While dumb expensive the Aeron chair makes sitting at a desk all day do able and not painful.
Agree. You can also find them second hand at pretty decent prices
They've come down in price and there are actually better options out there now.
What are those better options...?
Fleeing into the woods.
Curious about the chairs too though.
See, I keep trying to tell the wife that, but she's all "how gonna eat in the woods?" Apparently squirrels was the wrong answer.
The cheapest chair you can find with a great lumbar pillow that fits your back, and a butt pillow
I will let you know if I turn into a shrimp
Used steel case leap. Doesn't look pretty or have RGB, or a built in mini fridge or whatever, but it works and it costs like 100-200usd.
You're talking about v1 I assume? V2's go for quite a bit more
Both ours are v2. We bought them at like office wholesale warehouse things. Like when offices closed and sell off all their stuff.
