Is it for you
Buy it if
- Volume matters — kitting out more than one desk
- Parts availability years from now is a real concern
- You want a warranty measured in decades, not years
Skip it if
- The chair is visible in a living space you care about
- You want the refinement of the contract flagships
HON sells to facilities managers, which means the chairs are specified to survive being sat in by strangers for years without a service call. Parts are stocked and the warranty runs long.
It looks exactly like what it is. In an office nobody notices; in a visible corner of a flat, it is the thing you notice.
