I went to a showroom and turns out the Herman Miller wasn't great for ergonomics
The Areon, which is thier most popular chair, comes from a time where ergonomics were considered a fixed caged posture and nothing else. Since the 90’s the field of ergonomics understood that it’s normal to have movements in your chair and made designs that adapt to that. I don’t have places to test

Where to go for luxury office chairs?
graphic office interiors in saanichton has steelcase chairs if you are in that kind of budget (in and around the $1k mark). the leap, series 1/2, amia, and a few others are not mesh. you might need to call ahead to book an appointment, but they had all the chairs as demos to try in-store when I boug

Steelcase amia validity + opinions
That’s a genuine amia, looks brand new too. While Steelcase is known for their Leap, the Amia is pretty highly rated and is pretty adjustable and comfy.

Desk chair recs for petite women
I am 5'0 as well and use a Steelcase Amia. I bought it specifically because it lets me sit cross-legged on it. (As an aside, I found out that I sit cross legged because I have never had a desk that sat low enough for me to put my chair close enough to the ground that I can have my feet flat on the f

desk chair recs for petite women? (specifically for criss-cross sitters!)
I'm 5' 0” and am also a criss cross sitter. I have a SteelCase Amia and it's the best thing I've ever owned. The arms articulate enough that I can sit normally just as comfortably as I can shrimp in it. Super flexible and the seat cushion being nearly flat means no pinch points on my legs when sitti

I bought a Steelcase Leap V2 in November 2024 when I started working from home, and after over a year of sitting in it I can positively say I hate it.
I do think chairs are like beds and sitting in them for a few minutes really doesn't give you an accurate picture of what each one will feel like after sitting in them for hours a day. Personally the only thing that worked for me is buying a chair and returning it if it starts to hurt. I went throug

I hate you guys! /s
The Steelcase Leap V2 is the greatest chair I’ve ever owned. Welcome to comfort bliss. My wife uses an Amia but I prefer the backrest locking positions. Either way, Steelcase for the win.

Too short for office chairs- back can't touch the backrest of the chair.
It’s a steelcase amia! The chair lowers way more than my last one AND the seat pan is shorter

Best ergonomic chair for programmers
The problem is everyone is different. I used to use those super cush executive chairs for years. That worked pretty well until my back started hurting. Then I went through all kinds of chairs from IKEA all the way to the Embody. I finally landed on a Steelcase Leap V2 with an Amia cushion and now I'

Herman miller vs Steelcase?
Best you can do is read reviews pick one and try it out and return if you don’t like it. For example. I’m 6’1” and 210lbs with a more athletic build. I tried all the steelcase ones at a dealer and my boss had a Herman miller aeron I tried. I HATED the aeron, gesture and amia. The leap on the other h
