    A 6'3" user with chronic hip and lower back issues from old injuries tested the HON Nucleus at a showroom and found it noticeably more comfortable and supportive than cheaper alternatives and the Ignition 2.0. They appreciated the longer seat depth that better accommodated their height, though need to verify armrest clearance under their desk before purchasing.
