Ergonomic mesh office chairs are overrated
Not all ergonomic chairs are created equal. You actually have to adjust the chair to your body and sit properly. No chair works for everyone. Herman Miller Aeron is great for me, but a Mira 2 kills my back, and I hated the Steelcase Leaps they had at my last job. Ergonomic chairs are not supposed to

Chair cylinder rubbing carpet
Steelcase cylinders ride low to support shorter users. With time, they tend to push even lower and rub on cut pile carpets. My Leaps both have this issue. Yours should clear a hard chair mat without any problems, but if not, you can see if BTOD can help you out, or just get taller caster wheels for

Scaun pt programator cu 12h+ pe zi de stat la birou
Herman Miller Embody Gaming (eventual cu headrest-ul Atlas) - de departe cel mai bun scaun pe care l-am avut vreodată, înainte am avut Aeron Remastered full option, Steelcase Leap v2 tot asa full option, IKEA Markus, și embody le bate pe toate EDIT - Acum am văzut bugetul my bad, dacă nu găsești sec

suggest me a good ergonomic chair for petite women please
Also, 4'9" here. I got the (Steelcase Leap v2). My feet can touch the ground. It can be a bit pricey depending on your budget, but you may be able to find one at a liquidation warehouse for half the price. I lucked out and got mine in really good condition for $350. Alternatively, there is the Herma

What did you think was pretentious, until you tried it and realized it was worth it?
I have used a Herman Miller Aeron at a previous company, it was very nice, though I never kinda "researched" it at the time. I needed a new chair for my home office a few years ago due to back pain, and realized that my desk chair at work was comfortable for my situation. Turns out it's a Steelcase

Looking for an ergonomic chair for my petite girlfriend
I’m also a petite woman and have a Steelcase Leap. It’s so comfortable, all day, and is still going strong 5+ years later. I opted for no arms but you can include them. They are very adjustable.

Ich finde nicht den richtigen Stuhl
Budget zu gering. Du hast einen bmi von über 37. Du musst wesentlich mehr Geld in die Hand nehmen für was ordentliches. Sowas kauft man nicht in "hab gerade wenig Geld, aber brauche das doch"-Momenten. Den Stuhl willst du für 20 Jahre nutzen und nicht nur 2. Für 80% der Stühle bist du zu schwer. Zud

How a Chair Exposed the Worst YouTubers
The Aeron and Steelcase Leap support different body types differently. Unless you’ve sat in an Aeron, I’d recommend finding an office liquidator or the like to try sitting in both. I do not find the Aeron comfy, but my Leap V2 is the best $500 (refurbished) I’ve ever spent all these years later.

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.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?
any particular expensive chair isn't necessarily the right chair for you. I went to a place that specialized in refurb office furniture and had the chance to sit in all the big name models and figure out which one was the most comfortable for me. I went in planning to get an Aeron, but the Steelcase
