Got a chair from Branch. It’s pretty good

second on the branch chair!

You can always try and find a decent used office chair on like craigslist or FB Marketplace. I got a one that I can sit in for 10+ hours for days at a time with no discomfort for $100 and a standing desk from Fezibo for about $200. I got 2 monitor arms and 1 laptop arm. Altogether I probably spent around $450 on the setup.

I got a used HM from a local office supply warehouse place. 600?

The chair can last 20 years if you take care of it. Mine is 21 years old and still looks the same as new.

I recommend Flexispot adjustable standing desk (been using the E1 pro - it’s fair price and good product).
For chair, I like steel case (I got the series 1 from Amazon on sale sometime back). It lacks headrest tho.

Just got an Uplift desk and loving it

And second that you can find used HMs and they last forever. I’ve had my Aeron at least 20 years and through three moves. Still in great shape and comfortable all day long
