I have bought a Humanscale Freedom. I read their specs and dimensions  
to work out where everything (arms, headrest etc) would end up,  
relative to the chair I'm sitting on now. Everything looks fine.

Now I have to wait a month for it to be made and delivered. Wish it  
didn't take that long.
But I'm sure it will be wonderful, I have yet to find anyone saying  
nasty things about it, contrary to the Aeron, about which people are  
very vocal.
