Reddit mentions

  • “Steelcase definitely looks solid. From my list HON Ignition 2.0 seemed like the next best option under $300, but I get your point on mixing in some standing time too.”
  • “Look for a used Steelcase Leap or Haworth Zody. They go around $200ish and built to last. New, the HON Ignition 2.0 is solid under $300. Way better than gaming chairs.”
  • “I switched from a dining chair to the HON Ignition 2.0 a while back and it was a big difference for my back and shoulders.”
