General PSA as I’ve seen a few posts looking for office chair recommendations. I picked up this lovely brand new Steelcase Amia chair from Peartree Furniture in Framingham for $299 (retails for closer to $1K)!

After combing FB marketplace for a used Herman Miller or Steelcase, I came across Peartree Furniture and was impressed with their selection of new and used chairs. And what’s even better, is that you can go to their wearhouse and actually try out the chair before buying.

For those with an under the desk treadmill, what chair do you use when you need to sit? I just upgraded to a standing desk and treadmill combo but still have a regular office chair. I would love to find something so I don’t have to move the treadmill since I live in a small apartment. Google is giving me results like this but I’m wondering if there are better options?

Does anyone else with toddlers feel guilty that they go into the office to get unintterupted work time? I love my kids but ever since they reached 2-5 years old they will scream and cry until they are allowed into my home office when I am in there. My oldest is 6 and doesn't do this but the younger ones will cry until they can come see me. But when I leave (as long as I say goodbye) they are fine until I come home. Is this common? Any else returning to the office to escape toddlers?

Recognize we can’t get this in Manhattan, but would we be able to find in western Brooklyn or like Astoria/LIC? Don’t want to be too far from downtown.
