Herman Miller Aeron. Just get a used one and save a $1k.

Steelcase Series 1.

I brought one home from work to try it out. It's better than my Herman Miller Embody office work chair. I bought a Series 1 for my son because we both liked it so much. Order from Steelcase directly and you can customize colors.

Also Steelcase here.

Just realized the changed the name to pro from ergochair II and upped the price from like almost $300 to now $500 for the same product lol. Looks like I got a good deal.

Workpro Quantum 9000. Great Aeron alternative for the more budget conscious. https://www.officedepot.com/a/produc...ies-Ergonomic/

SecretLab Omega (wife is under 5'9", Titan for taller/bigger) Listed across the board as a great and durable "gaming" chair..she got the fabric version and it helped her back and shoulders a lot.

We just bought a 2 months ago for $350, worth every penny, but seems prices have increased, may have to wait for summer drop.

Chair is stupid good.

It wasn’t a PoS. I like it. Looked like a brand new chair and I believe it was.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, looks like I’m going with the Aeron. Seems I can get a fully featured size B with posture fit refurbished for around 650.

It goes without saying you have to sit in a chair for almost an hour before you know for sure. One of my offices decided to save a tiny bit of money by getting a similar Office Depot chair for around that price—$500. Compared to a potentially $1400 Aeron (with options) saving almost $1k per chair in an office of 40+ people is significant. In the end the chairs were ok, but not nearly as comfortable as my Aeron at home. I started getting back pain from my Office Depot chair plus 2hr commute. Finally a few of us decided to bring in our own Aerons from home or self-bought (and tax deductible). Bye-bye back pain!

Nice! Aerons are pretty well built. It's going to be hard to get a POS unless there are rips or armrests missing etc.

Since my office is more visilble to guests I went for the softpad executive, the only beef is the armrests arent comfy but I removed those so it fits under my desk better anyway

The camel with polished aluminum looks great and is really comfy

HermanMiller chairs are awesome! I looked at the Aeron around a year ago, but couldn't justify the cost at that time (didn't think about the used option). Anyhow, I went for their Sayl chair instead.

Love it, very comfortable and it looks great in my office, too!
