*Home Office Setup* | Am in the market for a sit-stand desk and a new office chair, and have been looking for solid mid-price options ($300-400 desk and $200-300 chair). Autonomous seems to be in this range and Office Depot had some as well.

Any recommendations?

Get the autonomous! I love mine, it's been a solid investment. However if you have a Costco membership, they'll do a standing desk in the 200 dollar range a few times a year that I heard is just as great

D1, can you share the link please

I’ll say it before someone else says it: if you can find a refurbished Herman Miller on FB marketplace or otherwise, maybe a little out of your budget $400-$500, I highly recommend

If you want to go the HM route, you could see if there are any DWR outlet stores near by you. They have a lot of the HM chairs on discount due to overstock. I recently got a HM Sayl chair for < $300 from them.

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.
