What We Like
- The 15-year warranty is the longest term stated among managerial chairs, a figure two others share, and the manufacturer's spec sheet gives it.
- The seat cushion type is given as contoured in the spec details.
Watch Out For
- Back support is the gap: the Support sub-score is 0, tying for the lowest among managerial chairs, with lumbar support (12 points), cushion, upper back support, breathable back, seat edge and headrest adjustment all at zero.
- Its 4.0 rating rests on 3 reviews, which ties for the sixth fewest among managerial chairs that state one.
At a Glance
Humanscale's Freedom is a task chair upholstered in Corde fabric on both seat and back, with a graphite frame.
Who This Chair Is For
- Buyers with carpeted floors: the listing gives hard casters for carpet flooring.
- Sitters who want fabric against both seat and back: the spec details give Corde fabric on each.
Who Should Look Elsewhere
- Buyers ranking by Ergo Score: it is 18 here, the third lowest among managerial chairs.
- Anyone who wants to set the tilt tension: the listing does not state a tension control.
Pivoting backrest and the standard foam seat the Freedom title names
The tilt is a pivoting backrest, while the title describes a standard foam seat. The Duron arms are stated as height adjustable, and the listing does not state a seat depth control or a recline angle.
Alternatives to Consider
Why consider: Adjusts its seat depth and states a seat height range of 15.6 to 20.75 inches, where this Freedom states neither.
Steelcase
Steelcase Gesture Task Chair: Shell Back - Platinum Metallic Frame/Base/Seagull Accent - Standard Carpet Casters
Good

Why consider: Has 2D arms and a tilt tension control, where this Freedom states height adjustment on its arms only and does not state a tension control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Humanscale Freedom warranty cover every part for the full term?
Not according to the listing's warranty note: the factory term covers the chair, while the fabric, cushions and arm pads carry a shorter term.
How much does the Humanscale Freedom weigh?
The chair weighs 38 lb, a figure from the manufacturer's spec sheet.
