Hey folks - the topic is: “good office chair.” I have seen many posts on the topic, and gearing towards Herman Miller. Does anyone have experience comparing the Aeron and Embody? Ergo is almost 60% higher price, so I’m unsure of the value add. Thanks in advance!

Same. Have had it for a year and no complaints!

Autonomous is equally good and much affordable. Just my two cents.

+ 1 autonomous standing desk

I’ve considered both. The Embody forces you into a better posture, I found that it pressed me against the shoulders a bit. It’s probably a better office chair for ergonomics, but I went with the Aeron because I’m used to it, it feels like a recliner when you want, and I like the mesh in the summer as I don’t have AC.

You can have both for the same price, contact your local wholesaler (Business Interior? I forget the name. There’s another one near Yorkdale)

Is there a wholesaler you know?

Aeron if you are familiar with it from your office and are ok with how it forces you in correct posture (ie cross legged not possible with seat design etc) and confident re size you need and/or want to add a headrest. Embody if all above does not apply. Can't compare with Steelcase directly, but unless you are getting a good discount (>40%) on it, just buy one of Herman Millers via RFD group buy.

Redflagdeals forum. Make the account, you'll see Group Buy section when logged in. Find Herman Miller threads there.

The chairs used in the BAE office. https://store.steelcase.com/seating/office-chairs/gesture

Well that is the link the folks off service now sent me to buy the BAE chairs. I created a SNOW ticket asking if we can buy office furniture for any offices being closed.

Eames padded management is nice and comfy.

I purchased a very comfortable chair from Costco.

Home office preference question. I am getting ready to redo the layout of my home office. One option I'm considering would have my desk facing a wall. I am wondering if anyone with this current setup has any feedback about it. I would face the wall so that I would have a better background for video conferences (am on about half the day) and also my cord situation would be cleaner.

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

What monitors would you recommend for home office? I am about to buy one myself. I work in FDD. Do you guys recommend the ultra wide? Curve screen? freesync?And what definition is good enough ? I really do love Apple Retina display but the price.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).
