Ask HN: Best WFH Purchases?

By "real" I mean a chair actually designed for 7-hours a day 5-days a week usage and warrantied as such. Ergonomics and build quality is key. Expect to pay around $1K.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm trying to find a aftermarket one in the DC area, its been a loooong wait, a lot of garbage floating out there.

You pay a lot less if you get one refurbished.

True, but also note that it won't be warrantied the same way. That's just an inherent trade-off, Steelcase has a limited lifetime warranty which I've already used to replace the lift after 10-years.

Picked up a Mirra 1 at auction for $150 this year. Pretty happy with it.

One thing I haven't seen mentioned: I have a two laptop stands, and a KVM switch to flip my screen, keyboard, mouse and a decent powered USB hub between my work laptop and personal laptop. Pretty handy.

Also an aquarium. Nice to have a bit of life and movement in the room. Hard plastic carpet protector. Office chairs can be murder on carpet.
