i had one of the ikea chairs before they got popular. the elastic on the lumbar support disintegrated so it turned into a back destroying hammock. the steelcase has a bunch of curved thick wires that are a little bit springy but also limit the amount of stretch

The most annoying part about lovely chairs is when they tilt back but the seat and the back are one piece and they both go back at the same time.

my last chair broke when the welded seam between the pole and seat gave out. my current chair lists down when I sit on the right side but not the left. I'm not even that fat

my home office chair is far and away my most expensive piece of furniture (unless we count a mattress as furniture)

i spend like 20 hours a week in that seat, minimum, and often more. poo poo is important.

I have some steelcase deal at work that looks cheap but is actually ok; my other offices either have the same thing or just some random meeting room chair

at home I have a plain wooden chair

either case I don't really care because I don't sit for endless hours either place

it's called the stormtrooper chair because sitting in it for any prolonged period will render you unable to shoot straight

no, it could not really be much worse. it's on par with a stool. it is only modestly better than sitting on the floor.

go to officemax and buy some cheap lovely chair with adjustable armrests. it's your health at stake. jesus christ.

i have spent many years with chronic pain because i didn't pay attention to this poo poo

the stakes are serious. at peak, it was pain so bad i couldn't sleep at night.

there's little you can do about it after the fact, because it's induced by nerve damage. i have found ways to cope, and reduce my pain level, but i will never return to my previous level of activity

tl;dr: your chair matters

buy a fully adjustable chair. it can be a chinese knockoff from officemax. that's fine. but it needs to be fully adjustable.
