The recommendations for Steelcase are good. Although if you can get Humanscale at a discount, they are fantastic.

Steelcase has served me well since WFH began in 2020. My previous office chair gave me backaches after sitting straight for hours. I paid around $420?

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.
