Company has mandated 2 days WFH from next week. Help me set up!

I personally think standing desks are redundant unless you are constantly on video calls, you can just stand and work at your usual desk and see if that's comfortable. At least a 24 inch FHD external monitor is a must, you can adjust the size and resolution based on your use case. If you don't care

Planning to buy this. But before that, i want to ask your suggestion on ergonomic chair in the same price range. Rm400 or less.

i have ikea markus Chair and so far its great for me although its a bit above ur budget. From what i personally see, gaming brand chairs are mainly for asthetics rather than fully ergonomic. Try looking for office chairs if u want fully ergonomic chairs. Ikea has another office chair also, Ikea Flin

Best Chair For Reading From Home!

IKEA Markus has been my chair for the last 10 years. Still great and costs 25% of the Aeron chair.

Where to go to get a good office chair?

Yeah the Ikea Markus is decent for the price. I got mine back in 2020. You should be able to try Herman Miller chairs at Living Edge and see if you can find a second hand one from FB Marketplace or somewhere

How much would you spend on a chair for your WFH setup?

If you are going for an Aeron, you really need to try before you buy. They come in different sizes based on size and weight.

Seriously will someone suggest a brand that doesn't suck

An ikea markus has better reclining mechanism and ergonomy, than most gaming chairs at 2x-3x price.You just have to look for something better, and not get stuck at "but gaming chairs are cheaper than herman miller"

Desk chairs

If you sit for long periods and have back pain, try investing in a good chair. A “cheap” chair for €100 isn’t going to solve the problem. If you’re on a tight budget, I would probably recommend the MARKUS chair from IKEA.

Gaming chair got broken

Personally I'd recommend the Markus from Ikea. It's about as good a chair you can find without going into the €400+ office chair segment.

Vana kontoritool on otsi andmas, oleks vist aeg uus soetada. Oleksin tänulik kui oskate soovitada mõnda budget friendly kontoritooli.

IKEA Markus - 150€ vms? Best bang for buck tool, kunagi tegin researchi ja kuskil oli see valitud isegi kolmandale kohale best chairs vms listis(esimesed 2 olid herman millerid), siiani kõik semud kes proovinud on, ei ole kahetsenud.
