Aeron chair from Herman Miller

like

a beanbag.

Any recommends for chairs without wheels?

Herman Miller forsure

Standing desk 💯

Its called a fitness orb.

Arron B specifically. The ideal office chair

I posted Aeron and it autocorrected to ‘Arron’ as well

Aeron by Herman Miller. I got mine second hand for $300 (retails for $1200). It’s amazing.

I agree but I don’t know where you would get it second hand in quarantine

Got a Steelcase Leap a month ago and it has been great.

How are you all buying a $1375 chair?!? There’s paying for comfort and there’s this. Is it actually worth it? 🧐

I’m eyeing the ErgoChair 2, because I just can’t rationalize paying that much for an office chair. Even if I want to, my fingers will not allow me to click submit when I’m on the payment page 🤣

I am in same boat, went with ergo chair 2, I can’t justify even 500 on a desk chair that’ll barely get used after quarantine. But like MDs that have nice home office can justify and find it worth, but I’m an analyst and $350 for the ergochair is good enough
