I recently changed jobs where if I'm not traveling I'm working from home. Up to this point I've always gone into some type of facility or office for my job and just used the employer provided chair. My home office is ok but need a better office chair than what I have. Before I pull the trigger on one I've researched does anyone in a similar work situation have a chair they really like and recommend? The one I'm looking at is this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08R64HK86/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2XIRMRIV061LC&th=1 Thanks
I've got something similar to that. The wife has one of the real Herman-Miller chairs these are based on. I like mine better. WorkPro 12000 Series Ergonomic Mesh High Back Executive Chair BlackChrome BIFMA Certified - Office Depot
I just rolled my office chair out of the building with my box-o-crap on it and told the security guard as I rolled by "oh, this is mine"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OCSNMO2/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1# I buy one of these probably ever 2-3 years (arms wear out), but they've been really comfy. Bought for my whole office, and everyone is happy with them, and from a cost benefit ratio, you can't beat them.
I've been using a Herman Miller Aeron for over 15 years. The entire office has them. Can usualy buy used fro $350+/-
I see alot of new office space build outs... many of the companies expanding are using those "height adjustable desks" for cubicles.
That was a big trend at the office before we left. The people that opted for one were always the same ones who had 3 giant monitors to do the same shit I did with one.
I have been working from home for years. Bought many chairs. I dont like to spend alot on them but at the same time spending 8-12 hours a day in it I need it to support my ass. Literally. I bought this chair about 6 months ago, and have been very happy with it. Cushion is very supportive of the rear. I am 190lbs give or take. https://a.co/d/4c5PMVf
I was messing around with one of the desks and got it up almost as high as the top of the cubicle wall... then the fella running the project flipped up some privacy screens from the walls. All of the management offices looked like fish bowls with floor to ceiling glass and a barn door.
I've had this IKEA chair for near 7yrs now, spending 6-10hrs a weekday in it. It has served my very well. I like having a headrest on it. I'm 5'9" 150#. https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/jaervfjaellet-office-chair-with-armrests-glose-black-60510640/
Aeron. My wife bought one from the company she worked at when the place crashed in 2001. I laid claim to it in 2006 when I started working from home. I had to replace the hydraulic cylinder this year. Otherwise it looks the same as the day she brought it home. She changed jobs a year ago and we had to build her a full office in her art studio. She wanted her Aeron back but we learned it was too big for her. Turns out she needed a size A chair, which I got from a used office supply place for $300. She also went with the adjustable stand / sit desk and loves it. Current job requires her to go in three days a week and she hates her office set up there.
Too much sweaty ass crack syndrome. I prefer a mesh seat that breathes. Now can you please pronounce that name?
Steelcase Leap. Best chair I ever had and I made sure my WFH employees bought the same instead of a big box chair. Commercial office furniture and built like a tank for 8hrs at a time. Or something from Herman Miller would probably be good. Don't skimp on a chair. Pic is representative. Mine was black. https://www.steelcase.com/products/office-chairs/leap/
Herman miller size "C" for me. Bought it used/rebuilt from Craiglists. (local guy up here rebuilds them) Parts are easy/cheapish to find and keep it going.
