the ergonomic people a long time ago told me to not use armrests and so i took em off and so far my spine and shoulders haven't disintegrated so there's a data point for u

I used to slouch on armrests real bad so I took mine off and it's been good since

of course at home I'm sitting on a dining chair but let's be frank, I'm never in it as many continuous hours as I was in my office chair

update: i can't remember how they go on

update 2: ugh i'm not doin all that

no armrests, but large deep desk. push your keyboard all the way back so your entire forearms are on the desktop (this keeps your wrists flat) and adjust chair height so your elbows are comfortable.

this strategy precludes having your desk covered in funko pops and nerf guns though

i found my chair sitting on a curb with a sign reading "FREE" and the original tags still on it, looking totally unused. i got it home, and it wouldn't lean back, so i looked at the base and they put it on backwards (despite the big sticker reading "FRONT" with an arrow pointing towards the back). fixed that and friends, i got a free chair. it's probably a POS that will fall apart, but i've had it awhile and didn't get ants or bed bugs or anything, so i guess that's a win

Herman Miller Embody. mine is 11 years old and still awesome. I don’t ever think about my chair, it’s that good. I like the Aeron, this is the evolution.

I got my last chair by the dumpster near my apartment building. It barely had any signs of use and worked perfectly. Although not very adjustable, it reclines properly and has a pretty comfortable shape by default for the back and rear end. I later googled it and it's a lower-midrange model worth about $200 new.


But with a headrest

I got myself a Steelcase Think when it became clear this year will be WFH and it's very comfy and adjustable but I find myself still screwing around with it. I think one thing I can't quite get used to is that the old chair has the seat shaped for your butt and thighs, while the Steelcase is just a flat surface more or less.

I’m wfh and have been using a lovely staples chair I took the armrests off of for years now, and I try to use my standing desk function more instead.

Always wanted one of the fancier chairs but I keep putting it off because I want to try them and I’d need to drive 2+ hours each way to find a reseller with decent inventory.

You know I don't even know. It's weird to have the taste of candy with the texture of a filled biscuit in your mouth at the same time. And they don't really go well with coffee or tea. But it's not a bad taste and they're all gone (I didn't eat them all myself) so vOv

e: I don't think I'd buy them again, because ammonium chloride and tea don't go together that well, and I only eat biscuits with my 9 o'clock tea.

i never asked for this
when I was in the navy we had a huge budget to fill so we bought 100 aerons and most of them just sat in an empty room till they got sent to DRMO (defense reutilization materials office?) where they resell the poo poo in like an auction I think. I wish I would have snagged one but I was a poor sailor.

I did contemplate taking one apart and smuggling it out in pieces but was real chickenshit back then. still am in fact

I should know better than to get my hopes up for something that is little more than a gimmick. Ammonium chloride does not, in fact, go with everything.
