If you&#8217;re shorter than ~155 cm, the 46 cm minimum seat depth will likely press into the back of your knees and affect circulation. Stay away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Atlas can be an ergonomic chair for tall people &#8211; but only if you modify its lumbar and height using about $200 of aftermarket parts I described above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>This pushes the price to roughly $1,400 &#8211; and if that&#8217;s still within your budget, the Atlas is a great pick.<\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The problem is, Atlas&#8217; 3-year warranty (that can be extended to 5 years by posting about the chair on socials) jars against this figure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$1400 is firmly in the premium chair category, where most brands offer 8-12 years of coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your $ 1,400 chair fell apart after 3-5 years of use, would you be upset about it? I would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"indent-wrapper\"><div class=\"indented-text\"><span>But I think most people considering this chair will overlook the economics of it. <\/span><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Because Atlas is not a boring office chair &#8211; it&#8217;s a beautifully sculpted statement piece that will elevate your home workspace while keeping you in a reasonably ergonomic sitting position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That&#8217;s worth something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Steven<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 9<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>I&#8217;ve been geeking out over office chairs for about 5 years now.
