Got a Steelcase Leap v1 at home that needs a little work but is so much more comfortable than anything I've ever sat in at a desk.

My job is moving buildings in a few months and is basically acquiring all new stuff in the process, so I've asked about getting a new chair and inquired about a budget.

Boss: "Oh yeah I'm sure they can toss out $100 or something for a new chair. What were you thinking?"

Fuzz: "More like $1000."

Boss:

Fuzz: "We sit here for 8 hours every day and you were out all last season with serious back issues that you've said, repeatedly, were probably caused by your lovely chair."

Boss:

So now we have a dream chair thread in Slack. I enjoy the Leap v1 I have and would be perfectly happy with another, but if I can try another fancy chair on someone else's dime then I'm gonna do it.

I'm not sold on mesh since I like something a bit more firm, but I also haven't sat in a nice quality mesh chair so my opinion might be skewed. I'm not big into high-backed chairs--one of the reasons I wanted the Leap v1 instead of v2 was the shorter backrest.

Any recommendations?

Wish I understood what everyone likes about the Embody. In the HM showroom it felt like there was barely any lumbar support compared to something like the Leap.

I'm coming to this from a six year old $200 who knows where it came from chair, so my experience may be skewed. But I'm 6'3" and this is the first chair that I can actually sit in properly with feet on the ground. It's glorious (and also probably my brain rationalizing this kind of money).

Oh and if you have toddler aged kids, the box it comes in is basically a playground. It's a hell of a cardboard fort.

I'm the mismatched monitor in an otherwise fancy af setup

Yeah, I agree tbh, but the ultrawide is the first monitor I got that was basically top tier and also bought for me by a parent who�s passed so it�s hard to get rid of.

Side note: that desk is like a $70 Amazon special and it makes me laugh when I think about the $ amount that�s screwed into that particle board/reliant on particle board not breaking. Gotta rep my white trash heritage somehow

The keyboard is also too close for me to see the last 30% of the leftmost monitor, so a desk update is irritatingly in order, but Jesus gently caress are nice desks expensive. Says the guy with an Embody. But the Embody is for my spine. A desk just� holds poo poo.

Sir Sidney Poitier posted:

This was actually what I tried first - whilst they do roll okay, they're actually way worse than the regular double wheel plastic casters it came with when it comes to them turning. I think it's these which have been causing the damage when I've tried to move the chair in a direction that has required the rollerblade caster to swivel and it's pulled at the fibres.

Whilst I appreciate a hard mat is going to be the best option I'm just not ready to give up the feel of carpet under my feet - it's been years that I've been missing it so I figure I'll just go that route if/when it gets damaged enough.

Why don�t you just position the mat so your feet are on carpet under your desk and the chair stays on the mat?

This is the most recent Eames I had to repair.

Someone had already used some drywall screws on it.

They usually break on the shock mounts, or they sheer off on the dog ear part.

I replaced all the mounts on it and it turned out as good as I can hope for, but I hate that I can't guarantee the repair even using HMs parts because the mounts are literally just epoxied on at angles that cause the plywood to sheer off sometimes.

Managed to get a basically unused Steelcase Leap v1 from a thrift store locally for $20; only wear was some scratches on the armrest, probably from being moved in and out of storage. The gas cylinder was stuck initially but after sitting in my garage for a couple of weeks, I think the heat and humidity loosened it up a bit, because it seems to be adjusting again without any problems. There's definitely some aging problems (the ship date on the bottom indicates this is a 22 year old chair) - it's leaving a bit of residue behind on the carpet and sinking occasionally. I think I am going to try cleaning it up and adjusting the set screw to see if that helps, but even if I have to replace the gas cylinder I'll still have paid less than a hundred bucks.

I've been working out of cheap office chairs for years and they greatly accelerated my scoliosis, I was pretty prepared to shell out for new but this one has the sense of accomplishment that comes from getting a really, really sick deal

That chair looks like it�s in ridiculously good condition for being 22 years old. Sick deal for sure.

Oh. So that's why my chair suddenly started tilting back and forth so easily.

Well, for about $75 total, I got, like... three months out of an Aeron. Cool I guess. And now I have a spare gas cylinder, new in the box, for a chair that I don't like and probably can't repair. At least the cylinder was a free replacement.

$75 is pretty cheap as far as things like this go.

Howwww? According to the dimensions listed on their site, the Embody seat depth maxes out at 18". I'm 6'4" and need a chair that has something like 21" of seat depth. I've tried the Aeron C at the HM store only for the salesman to go "... huh, I don't think we can really help you." Same thing with the Gesture, and an assortment of cheapo chairs. Nothing loving works for me. And it's not like I'm all legs either.

