When I got the chair there was a document in the box that stated the chair was not for outdoor use and the warranty was invalid if it was used outdoors. This was not indicated on the description on the web site. I also found it to be less sturdy than I expected.

These band chairs are designed for indoor performance spaces. They could be used outdoors on a solid platform surface, but should never be left or stored outdoors. You can contact customer service if you'd like to discuss a return at [email protected]. We will add this information to the product on our website.

The advertised item I ordered was discontinued. Once the PO was issued, they contacted me to offer a similar (more expensive) product at a discount. As I moved to proceed, I realized they also tripled the shipping cost fromf $50 something to $180 something.
Response from Worthington DirectOct 15, 2026
We apologize that the item you originally wanted was no longer available. The alternate item is packaged differently and ships at an increased freight rate. Your order was cancelled as requested. Please let us know if we can help you any further.

I think everything was ok until I got pay . The shipping fee was really high the only reason why I still did it is because we really need the items. But there has to be a better way

We appreciate your business! Freight can be affected by higher fuel costs, but feel free to contact our team prior to ordering and see if there could be cost savings in selecting a similar product from a closer brand, or reviewing another freight method. Thank you again!

Parts were damaged in shipping…
Parts were damaged in shipping replacements took longer to arrive than they should have then when I received my order two boxes containing half of a desk were missing from the order. The redeeming quality of the situation has been Blair and Zach in customer service and sales making sure things are at least getting processed. Although I feel like Zach lit a fire to get things moving as I had not gotten in my opinion good responses to start with.
Response from Worthington DirectMay 18, 2026
There is not a Blair or Zach on the Worthington Direct team. Perhaps this order review is intended for another company you received a shipment from?

I’m providing this feedback at your…
I’m providing this feedback at your request regarding the Konfurb headrest for the Colamy Neza chair that I purchased through your site.
From a customer standpoint, the biggest issue is the lack of product transparency on the listing. The page currently includes only two images of the chair with the headrest attached, and neither clearly shows the rear mounting design or provides a close-up of the headrest itself. To try to fill in the gaps, I also looked into the manufacturer, Nine Group, but found similarly limited information there as well—no additional images or meaningful specifications. As a result, it’s difficult to make a fully informed purchase, particularly when it comes to understanding adjustability and overall functionality.
In practice, the headrest feels extremely limited. It meets the most basic expectation of being an attachment, but it lacks meaningful ergonomic design. It sits noticeably far back on the chair, and without any forward adjustment or articulation, it doesn’t provide effective head or neck support in a standard seated position. I found that I had to use a separate headrest pillow just to compensate for the gap and make it usable without reclining the chair, which largely defeats the purpose of purchasing a dedicated headrest.
The product did arrive intact, and installation was straightforward, so no concerns there. However, I do have some reservations about long-term durability. The mounting screws are positioned on the underside, which raises a concern that, over time, gravity and repeated use could affect how securely the headrest stays in place.
Lastly, the pricing structure significantly impacts the perceived value. While the headrest itself was $35, the $40 shipping cost—particularly for a shipment from Illinois to Missouri—felt excessive and disproportionate to the product. That alone made the overall purchase harder to justify.
Overall, I think there’s a clear opportunity here for improvement on the retail side—specifically in providing more detailed images, clearer product information, and a more balanced shipping cost structure. Even if some of the limitations stem from the manufacturer, better transparency on your listing would go a long way in setting accurate expectations and improving the customer experience.

Thank you for your thorough review of the headrest accessory. Our team is working to resource additional information from the makers of this part. Once more specs are generated and received we will update the product description with any new information that may be helpful for others. Our sales and customer service team are always happy to research any product questions you may have prior to any future orders. Thank you for your business!
