Re: [OT] Chairs for home office

[Jorke Odolphi]

I’ve been using a herman miller setu at home for the past month – cannot 
recommend it enough. No arm rests, set height and slides (on a wooden floor) - 
amazing chair – I’ve done a couple of 16 hour days, I would usually be 
physically tired and sore etc – totally gone.

don’t listen to idiots that may tell you to use a stand up desk, when you have 
to do real work invest in a really good chair for your health – it has a 12 
year warranty.

Hi all,

back working in a home office and my chair is giving me conniptions. I've been 
looking into investing into one that's going to last me a long time.

In previous companies I've used Aerons and they are awesome though really 
expensive. I've heard recently good things about the Steelcase 
Leap as well so was 
wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions?

Cheers,
Dave

I tried one of these in the store recently and yeah it was good. Also tried
http://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/performance-work-chairs/sayl-chairs.html
which looks awesome but made me think I might break it!

I've been tempted by the standup desk a few times but generally try and get
5 mins of walking an hour or so.

My favourite is laying down. Asleep is when I'm at my most creative, but my
coding style slips a bit when I'm asleep so it's a trade off.

I use an Aeron char. No complaints, can sit in it all day. I'm a tad on the
larger side so I bought a size C. For most I'd recommend a size B. They're
great though, good investment.

Re: [OT] Chairs for home office

[Dave Walker]

Update on this if anyone cares. I went and tried out a Steelcase Leap
yesterday (showroom in Auckland is only open M-F). Felt plasticy to me and
cheap and even though it does have a lot of good options. If I do pull the
trigger it's going to be for the Aeron. I have a feeling it's also because
I'm on the larger side and so will prob go with the 'C' option as well.

Price wise was $745 for the Leap and $1500+ for the Aeron. Looking at the
options it can get up to $3000 for the Aeron if you bling it out with all
the swanky extras.

RE: [OT] Chairs for home office

[Anthony Borton]

It terms of all the swanky extras for the Aeron, the one thing I wish I had 
added was the adjustable lumber support. I’ve been super happy with everything 
else about the chair just wish I had included this one thing.

Love my Aeron – it’s the only chair I can sit in comfortably for multiple 
hours. I got mine (and one for my wife) on eBay for about the price of the 
Leap. Mine’s a C with adjustable lumbar support and arms. Sam’s is a B with 
adjustable lumbar but fixed arms.

I had to wait a bit for them to come up, but it only took a week or so.

don’t listen to idiots that may tell you to use a stand up desk, when you have 
to do real work invest in a really good chair for your health – it has a 12 
year warranty.

Idiots? That's harsh

Subject: [OT] Chairs for home office

Hi all,

back working in a home office and my chair is giving me conniptions. I've been 
looking into investing into one that's going to last me a long time.

In previous companies I've used Aerons and they are awesome though really 
expensive. I've heard recently good things about the Steelcase 
Leap<http://www.steelcase.com/products/office-chairs/leap/> as well so was 
wondering if anyone else had any other suggestions?

Cheers,
Dave

Re: [OT] Chairs for home office

[Preet Sangha]

I've just started a new job, and am trying to do the standing up desk
thing. It's quite hard work (esp since I'm walking a few K in each
direction from home too). At this moment any chair is a good one ;-)


regards,
Preet, in Auckland NZ

You gotta alternate Preet, stand and sit. Standing all day is really hard

Thank you, I am. I have plenty of meetings too where I have to sit too.

I started by doing a couple of hours a day with long sit down sessions at
the start and have built that up.

Re: [OT] Chairs for home office

[Tony Wright]

A good anti-fatigue mat helps too. I went and bought a pack of gym mats
(those jigsaw ones) from Bunnings for around $18. There are 4 in a pack and
these ones have carpet on top. I use all four and get a decent amount of
cushioning. Without them, I get a sore back after a while, and the
traditional anti-fatigue mats aren't padded enough for me.
