Best office chair for not more than 500 $
Recently bought a humanscale freedom chair with headrest and it's saving my back/shoulders/neck. I scored a great deal on a used one on FB marketplace for $300 when the chair retails for 1.7k. I found a used office chair warehouse and they carried Herman Miller & steel case chairs mostly because the

Where do you all get your ffice chairs from?
I work in the office furniture industry, so we basically get our pick of ex sample or second hand chairs for working. Everyone in my office sit on Herman Miller chairs except me. I used to have a Humanscale freedom chair, but now I'm in a Diffrient World. I much prefer it for lumbar support and I li

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

Cheap Alternatives to Hag Tion/ Okamura Specere?
In my 20s I could sit on anything and feel fine after long hours. I’m paying for that now in my 30s with lower back and sciatic nerve pain that requires regular steroid shots and physiotherapy. I’m an extreme case but it’s worth considering your long term back health. There are some nicer looking er

Is my Aeron B too small for me?
One important note on Leap v2 recline: it is different than every other chair on the angle. When reclining, the Leap v2 will slide the seat FORWARD (instead of slightly upwards), which some people say is better for gaming/computing as it keeps your legs under the desk and the armrests straight with

Steelcase Leap V2 vs Haworth Fern???
I bought the fern recently. It arrived damaged. They deliver the chairs from Germany to the UK. I bought it with lumbar and I've found it comfortable. My previous chair was a humanscale freedom with headrest. I prefer the fern and will be keeping the replacement chair when it's delivered. I will eve

Are the BTOD folks biased towards Steelcase?
Well...I "work" in the industry and actually know exactly how many chairs Steelcase sells...by model... ;). (as well as all Miller & Knoll chairs...Haworth, not so much...Humanscale, not so much but their percent market share is WAY up in seating compared to the major OEMs) You would be QUITE surpri

Short people of Reddit (5’0”–5’4”) — which chair worked best for you?
for 5'0" to 5'4", seat depth is everything. the aeron size a works if you're on the lower end, but the hard frame can hit the back of your knees. i've seen more short folks land on the steelcase amia because the seat depth adjusts shorter and the back is less aggressive. the leap v2's lumbar can sit

Any Ergonomic Chairs for tall people?
I do believe the Humanscale Freedom with Headrest is available in Europe. I suspect you’ll appreciate the gracefully designed comfort and simple nature of the weight activated tension. This chair has great range for taller people. And its headrest is actually useful while working. It just received a

Libernovo Omni Quick Review
Its good for working if it fits your body. I'm 6'0" and pretty thin and it fits me great with the 48 cm seat. I'm coming from a Humanscale Freedom chair and I love the Omni so far. I loved the Humanscale Freedom chair but the tension piece broke and I don't have my warranty info. The Omni is much mo
