My 50 dollar ikea chair keeps creaking when I shift a little bit. Not sure if I should just drop 2k for a Herman miller Aeron. What’s a good ergonomic chair? I’m about to just go into a office one day and just steal a chair and bring it home

How’s it compare to an aeron? I’ve always been on the edge of buying one

I got a staples one for $200 that’s great

Oh I forgot they sell chairs LOL. I’ll check staples,Walmart, target and Costco to see if they have any great chairs for cheap

Steelcase Gesture

The price is similar to Herman miller (~500 diff) does this chair last long?

Check out Facebook marketplace. I got my Aeron chair for $450. It has some scratches and obviously used beforehand, but still works as normal and back doesn’t hurt at all

There are also some furniture resale stores too where offices sell old stuff to them, could be a good option tio

Got an Aeron - life changing

Go for gaming chairs - relatively cheap and very comfortable. They look cool too!

I got an x-chair and love it!

I purchased a Herman Miller Mira 2 at a local furniture store in Cincinnati and love it, it was new old stock with the tag still on it for 500 instead of 1300-1400

Check your local family owned furniture stores downtown

Got my Herman miller lightly used off FB marketplace for $280

I would highly recommend a used one. I bought mine off FB marketplace for $350 two years ago and it’s going strong.

This train of thought sent me on an emotional roller coaster

Bought a refurbished Steelcase from Crandall and it's fantastic. Much cheaper than new and their entire process can be viewed on YouTube.

I had the weirdest dream. Criminals were put in a gated community under observation and they had to successfully fake their own death to get out. They were given too many drugs and alcohol. But they end up killing each other or suiciding and no one is left. Once everyone kills themselves they bring in new inmates. It was insane.
