I understand that many readers of this review will just look at the stars I've awarded it, and base their buying decision mainly on that. That's why I really struggled to give the Sayl chair, from chair experts Herman Miller, its three and a half stars. Most people won't bother with anything lower than four, and I get that. Especially when the asking price is around $700.
So how about this: The Sayl chair is the best three and a half star chair I've reviewed! And I'm not damning it with faint praise. It's a really fantastic chair in many ways. It looks, frankly, beautiful – like much of the Herman Miller roster. It's comfy and has a tilt mechanism that I wish was picked up by more chair manufacturers. But those arms! Ooof, they be cheap!
