What's your remote work chair?


I've been working from home for 7 weeks now and my back is killing me. What's your chair solution?

The Amazon mid-back mesh chair served me well for occasional work from home but the lumbar support snapped off and it's time to invest. Help me, hive mind!

Steelcase cobi stool.

I like to work up high and transition from sitting to standing. The foot rest is a god-send for me.

I'm pretty high-energy and fidget/shift throughout the day, so this chair is awesome.

I would have bought a Herman Miller Aeron Stool, but I bought two Steelcase used for about $500 all-in.

People seem to really enjoy Ebody chairs from Herman Miller: https://www.hermanmiller.com/products/seating/office-chairs/...

If you are luck, you can find one at good price used on facebook marketplace.

I have heard good things about the IKEA Markus but have not been able to get one at present.
