What We Like

  • The arms adjust in height, width, depth and pivot, which is what the 4D rating describes.
  • The listing states a 400 lb capacity, one of the highest stated among Home Office chairs.

Watch Out For

  • It is one of the pricier chairs in its category, and the listing does not state a warranty term, so confirm the cover before paying that premium.
  • Owners rate it 4 across 409 reviews and its Comfort Index is 17; both sit among the lowest in the Home Office category.

At a Glance

Steelcase's Amia pairs 4D arms with a LiveLumbar back system and a tilt that locks upright, and the listing states a 400 lb capacity. Owners rate it 4 across 409 reviews; the Ergo Score is 39 and the Comfort Index is 17.

Who This Chair Is For

  • Shared or hot-desk setups where each person wants to set the arms to their own height and reach.
  • Sitters who need a high weight rating, since the listing states 400 lb from a Steelcase task chair.

Who Should Look Elsewhere

  • Shoppers who put the owner score first: a 4 rating on 409 reviews sits near the bottom of the Home Office list.
  • Anyone with carpet under the desk, since the casters are listed as hard.

Amia office chair: LiveLumbar, the tilt lock and the four-way arms

LiveLumbar is the lumbar system named in the spec details; the title calls the lumbar support adjustable, but the spec details do not list lumbar height or depth movement. The tilt covers a full recline range and can lock upright, on a flexible seat edge. The arms move in four ways: height, width, depth and pivot. The listing does not state a seat depth adjustment or tilt tension.

Alternatives to Consider

Why consider: Adds seat depth adjustment and tilt tension, which the Amia listing does not state; its arms are classed 1D where the Amia has 4D.

Why consider: States a 12-year warranty, where the Amia listing does not state a warranty term, on a chair whose arms are classed 2D.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the tilt lock?

Yes. The tilt is described as a full recline range that can be locked in the upright position.

Can the lumbar support be adjusted?

The title calls it adjustable, and the spec details name a LiveLumbar system; height and depth movement are not stated for it.

What kind of casters does it use?

The listing gives hard casters.
