If you're talking about the Eames Management chairs, I've done it. They're surprisingly good, given that the arms are fixed and, well...metal. You just have to adjust the height so that your elbows aren't clonking on the armrests while you work at a desk.
The Eames put a lot of thought into ergonomics and quality, so their stuff is better than your standard OfficeMax special. But I'd still pay for a Steelcase Leap or an Aeron (especially since they're cheaper on the used market).
- rdl 14y agoI hate those chairs, mainly because you can't take off the armrests. We had a designer propose the EQ3 version for an office, and there was almost open revolt -- some people love aerons and some people just tolerate them, but there wasn't another single chair which was at least ok for everyone and liked by most people. I've really never understood Eames fetishization in general.
- timr 14y agoYeah, it wouldn't be my first choice for an office chair either. I use a Leap at work (not a big fan of Aerons because of the lack of adjustments), but I have a knockoff Eames at home, and I've been surprised at how comfortable the thing is for long coding sessions. I definitely bought it for the looks, though. ;-)
