My wife and I used our first stimulus checks to buy Herman Miller chairs for our home offices, and it's probably the single biggest QoL increase I can remember from a purchase.
- trewnews 6y agoIt has been the worst for me since I have bought a Herman Miller Aeron. The thing leans to the right. I have got replacements, but they were all made the same month and have the same leaning issue. Some worse some better. Such poor quality control.
- BelenusMordred 6y agoI'm honestly intrigued how a 7 year old account has 4 comments in total. All in the last 2 months. I mean the signup flow is basically frictionless here, and yet.
- trewnews 6y agoI just decided to start talking on public forums. I had an old account in my password manager that I never used to make a comment. I do not understand why my above comment has been downvoted. It is my experience with the product.
- BelenusMordred 6y agoFair enough. May you continue on commenting for another 7 years.
- aphextron 6y agoThe quality has gone downhill the last few years with the new "remastered" Aeron chairs, IMO. Lots more plastic and thinner/lighter metal components. Anyone looking to get one you're better off with a 5+ year old refurbished classic. Half the price and honestly better.
- whnless 6y agoNot trying to defend HM (never tried their chairs), but I own a new Steelcase Leap V2 chair and I have the same issue. The replacement is as bad, leaning to the right. Apparently it is a design feature. I don't understand how these expensive furniture shops can ignore such obvious issues.
- trewnews 6y agoThis was my experience with a Steelcase Gesture Headrest. The refused to fix it and just wanted to give me a refund. The lean was so bad that I was falling out of the chair.
- cultofmetatron 6y agoI find the hag capisco more comfortable for working. something about it just makes you naturally sit up straight. I slouch in anything else.
- leetcrew 6y agogreat chairs for the office, but awful if you want to play guitar at your computer. I guess you can't have everything in one chair.
- klyrs 6y agoA few of us here are on Team Piano Bench because it encourages good posture. You can't have everything, but you can totally play guitar and also store a lifetime of sheet music...
- tombert 6y agoI didn't get a stimulus check but I similarly bought a decent SecretLab chair for me and my wife once COVID hit and I absolutely love it. Until the pandemic, I rarely used my desk at home, so it just had a cheapy desk chair I got on Amazon years ago, but once it became my main "office", it became clear that a cheap chair going to really hurt my back and butt if I used it multiple hours a day.
