I can’t tell if my current desk chair is bad for my back or if I’m just not supposed to sit in any chair for 14+ hours a day…

Give me your chair recos! Extra points if it’s got style 🔥

If you can find a DWR outlet near you, they often have Herman Miller chairs for 50% off. Also look on Craigslist for offices clearing out stuff, pretty easy to find.

Yep I finally got a used Eames this year and it was worth it!

I would say it’s the 14 hour workdays, OP, but I’ve been there before. Gave up and worked from my bed.

Get a standing desk riser for your computer. This way you can stand for part of the day and sit when you want. Humans aren’t meant to sit that long.

Any options that don’t scream boring office chair? (Also preferably not $2K???)

the aeron isn’t really a boring office chair. it’s a beautiful piece of furniture that is extremely functional. if you look at the studios of many other creatives, designers, architects, and animators over the past few decades, they’ve sat in herman miller chairs.

i’d much rather sit in an aeron adjusted to my body than a “cutesy” chair from wayfair that’ll fall apart in 2 years.

i share a desk with my bf (9” taller) and we both use the aeron comfortably. i might choose a different chair if we didn’t need it to work for both of us

fwiw i got my aeron on craigslist for $300 during an office’s downsizing sale, the sticker on it says it’s from 2014, but works like a dream

I hear you, my home office just also doubles as a guest room so anything that doesn’t look like a black plastic wheely chair is a big plus (though not a totally dealbreaker). Awesome you got such a good deal for yours!
