I swear by the original Aeron Herman Miller. I have had mine for ~3 years and feels brand new. My partner went for Cosm High back by Herman Miller and loves the neck and shoulder support.

I'll go against the grain and lodge a plus one for Steelcase. I find my Steelcase Leap V2 more comfortable than the Aeron I have at the office.

Second the steelcase leap v2. Back pain is a thing of my past now with this chair

I like the Aeron. Buy a used one to save money. They are super durable and you can buy replacement parts for the pieces that do wear out (mesh is most expensive, make sure that is still in good shape).

CXO Nightingale is great if you want padding for your tushie. Super comfortable.

I have the Logitech Herman Miller chair. Purchased brand new on eBay for $900 instead of full retail. Definitely a must.

Both Humanscale Freedom and Aeron great. I have both and don’t notice a big difference one over the other.

Humanscale Freedom is sexy af but Aeron probably wins after a few hours.

Herman Miller. Go big and get the Eames Executive Chair.

Over the last three years my mfg company has had a lot of people leave and each time I take on the extra responsibility - from admin, payroll, benefits, compliance, safety, inventory and shipping. I literally do it all. And not only that, but I’ve eliminated and optimized a lot of wasteful processes in order to get it all done. I thought that it would all come with eventual pay increases since it saves the company over 300k in overhead. This whole time I should have been OE. I feel like a fool.
