Seconded

Definitely look for used office furniture stores in a nearby major metro area - you can pick up any of the big brands in great condition for sub $500

Y’all got money to blow. It’s not that serious. You can get a nice gaming chair under 100 during prime day. Or less than 200 on a regular day

I hear ya. Nice that you get a subsidy! I do think my cheap chair is pretty solid quality and I also am sensitive to back issues. But hey do what you gotta do!

I really enjoy my autonomous office chair! Best investment I made for my home office! If you look at the website and enjoy it lmk I may be able to give a referral discount or something idk

I have the HM Caper stacking chair and find it pretty comfortable. At some point I’d like to upgrade to the Time Life chair, though.

I think the typical comparison is Herman Miller Aeron vs Steelcase (not sure of the exact model name though). I got a used Aeron and it works pretty well, but I wish I had gotten it fully loaded with all the features. They run used about the same price about $400-500 if I remember correctly

Design question for my work from home ladies - how did you decorate around a standing desk, large monitors, etc?

I find that with a large monitor there’s not so much I can put on the wall without having the monitor partially cover it - especially when the desk moves.

I don’t mind if the decor is covered when I’m using it standing, but want it to look nice when it’s lower down. Also find that with the monitor/laptop another square on the wall is too much of the same shape - any inspiration?

Partner and I are considering a move to NYC (been a dream of mine for a decade now and we now both have remote jobs) but definitely intimidated by the rental market. We’d love a two-bedroom or 1-bedroom + home office with dishwasher, W/D, cat-friendly, and possibly elevator. What’s the likelihood of getting that for $3,500/month or less? 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.
