Personally I have had the uplift for 2+ years and no complaints. I noticed other brands start to “wobble” at max height.

+1 for uplift. I also did a lot of research and went with them for stability. The frame legs are massive in a good way. You'll have a much easier time assembling with 2 people. It took me a little over an hour by myself.

Uplift for sure. Just got one and it’s a game changer.

I got the autonomous one, can't complain. I like it a lot. My husband also ordered one too since I liked mine.

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.

How did you get started in your career as an FA? I work in the home office and have been an assistant to an FA before. I have a network, I have ambition, I have credibility and connections at my firm..

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.
