What Allsteel highlights

  • AcuFit mechanism

    A weight-activated mechanism sets the recline, lumbar support and open postures on its own. Allsteel calls it AcuFit.

  • Mesh back

    The mesh back is shaped to fit the shoulders and lower back together.

  • Few controls

    The only controls are seat height, seat depth and one slide control for tilt lock and tension.

  • Hybrid seat

    The seat uses what Allsteel calls a hybrid cushion. A slip-on leather or fabric jacket for the back is an option.

As described by Allsteel on its official pages; not a Chairpedia assessment.