Think I'll have to buy a no-name big & tall, just for the seat depth rather than the width. Some 21" deep and 35" wide chair or something.

I guess it depends on whether your height is in your legs or torso, but at 6�3� it�s just right for me when at max height.

Been considering a new chair and sat in an Embody tonight. I wanted to like it but I feel like it was pushing my upper body forward. It almost felt like I had the forward tilt mode engaged from an Aeron or something. Is this to be expected?

The following are adjustable on the Embody:

Tilt resistance
Width of arms
Height of arms
Length of seat (it literally rolls up to be shorter)
Lumbar support
Height

I would guess that the tilt resistance was too stiff for your taste; if you get the resistance right, it�ll be where you like it.

Thoughts head rests? I found a place selling used Steelcase chairs for $200-$300. I believe they were the amias and V1.

They felt very nice but none of them head rests. I�m wondering how useful they are for sitting 8+ hours a day.

I remember thinking that someone was legitimately insane when they said a headrest didn�t matter with the embody and they ended up being absolutely correct. No headrest is needed, whatever it is, there�s something about it that makes me sit in a way that my head doesn�t fall back in a way that I�d need one.

I�ve legit had back to back 16 hour computer touching work days in my chair with zero discomfort � I will Stan for this loving chair forever (and that�s not to justify the stupid amount of money that I spent on it, but because it�s honestly as comfortable at the end of the day as it was at the start).

To be clear: when you first sit in it, it�s just pretty good. Definitely not full price good. But the thing is, it�s consistently and unerringly good for endurance sitting. It�s also good if you�re a little taller (I�m 6�3� and having my feet flat on the ground in a natural position is still amazing to me) If you�re in your chair for full work days, I would incredibly strongly recommend this chair.

please tell Herman Miller to send my check soon, tia

The thing about the embody is that it it�s the same level of nice 16 hours later as it was when you first sat in it (and that you can adjust it to be however you want). You�ll be underwhelmed at first but for Serious Endurance Desk Sitting there�s nothing better I�ve found

What's the current recommendation for about 200 dollars. I can go up to 300 if my options become significantly better.

I am not wealthy; I paid slightly under retail for my embody (a chair that can be $2000) and would do so again with zero hesitation. Nothing better for endurance sitting. Seriously, look at the posts mentioning it in the thread.

It makes more sense when you think about the cost of medical treatment once you have a back/leg issue vs just buying a chair that is perfect for you. It has a 12 year warranty and there are plenty of people online who have had them for a long time.

My in laws have two Aerons that are in basically perfect shape with heavy use after 15 years as well � I can�t attest to how they are with endurance sitting, but they seem to be great chairs.

If you sit for your job the majority of the time, bite the bullet. That�s a whole lot cheaper than back pain, buying a $300 chair every couple years, etc etc, oh and a 12 year warranty and a spine that isn�t lowtax tier. Alive lowtax tier.

tehinternet: Feb 14, 2005; Semantically, "you" is both singular and plural, though syntactically it is always plural. It always takes a verb form that originally marked the word as plural.

Also, there is no plural when the context is an argument with an individual rather than a group. Somfin shouldn't put words in my mouth.

You'll enjoy it, it's a good chair. You get it fully assembled in a big-rear end box.

Since I never see it mentioned on here, I think the HumanScale Freedom is a good chair too. I was considering getting it but the headrest kept digging into my shoulders even at it's highest setting. I'm 6' for reference.

If you�ve got young kids they�ll love that loving box. We have like five small children (6 and under at the time) in our immediate-ish family and their reaction to the box was worth the price of the chair.

I cut holes in the box and they turned it into a fort/bunker that was in our living room for a month. It was dope.

Are... are you not sure?

It was more deciding where the cutoff was for �immediate-ish� cousins hits ten on my wife�s side before we even consider the ferals on my side of the family.

It�s a lot of kids.

But yeah, the Embody comes in the best box I�ve ever seen. Even at 37 I wanted to make a fort out of that poo poo.

I don�t know what the issue is, if I dont know how to dial the Embodys settings in, or if my posture has always been completely poo poo, but its working me over

My posture was poo poo. It kinda encourages you to sit properly. Feet flat on the ground, back curved naturally.

Can you be more specific? Some goons might be able to give you advice if you can detail what you mean by �working you over�

Early impressions of the Embody: it's like this thing was made specifically for me. It's perfect. I'm now a convert to the church of Herman Miller.

Welcome, brother. May it�s adjustable cushions bring comfort and support to your spine and leg parts. Praise be.
