I wish I could afford a steelcase. I got a tempurpedic around when pandemic started. it’s better than any other cheap chair I’ve used but it’s nowhere near as comfortable as the steelcase leap

All the chairs linked here are $700+ lol. I may as well just steal a chair from work.

I bought a Herman Miller Embody in 2009 and it's still awesome. I don't think about my chair anymore, which is what I wanted after coming from some OfficeMax crap.

It's a white frame, yellow fabric color that they don't make anymore. Looks like the 2009 JJTrek Enterprise

When my next bonus comes in, I'm gonna ditch this $300 Amazon chair and finally get an Aeron. We had them back when I was in the office, and I miss it badly.
