What is a good office chair to buy? I have been looking at Herman Miller ones like Embody (pricey), Aeron (solid but boring), Mirra2 (plastic) and Sayl (any good?). Thought I’d get some advice/reviews from you all.

Eames Executive Chair.

Though at the moment I have the Caper stacking chair and it’s been very comfortable for the past couple years.

Bodybilt is what I have - love it

I recommend checking to see if there is a used office furniture store nearby or in a major metro. I thought I wanted an Aeron to replace my Mirra 2, but wound up loving the bodybilt (they are all custom, this one must have been made for someone similar in size to me)

Got a $2,000 chair for $400

I like my Autonomous

1099 or w-2 ? I have been given the option though the company prefers w-2. It’s a day rate booking couple of months or more (no end date). I already have 1099 from similar company this year and am leaning towards 1099, but I don’t want to be difficult. I do take home office deduction and they are not supplying any equipment. Suggestions?

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.

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.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it.

It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
