Chair. Never understood why somebody would pay for a chair more than 50-60 bucks. Something you can get in staples/wallmart anywhere... My friend bought Herman

Chair. Never understood why somebody would pay for a chair more than 50-60 bucks. Something you can get in staples/wallmart anywhere...
My friend bought Herman Miller for ~$1000 and I called him a donkey.
Then started a job where we had these chairs in the office. Noticed it. Even back when I was broke, rented a room and didn't want to buy anything that would be potentially a problem to move, I still decided to buy it. I use it 6-8 hours a day. Worth it.
2) Higher quality kitchenware. knifes and frying pans. I actually had to go over few iterations cause even though I got more expensive ones they still didn't work well. Now, though, it significantly improved the quality/cooking of my food
3) High quality headphones/ear buds. Something about great quality sound makes it so much better to work out. I can run longer with proper soundtrack.
4) Car that I really wanted. I get behind the wheel and literally enjoy holding it my hand. comfortable/fast/smooth. looks sexy. It is an esthetic pleasure.
5) Very good laptop and widescreen curved screen. using them for work everyday - makes total sense to go with top of the line.
I think it would very cool to have washer/dryer in unit. I don't have that. carrying a bag of underwear to another building in 2020 seems unnecessary.
P.S coffee maker. ~$700... I feel like it payed for itself in first month. I love coffee - it makes it itself. no standing around holding a cup of milk.
- ggregoire 6y ago> Herman Miller I always see that brand mentioned in the comments but they have a lot of different models. Which one do you recommend?
- notmainacct 6y agoThe Aeron is the tried and true classic. The Cosm is an 'updated' version with different back heights, and The Mira is an easier to clean plastic back version. I swear by my Aeron that I picked up at a used office supply store for $400 along with a new desk.
- tedmiston 6y agoIt's worth going to a Herman Miller dealer to try the range of models. Some of them fit different body sizes, especially varying heights and widths much better. I didn't like the way the Aeron felt on my shoulder blades, it's very wide, so I got the Embody which is also quite popular, and much more narrow. The Embody is more expensive but worth it in my opinion. Also remember that both come with an incredible warranty. The only models I wouldn't spend much time looking at are their conference room chairs -- the ones not designed to be sat in comfortably for a full day.
