back.

Has anyone upgraded to the Refine 2 yet?
