Wall-mounted coat racks?
Legit Eames Hang-it-alls. Although they’re silly expensive and don’t do anything that a few bucks worth of properly mounted hooks from the hardware store won’t also do.

The Best office chair for back pain that is Affordable and Long Hours sitting?
I’m 52 and I’ve had this chair for three years now. It’s the first one in my life that I’ve been able to sit in for hours at a time and not have any lower back pain. It’s incredible. https://www.dwr.com/office-chairs/eames-executive-chair/100529367.html? Worth every penny. Quality cost money.

Herman Miller or Steelcase office chair?
Neither. This is the one you want: https://www.dwr.com/office-chairs/eames-executive-chair/2055.html?lang=en_US&sku=465021 I’ve had mine three years and it’s the most comfortable office chair I’ve ever sat in in 30 years. I can sit in this thing for hours on Zoom calls and not have any issues. Can’t say that for any other chair except for my Eames lounge chair in my living room.

I've never owned a nice chair in my life (like a living room type of chair), ready to invest...
#TLDR: Ergonomic chairs from reputable brands are 100% worth the extra money. These can easily become stupidly expensive though. I own: - HM Embody (6 mo old) - Eames Lounge Chair (2 mo old) - HM Rodhe Easy Chair (2 weeks old) - Recliner from PC Richard and Son. (1yr old) In my personal experience, all but the recliner are stupidly comfortable **for my body**. Sitting and sleeping in the recliner always hurts my neck and tail bone really bad. I tested the recliner at the *PC Richard* for almost 30 minutes and thought that it was good enough for me. However, soon enough I've realized how wrong I was. I'm sure it's not the price or the materials, it's a bad design. My mom really enjoys it and thinks it's comfortable. She supports her claims by falling asleep and waking up without issues. On the other hand, getting one fancy chair (or three) is stupidly expensive and may not be worth under most scenarios. However, if you bite the bullet, you immediately notice the difference. I'm aware of the confirmation bias, and I'm sure this is not the case. These chairs feel comfortable **for my body shape and size**. I've literally fallen asleep multiple times on the Launge and Rodhe chairs not even noticing the Chair, i.e., I didn't notice any "feedback" or hotspot from the chair.

What's the most expensive item you've bought with the intention of keeping it for life?
Treated myself to an Eames soft pad office chair. Silly expensive but I’m too old to work from an uncomfortable chair and also too old to put up with ugly home office furniture.

At this point why not just get the real deal and buy the Eames?

Office chair with “natural” upholstery / no fake leather or polyester?
Yeah. I am currently sitting on an Eames aluminum group chair (executive model with armrests). Real leather and aluminum. I don’t think there’s a single piece of plastic except the wheels. Can easily find one for under 1k.

Mesh office chair vs. cushion chair? anyone tested them both?
Here’s what you want. I’m 52 and 6’2” tall. It’s the most comfortable office chair I’ve ever sat in my entire life. I’m able to sit in it for hours with absolutely no issues. It’s truly a buy it for life product and it’s something that you would leave for your kids. https://www.dwr.com/office-chairs/eames-executive-chair/555982.html?lang=en_US
