Home office chairs. What’s the best? No budget. I’m 6ft 220pounds. Wife is 5ft 120pounds. In market for 2 new chairs.
We tried getting ~$250 at OfficeDepot that seemed nice at first seat. After a day of sitting... 👎

Thanks! Good tip on the footrest.

Yeah, go HM or Steelcase. Any of the actual office chair manufacturers, don’t go with a gaming chair like SecretLab, because those are not actually ergonomic chairs. If you had a budget the autonomous stuff is fine, but best of the best? Just do HM Aeron (size C for you, A your wife) or Steelcase Gesture

smart

Wife is actually 4’11 but we say 5’....shhhhhh

Leap v2!

Secret Lab

Women: 6’ you say 😍?

She liked what she saw and put a ring on it.

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.

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. 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).
