- KaiserPro 6y agoChairs are not replaced every year, plus that capital expenditure, not opex. For a design house, licensing is not an insignificant cost of business. Its justifiable because thats the fastest tool for their workforce. for a small company without a design team, it probably makes sense to just use the cheap/free stuff and style it out.

- wongarsu 6y agoA chair lasts 10-15 years, so it's more like $40-60/year. $600/year chairs are pretty much the best chairs you can buy for money.
- OscarTheGrinch 6y agoA chair will last many years, lets say 5, so amortised we are talking about a $830 x 5 = $4150 chair for every user. That's massive in my book. Subscription software is a scam.
- bluefirebrand 6y agoGo try and get your employer to buy you a new chair. In most places, that is like pulling teeth
- ipaddr 6y agoI managed to get a new chair once. It took an ergonomics expert visit. Everyone was filled with envy from vp's down the line. In the end management pushed me into full time remote so they could take the chair. And it wasn't even $600.00
- bluefirebrand 6y agoIt is frankly amazing to much how much office politics wind up revolving around chairs in some places.
