## Description

Amia is made for sitting. A chair with comfort you feel. All day long. Tucked away inside Amia's trim backrest is one of its sitting secrets - the patent- pending LiveLumbar, a system of flexors that contour to fit your spine, giving you continuous support as you move in your chair throughout the day. And with Amia's other made-for-comfort features like 4-way adjustable arms, adjustable seat depth and seat height, and a flexible front seat edge, you can create the position that's ideal for you. Steelcase Amia chair complete features are pneumatic seat-height adjustment, adjustable LiveLumbar, flexible seat edge, height-width-pivot-depth adjustable arms, hard casters, upholstery/fabric, black plastic outer back, frame and base.

Review: Great Chair! - Great chair! Super comfortable and adjustable to suit your needs. I was originally going to buy the Aeron chair but my mom recommended this one for my home office as I would be seated for long periods of time. It has not disappointed and I am very pleased with its performance. As a bonus, the price (including tax) was still less than the manufacturer's list price.
Review: Terrible cushion - Before I bought the Amia, I used a much cheaper desk chair, and I know what bad cushion support feels like--you can feel the hard plastic frame through the cushion, and long work sessions make you sore. I'm 6'1" and weigh 190 lbs. It took about three months for the cushion on the cheap chair to give out. The cushion on the Amia lasted about four months. Yes, only one month longer than a chair that cost $140. Now it's effectively useless. Totally unacceptable for the price, and I can't believe the issue isn't mentioned in other reviews.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: If this chair comes fully assembled, why is there an option to have "expert assembly" for +$70?**
A: If you are buying from an authorized reseller, which most of these sellers are, the chair should arrive in its original Steelcase box, in an essentially assembled state. Amazon is blindly adding this "expert assembly" offer to furniture all over the site. We used to be able to add "ships fully assembled" to the listing to defeat that, but that is no longer an option. We have furniture that consists of a single piece of molded ply that we have to beg Amazon to remove this "value add" from, since customers think we're trying to take advantage of them.

**Q: Does this chair come fully assembled?**
A: Yes these ship Directly from the Steelcase Factory with the Full Factory Warranty and Fully Assembled and ready to use.  Thank you BACKSTORE

**Q: Are the arm adjustments 4way or just height only?**
A: The arms do have height adjustment. The arm rest tops moves forward, back, angle left, and angle right. Hope that helps. It is a very comfortable chair!

**Q: How come this chair looks like it has a thick cushion in some photos and a thin on others?**
A: Hi - Wendy from OFfice designs here - Thank you for your inquiry! Some of the photos are actual chairs and other photos are artist/photo renderings. The Amia chair is durable enough to handle loads up to 300 lbs. and is backed by the Steelcase Limited Lifetime Warranty. I hope that is helpful!
