Price: $1250 (list) $750 (street)
Pros: Great design, simple controls, solid construction, many fabrics and finish options, a favorite among those of small to average build
Cons: Back is a little narrow for bigger than average builds, not quite enough resistance on back tilt even set at maximum, price of leather is outrageous, but beautiful.
Notes: This chair has a super design. The controls are very easy to use and are located on the sides of the seat. It gives a very clean look and is the easiest to use that I have ever seen. No need to twist a tension knob 400 times to tighten the back, just slide a simple lever. Allsteel is very proud of their fully loaded white leather model and it is a stunning chair. They feature pictures of it from every angle on their website and the paper brochure opens up like a centerfold to reveal an extra large image. However the white leather and polished aluminum adds $2300 to the price, for a total over $3000. The ironic thing is the leather defeats several ergonomic features of the chair, namely back and seat ventilation and the slippery leather does not hold you in place as you recline.
