LiberNovo - unpaid review
No. Few ergonomic chairs suits people at 6'3 and above. Steelcase karman is pure marketing shit and still is sold

The chair feels outta place? Should I change it?
Yup, lots of great options over r/OfficeChairs/. I personally use an Aeron but there are tons of excellent options at all price points that will fit this space. The Haworth Fern or a Steelcase Gesture or Karman would fit right in. This is definitely its own rabbit hole :D

desk chair recs for petite women? (specifically for criss-cross sitters!)
I have a Steelcase karman (recommended on petite sub), and I really like it! (5’4”)… I def still sit cross-legged in it, but don’t feel like I “have” to as much. My hips have been overall much happier since I started using this chair.

Such nach gutem Bürostuhl statt "Gaming Schrott"
Die Rede ist da so von max. 250€ erstmal, falls es in '26 überhaupt Sinn macht sich 500€+ Stühle zu kaufen, ich bin da nicht so bewandert. Wenn du das Budget nicht hast oder aufwenden willst, ist das halt so. Ich kann nur sagen: ich hab bisher auch ein paar Stühle in der Größenordnung gehabt, waren

Ergonomic yet good-looking chairs for the home office. Do they actually exist?
On the higher end, HM and Steelcase look pretty good honestly. Chairs like the Karman and Embody, or Sayl look nice in a home office because they aren't a boring black executive looking chair. They are expensive though, so other options like Branch, Haworth, and Human Scale may be worth looking into

My chair collection, with thoughts and opinions.
To be completely honest, I'm not sure you even need a chair like an Embody. The Gesture is really comfortable and just as ergonomic. If you find that it's very comfortable, then keep using it. Don't feel pressured to get sucked into spending money on such an expensive chair. :) However, it is true t

Crandall Leap v2 Replacement Seat
I think your best bet is the BTOD Lamia. I have tried the steelcase leap v2, steelcase gesture, herman miller embody, steelcase karman and even the liber nova omni chair. So far the herman miller embody seat is hands down the best seat that doesn't make my butt sore but I'd put the liber novo 2nd pl

WFH chair for the girls
Seconding Steelcase. Close in quality (both ergo and literal make/materials) to Herman Miller with a slightly less offensive price point. I sit cross-legged in mine regularly. If you buy directly from them, it ships fully assembled as well so no fucking around with putting a chair together. I have a

Herman Miller Cosm in India — worth paying extra vs Steelcase Karman?
i’ve spent time in both the Cosm and Karman, and for long sitting hours, the Cosm’s suspension back is genuinely something else—it adapts to your movements in a way the Karman doesn’t quite match. that extra $230 feels worth it for the longevity and the comfort if you're in it all day. the Karman is

Can't decide - have you tried any of these?
Steelcase Amia is the fattest seat cushion. The Karman series is innately stuffer due to not being foam
