The Desk Chair thread
Just getting the ball rolling here. Desk chairs are often discussed throughout the forum, so why not a central topic for it?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeron_chair



Herman Miller Embody (~ $1600)
http://gizmodo.com/5071571/herman-mi...ve-ever-sat-on
http://www.hermanmiller.com/CDA/SSA/...0-p271,00.html



Humanscale Liberty Chair (~ $800)
http://www.humanscale.com/products/l...TOKEN=78724121



Humanscale Freedom Chair (~ $850)

Re: The Desk Chair thread
Good thread idea, I'm looking for a new chair, though I wish I had thought to get one last month (so I could get the deduction for 2008).

Also, I'd be interested in ergonomic seat/back cushions.

I have the Ikea Markus myself, and it's really terrific, esp for larger persons like yourself.

I have a Herman Miller Aeron and love it, takes a while to get it super dialed in but once you do, its fantastic.

I've been planning on getting the Freedom at some point I just keep putting it off.

Steelcase Leap (Worklounge) is also highly recommended I believe.

Re: The Desk Chair thread
I have a Freedom and don't really like it, its "okay". I'd be willing to trade with someone who feels identically about their other desk chair.

Have the Freedom and I love it. Used to get a little stiff grinding, but since I got it--and a vertical mouse--I've had no problems.

Agree. Best thing about it is you simply don't feel it. Wish I could take it with me to the casino.

I think the Embody looks pretty sick, has anyone tried it?

Re: The Desk Chair thread
Good advice: Sit in a chair for an hour before buying it.
I bought an Aeron because I could get a great deal on it and to be honest I'm not very happy with it. The adjustability is excellent though
