Support
As mentioned above, there’s not much lumbar support on this Modway Thrive desk chair, but what is there should be more than enough to help keep your lower back steady as you do your work. The back support you get here may not be equivalent to what you’ll get from the Flash Furniture Mid-Back drafting chair, but both chairs do come with a foot ring, and a breathable mesh seat & mesh back to keep you cool whenever you sit on them.

Comfort
The padded mesh seat on this tall office chair is very similar to what you’ll find on the Modway Veer Drafting Chair, and this applies from the waterfall seat design to the thickness, but what sets them apart is that the Veer chair has padded armrests while the Thrive mesh chair does not. Adjusting the seat height of this mesh seat standing desk chair is also relatively easy, as unlike the Seville Classics Airlift 360 Sit-Stand Adjustable Ergonomic Active Balance Non-Slip Desk Stool, it comes with a lever that’s just below the seat that you can push or pull to lower or raise the height of the stool.
