Aeron for life.

Same. I buy them used and my entire family (kids included) has them for their desk. They’re incredibly comfortable and long-wearing. The gas cylinders are replaceable when needed (cheap and straightforward albeit a lot of force is needed to break the old cylinder free from the base). If you want to save money, find one with a flat cylinder. Many people assume they’re not repairable.

I thought I was gonna break the chair getting the base off. I had to get the biggest rubber mallet I’ve seen and just WHAIL on it. Chair was fine. Better than new after!

I own two "Autonomous ErgoChair Pro" and I'm pretty happy with them. I have a standing desktop and I work standing around 30% of the time, daily.

I absolutely hate that chair but my spouse loves it.

My spouse moved the first one to her office after trying it out for a few days. That is the reason we got a second one :D

The price was within range. I did not want to spend ~2k on a Herman Miller. These days there are many options around the 500 EUR range though.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Any chance you've got pictures? It sounds like a few of us here are happier without the padding, and I've been passively looking out for a sit/stand solution for my in-office days.

just left, but I'll take one when I get in tomorrow - so check back. padding aside i think having a tall work surface and a stool is really alot more natural and convenient than a desk with motorized screws.

I have sit on the ErgoChair Pro (https://www.autonomous.ai/p/ergochair-pro) from Autonomous for years now and it is truly worth investing. The best thing I love about the chair is the lumbar support and its recline. TBH, Very comfortable, a total back save and complete game changer. Have seen on Twitter where lots of influencers talked about it which made me so FOMO. So I had to make a purchase during Christmas and got it good deals too. No words to describe it, I highly recommend you check out their website.
