PSA: Secretlab chairs are overpriced bullshit
Doesn't surprise me. Whenever I see a ton of marketing on social media I automatically assume that's money that isn't being spent on the product itself. Secretlab spends more on influencer deals than actual R&D. Check out Autonomous chairs got their ErgoChair Pro for around $400 and it's been solid https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FL2F3W34 No flashy marketing bullshit, just decent ergonomics that actually work. The lumbar support is adjustable and doesn't feel like a cheap pillow strapped to the back

What's are home office purchases you've made that have more than paid for themselves?
After going through gaming chais that wrecked my back I ended up grabbing [Ergochair Pro](https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/ergonomic-chair) during a sale and way better than expected. it’s not HM levels of polish or anything, but for daily WFH use (i’m in it 8-10 hrs/day), it’s been solid. also considered used chairs from steelcase or HM on craigslist or local sellers, but i didn’t want to gamble on condition or deal with pickup if you're sitting all day, spending a bit upfront can save you a lot of pain later.

Requested to Provide Fake Engagement for Autonomous Chairs
I was asked to do similar and since then someone has linked me to this thread. So, figured I'd share my $0.02 here. A number of years back (2018) I purchased an Autonomous Smart Desk 2 and did/do genuinely like it and shared my thoughts over the years. I continue to use the desk and highly recommend it. A number of weeks back u/AutonomousDavid had reached out to me if I'd be willing to help by participating in a number of their threads with the first set being about their smart desk 5, which I mostly just commented about my good experience with the Smart Desk 2 but thought the price point for their 5 was good. (https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/comments/1jvz32z/comment/mmea9at/?context=3&utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button) After that David thanked me and asked if I would like to try out one of their new chairs and having recently broke one of my guest chairs I said yeah. A few days later the chair showed up. A week or two after that David asked if I would be willing to participate in another batch of threads. I said that I could but he might not like it as I wouldn't be able to give it high praises, he told me that was okay and that "You can share what you like and don't like about the chair." Since I wasn't being asked to say anything in particular, I shared my honest thoughts as requested. Mostly recommending the Aeron (https://www.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1k60sdz/anyone\_with\_adhd\_here\_actually\_focus\_better\_using/) After posting that a number of users had questions about the longer sessions and I then decided to swap out my main chair to test it out. And I pretty much stand by my initial impressions shared in the initial batch of Autonomous threads but gave more context to how it compared to my daily chair (https://www.reddit.com/r/AutonomousLounge/comments/1ki2d1n/herman\_miller\_aeron\_vs\_autonomous\_ergochair\_pro/) So, I'm sure this will likely get down voted and people calling me a shill or whatever, reddit be reddit. But don't feel like my integrity has been sold or whatever, I was allowed to say whatever I wanted to say and I stand by what I said. If you can get an Aeron, absolutely do it. If you can't the Autonomous one is pretty decent. It has great freaking armrests, lol

stepdad’s son wrecked my setup. need BIFL replacement under $1k
refurbished HM or Steelcase would be good if you can test in the showroom. my wife got [this chair](https://www.autonomous.ai/office-chairs/autonomous-chair-ultra-v2) (looks like Embody) during blackfriday for $400 and I think it's good enough for the price. highly rcm

Looking for a mesh office chair to help with back pain
I’ve been using the Autonomous ErgoChair Pro for 2 years. I got it during a BF sale, and I still love it. The mesh backrest is breathable, and the adjustable lumbar support helps with my lower back. The only downside is that the recline tension uses a hand crank instead of a knob, which I’d prefer, but it’s not a big deal.
