I bought an uplift desk and herman miller Aeron this summer. Highly recommend both. I've also been using a Steelcase Gesture for the past 4 years and would recommend that too

“Steelcase Gesture” great band name!

I just bought a standing desk and chair from Autonomous Inc and really like both! I have a code that I received after my purchase that can help you save up to $150. Let me know if you’re interested in the link!

i chatted you

Yes do it! Standing desk and a high counter chair (like the ones from Crate & Barrel) you will feel amazing!!

Wait! If you buy a standing desk you don't need a chair! Kinda, but really buy a cheaper tall stool like chair so you only use it to rest from standing.

ill say though that i prefer having a chair for the longer days/nights especially during busy season.

Highly recommend standing desks from fully, but do not recommend their chairs

Pursuit Ergonomic desk chair by Uplift has been a comfortable and greatly appreciated addition!!

Got mine from autonomous.ai, love the ergo chair and solid standing desk. And got an additional discount using R-fd299c at checkout

I bought a Vari 65 inch standing desk and I feel it's one of the best decisions I have ever made. For the office chair I just went to staples so I could try them out in person but I mainly use an exercise ball while sitting. Definitely get a comfy squishy mat to stand on too.

I found a deal on the Veri where i paid $650 (full price) then got 30% back in rewards points which I’ll use for a chair. It still seems like a ton to spend so I’m considering cancelling. Any thoughts?

I just figured it out and I paid $81 more for the Vari than the Autonomous when you adjust for chair price. I think I can live with that. Hopefully I enjoy it lol.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

AMA.

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.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
