Whatchu sittin on? (chair thread)

[CheapSuitG]

I am using an old office chair but looking to replace it as well. I have been eyeing a couple Herman miller knock offs.

At work we have Herman Miller Aeron chairs but they were bought used during the pandemic from a company that went under. You could probably could get one under the $500 but make sure it is a real one.

I am "that guy" and wiped it down extensively with a Clorox wipe when I started here 2 years ago and while it looked clean, the nasty wipes showed how gross it really was. I don't want years of people's farts in my office.

In my searches I saw one with this advertising piece in the photos. Breathable, stay cool all day and the "golf" ball really got a good laugh.

I'll take both seat heaters, the one in use and the spare in the background.

Don't need the shaggy chair, though, so I guess the whole deal's off.

Gotta take the chair… he uses it more than I do, I’ll meet you in Blaine and I’ll pass em through the fence final offer.

I have an ancient HM Aeron in chrome gotten at a business closure for (relative) peanuts 20 years ago. Doesn't have every point of adjustment (really wish I had armrest height adjustment), but it's been decent. Maybe I'll replace it here soon, but I haven't really found a better chair than it.

Mine is our fourth dining table chair since we have the table against a wall instead of the middle of the room (don't get me started)

We got new stools in one of the labs at work and they seemed super nice, really comfortable and lots of features, so I looked up the model number so I could grab one for the workshop. Apparently they're $2500. My butt is not that important.

Sheesh. Are they made by Eames?

What I use:




Not as good as a more serious and expensive chair, but plenty comfy and an unbeatable price.
I put pads on mine, to better protect the seat from tears.

Note added - from Ikea

Get yourself a used Herman Miller Aeron and call it a day. Where I live, there is generally a good selection of them on Craigslist for well under $300. I’ve tried a lot of other office/gaming chairs, and none of them have been as comfortable or good for my posture. They’re build very well, too. Mine is a 2001 and still feels as good as new.

During covid, for the brief time I got to work from home, I bought a remanufactured Steelcase Leap v2 from Crandall Office Furniture. Back in 2020 it came in at just under $500, even with a couple upgrades. Looks like they've since gone up considerably in price, but should still be quite a bit cheaper than brand new. When I got mine, I couldn't even tell that it was remanufactured, it looked (and even smelled) brand-new to me.

At work, we have the cheap Office Depot/Office Max Herman Miller knock-offs. They are adequate, but my Steelcase Leap is noticeably better. I often think about buying another to take to work, considering I spend more time in it than I do my bed!
