Ask HN: What's the best desk/chair combo for developers?

Any simple Ikea flat desk.

Hacked Ikea dual monitor stand (http://www.ikeahackers.net/2013/03/monitor-stand-with-ribba-...)

Herman Miller Aeron chair

Not sure about the desk, but Herman Miller Aeron chair without a doubt.

Best acquisition I've made. Expensive at first, but with good care it can last 10+ years easy.

I've had a problem with mine recently (six years after purchase). The nice folks from Herman Miller promptly replaced half of it, and took care of the shipping both ways. They all come with a standard 10 yrs warranty when purchased from an authorized dealer.

I just bought a Herman Miller Aeron.. and made a big desk with trestle table legs and a door.

It's by far the best chair I've ever had. Totally worth it. The desk is exactly the height I want - the size I want.. because I made it so. :)

Go for the chair that fits you best - even if expensive. You're going to be sitting in it for 8hrs+ a day, right?

I went with an adjustable sitting/standing GeekDesk and a economy adjustable mesh back/memory foam seat chair. The desk was worth the money, it goes up and down a few times a day, excellent when you need a high worktable; I feel healthier for getting it. The chair, is quite comfortable but I've never sat in an Aeron to know the difference I think I would have liked it to be full mesh.

I've worked 40-50 hours/week at an adjustable stand-up desk for three years now. No chair. I rarely move the desk from it's highest setting. I do get tired on a rare occasion and sit in a recliner with my laptop on my lap.
