Source: hermanmiller.com (read 2026-07-07) STALE · 2026-07-07 · corroborated by store.hermanmiller.com (read 2026-07-07). Re-fetched and adversarially verified both pages for the exact Sayl work chair (store Item No. 100099624, "Sayl Chair" — exact model, not a sibling/variant). The manufacturer product-details page confirms the "unframed 3D Intelligent back" of elastomer strands with passive PostureFit, that adjustable lumbar is an OPTIONAL add over a 4-inch (10 cm) range (not standard), and "ergonomic support for people up to 350 pounds (159 kg)"; back_type is categorized as "mesh" following the dataset's Aeron convention for elastomeric breathable suspension backs (the store Materials list confirms "Elastomer back" / "Ventilated elastomer back... permits free air circulation" — the literal word "mesh" is not on the page, retained only as a controlled-vocabulary category). seat_material comes verbatim from the store Materials list ("Foam seat cushion" + "100% recycled polyester seat fabric"). The store page confirms price $1,225 / $1,225.00 (Item No. 100099624), a 12-year warranty, and "Weight Capacity (lbs): 350". adjustable_lumbar is false because the standard configuration ships with passive built-in PostureFit ("No Additional Support") and user-adjustable lumbar is an optional upgrade (Gesture precedent). armrests is null because the store lists three arm options (Fixed / Height-Adjustable / Fully Adjustable) without disclosing which the $1,225 default SKU includes; recline_lock and release_year/releaseDate are null since neither fetched page states a recline/tilt lock (only "Harmonic Tilt") or a launch year. 5 of 8 spec keys survive (back_type, seat_material, adjustable_lumbar, max_weight_lb, warranty_years) — above the half threshold.
