You will pay a couple hundred dollars for a chair that sells for over a thousand dollars there. Aeron is way overrated. It's become

Do chairs actually have a lifespan or am i just cursed?

I've had the same Humanscale Freedom chair for 7 years and it still looks brand new...and it has a 15 year warranty, so not really worried. Didn't have the same luck with Aeron (seat wore away within the first couple of years...known issue)...Knoll chair I had before that squeaked like hell and got

Where do you all get your ffice chairs from?

I have a Humanscale Freedom, which is great if you're on the smaller side. I got it from Office Resale. Refurbished secondhand chairs from office clearances seem to be the best option.

I've tried all the heavy hitters. What now?

i've been using Neutral Posture 8000 for a couple of yrs. Have gone thru aeron size c, gesture, nightingale cxo, btod akir, and have tried leap, fern, and embody. Every chair had issues - aeron's mesh seat, gesture's seat depth, cxo's lumbar, akir's bottoming out seat - NP's not perfect either, lumb

Humanscale Freedom Chair by Niels Diffrient is the one I usually suggest. Not cheap, but worth it and mine lasted more than a decade. This is very dependent on region, but many freelancers can write off items like task chairs out of thier taxes? If you work from home as an an employee, an OH report
