Why have so many people started to buy those racecar chairs? Did Twitch run some promotion where you get a free year of Twitch Turbo and a special DXracer emoticon set with every purchase or some poo poo? They will last you about 1 1/2 years with immaculate care before they fall to pieces.

I ordered the autonomous standing desk. When I went to order it they were having a sale on their chair so I bought one of those too.




Might be a few more weeks before I'm finished with the office space, we'll see how it all turns out.

I also have that desk on order, but I'm waiting on reviews of the chair.

Tbf the all black models aren't that ugly, and I adore the stiff foam.
Price wise it was the best deal on a chair I could find, I've been burnt by ikea before

It's super solid and I can see it lasting 5 years easy

If you buy stuff that lasts too long it gets harder to justify replacing it when you get bored, or when something better comes along.

Please come back to the thread and report on both, I have seen adds for both and would love to pick up one of those chairs for the lady's office. She is using a lovely $20 staples thing, but doesn't spend enough time to justify another Aeron - this would be a good compromise. Likewise, I've been considering a standing desk for ages.

I will, but the chair doesn't ship until late December, so it might be a bit

How bad a case of torticollis do you get when using the TV? I'm looking for a way to put a tv in the same room as my computer and if I put then side by side I don't have enough space to 'centre' any of the screens with the speakers so I was toying with this idea.

None. I use it to throw up Youtube videos or my Spotify playlist or whatever while I'm working, so I'm mostly glancing up at it occasionally. Also, the desk is huge so it's much less of an angle than it looks when I 'm sitting at it.

If you're willing to take up a lot more space in the room, you could always move that desk out a few feet so you won't have to look up so far up to see the big TV.

I am not willing to do that and it doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Besides, if I pulled the desk back, I would have to mount the TV higher - the monitors would be in the way. It's pretty much perfect for me the way it is now.
