if you don’t buy a used chair from an office liquidator that professionally cleans the fabric before reselling it you’re buying the previous owners impregnated farts, op

trip report: I’m now the proud of two leap v2s, and I was not murdered.

the chairs were definitely farted in many times though, but always in a sexual fashion so therefore it’s ok

Guys, I may not be able to stop itching from all the bedbugs, but at least I'm covered in spiders and my back feels better than it has in a while.

(Seriously, though... I'm happy with my penny pinching, and I do not foresee any regrets other than the arm tops that I forgot can slide INWARD but cant be locked. I do recommend buying a LeapV2)

i've been pondering trying to put an office chair base on an ikea armchair. upside is that they're nice and comfy, downside is that i'll presumably eventually crack open my head combining my own and ikea craftmanship in that way.

I'm on day 2 of having my new aeron in my home office. By far the most surprising thing is the lack of any fart-muffling. Since I'm work-from-home, I'm wearing shorts all day. When I eventually had to let one go, the sound was so loud I was shocked. I'm lucky that I was muted on zoom because it's almost certain my microphone would have picked it up.

So yeah, the chair is amazing in every other regard. But I might need to start wearing jeans while I'm working.

what kind of magical chairs and/or lovely rear end mics have you been using that would allow you rip one unmuted on a call without anyone noticing?

Pretty much any padded office chair I've had previous has been enough to muffle whatever sounds are happening down there.

you need some sorta decent directional mic, a mic that is picking up ambient sound on the room is gonna be a horrorshow with a goon rear end involved

I have done consulting work for (and at times have been directly employed by) the 3 largest contract furniture manufacturers in the US (Steelcase, Herman Miller, and Haworth) and thus have parked my delightful buttocks in all of their stuff.

Herman Miller Embody wins by a country mile so I bought one for home and it's the best. Everything else is scrub tier so please feel free to exit this thread if you aren't currently sitting in a Herman Miller Embody.

Also Haworth sucks. The company, the furniture, everything.

also if you buy furniture from the major contract furniture outfits, all of them can be recovered so if you hate the color or the fabric is full of nerd farts, talk to your local dealer service center and they can get you sorted out.

The gesture is better than the leap. The gesture is a chair you just kinda slump into and sit weird, legs up, slouching, sitting sideways, whatever. It just moves around and keeps you from destroying yourself while you do it. The leap I actually have to sit in like a normal chair.

i am addicted to buying chairs used. last week I bought a herman miller aluminum group lounge for $240. last month I got a cassina corbusier lc3 petit modele for $280.

facebook and craigslist can be veeeery addictive once you realize that if you're on it 24/7 you can score some amazing poo poo

ok some local company called formway designed some chair called the formway life which was manufactured and sold in the us by knoll

because it’s a local company (10 minutes drive from my house) there a lot of secondhand ones around, whereas herman miller and steelcase stuff is rare.

are those chairs dogshit? i have a mirra but kinda want a second chair and can get a formway life for like 300 localbux
