I would just bite the bullet and get a Herman miller. The price tag is painful It will last you for the rest of your life and is the best chair I have ever owned. You can get refurbed ones for under 1k if you want to go that route as well. Other than that, there’s a couple knockoffs on Amazon for around 400-600 that do the job well enough (I believe the one I used to have was called the work pro quantum 9000)

Get a used Herman Miller. They should be back down to reasonable. Worth every penny.

Crazy how everyone here recommends one of the most expensive office chairs there is. Yes, I also bought a Herman Miller office chair (Aeron). Do I feel a huge difference to the Ikea office chair I had before? Honestly, no.
Just make sure to get an ergonomical chair. I would just go to a store and buy the one that feels most comfortable. The brand does not really matter.

I’ve never tried a Herman Miller but most who have, swear by them. I currently have a decent gaming chair, but it’s a tad too large and plush to get to work. Better for relaxing and reclining than hitting the zone

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.

Any recommendations for a work desk?
Not looking for something too big or pricey. Easy assembly / disassembly is a plus.
