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

I bought a Steelcase Leap but quickly realized the Aeron would’ve been better for how much I fart in my chair. The mesh is more aerodynamic

Looking to get a new Gaming chair.
Honestly skip the gaming chairs and get a decent office chair instead. Herman Miller Aeron or even a Steelcase Leap will destroy any "gaming" chair for comfort and your back will thank you later

WFH folks, is a $1,000 chair really worth it?
Yes but you can spend half that on a refurb. Crandall Office Furniture. Steelcase or Herman Miller. Couldn’t be happier with my Leap v2.

Steelcase Leap. Not cheap, but very, very comfortable, especially for long sessions sitting.

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?
Similar story here, but I bought a reconditioned Steelcase Leap V2 for less than $400 with free shipping. It was in like-new condition, and has done wonders for my back. They go for $1300 new, which was a non-starter for me.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner?
My family uses pre-owned Steelcase Leap & Amia chairs bought off Facebook Marketplace or put out to trash by local businesses (businesses throw out so much stuff for shinier new things). They've been more comfortable and held up better than whatever office chairs we had been buying from Staples or O

After 6 years I upgraded my gaming chair!
I thought the same until I started getting shoulder pains, then got a steelcase leap chair. Shoulder pain gone and will never go back to cheap office chairs.

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.

Looking for the Best Office Chair for Lower Back Pain Mainly
Does adjustable lumbar really make that big of a difference? Yes. I'd say this one is worth it, it is a major touch-point on a chair. How firm should the seat be for long term comfort? Slightly "too firm" if buying new, since it will soften over time. Just right if buying used. Are headrests worth i
