Does anyone have a good chair they recommend for WFH? I bought one off Amazon a while back for like $80 that looks nice but it’s doing a number on my back 😭 Willing to spend around $300-400 if necessary.

You should be able to find great quality used Herman Miller Aeron chairs for $500.

I bought mine for $300 Pre-pandemic.

These are pricey but highly recommend - Aeron or Eames padded leather - from Herman Miller. You could buy pre-owned and find something closer to your price range.

The Aeron is a better fit-for-purpose and the less expensive of the two.

I bought one called Zody from Haworth. I used to work at capital one, and they had the chairs in the office and I loved it. After years of lower back pain issues I knew I needed that exact chair. It’s definitely made work from home a lot better for me.

A standing desk 😊

Moving into a bigger place with a dedicated office this year so that’s the plan!

The one I got from Walmart - Serta did go for the longest time. Only recently has my back been bothering me but I have say my rear in it for 4 years so getting upgrade. My desk lately is more the killer because when I bought it I didn’t work from home all the time. Now it is cramped - need a bigger one and monitors lifted
