Recommend me a chair.

Kronos · 15 Jul 2017 at 08:33

I think i am going to buy or rather have bought for me a half decent chair as I spend a fair bit of time in a day on it. The current one from Staples was okay when new but pretty rubbish now.
Been looking at a Steelcase Leap v2. A Humanscale Freedom is another one that I am looking at though I was concerned about the lack of adjustment levers, but after watching a video I am quite taken with it.

Any other recommendations for a chair?
I think my budget will have to around the £300 mark hence the second hand market.

Milk crate.

This topic has never been discussed before search recommend me a chair, then buy an IKEA Markus or 2nd hand string chair mesh office thing.

Whatever you decide, get a decent chair not one of them trashy gaming chairs that you see everyone using.

Dont be a bum and buy a car seat attached to a desk chair. Just buy an Aeron and be done with it.

Stretch the budget and get something from Herman Miller.

e: Beaten. Doh.

I've a Herman Miller Aeron, the mesh seat is really comfy compared to traditional chairs.

I was actually given it by a friend, bonus given how much they cost! :eek:

Aeron if you want the most comfort and don't cross your legs.

I'm sitting on a Humanscale Freedom right now, it's dead comfy but so tempting to slouch on

I use one when working. Takes about a week to two weeks to get used to. After that, your productivity goes through the roof.

Stick a javelin in the ground then sit on it.

That's not a chair

Sometimes the best answers, are ones to a different question.

That monitor is quite clearly not on. And to think, they actually want equal pay.

Not On vs. Looking at Porn.

I'd say it balances out.

I'm all for standing up but it should be a sit/stand desk and you change throughout the day. So you still require a chair.

Steelcase Leap without a doubt! I bought one for myself last year and for me it's infinitely better than anything else I've sat on.

Had my Steelcase Leap which i bought second hand just over 5 years ago. Used heavily but still in great condition.

Wouldn't swap it for anything!

Swap it for a brand new Steelcase Leap and a million pounds?

Not for anything. OK well maybe a ham sandwich and packet of cheese & onion.
