A comfortable chair rated 5-10 hours for seating (who knew that was a thing!), I’m now in need of a work desk instead of a cute table; considering one with adjustable height for standing / sitting. Monitors and laptop headsets. Great lighting.

I got the same one from Staples in red. It’s pretty and comfortable, but I agree about the seat, after a while, I get a sensation (not pain) on the back of my thighs. It’s good, not great.

I started my new job completely remotely in June and when we go back to the office, it would be a 1.2 hour, 40-mile one way commute..

I feel like it’s a much more sustainable option.
