My chair broke. I looked up how much good chairs cost and ... omg I am in the wrong business! I see $1-2k chairs and people buy them. Makes sense, it's what you spend a lot of time on if you sit at your desk.

maybe it's time to stand again...

damn. used to have a hydraulic desk. maybe that would help?

I have an adjustable desk. Standing atm

Opportunities appear in the most u likely of places

The question is: is that a problem you actually want to spend time solving?

The answer is no but this is a golden opportunity. Design once, manufacture unlimited times.

I just don’t want to deal with the reality of physical things

Physical is hard. Totally agree

I don't know the prices in your country. But in Europe you can find good ergonomic chairs for under €600

Hmm. Link?

Ain’t gonna be a Herman Miller

Only see one chair with neck support and it had flimsy arm rests :(

I quite enjoy my stand/sit desk.

I’m there with you

I've got a Steelcase Leap that was very pricey but damn it's so comfortable and worth every penny.

I had some bad office chairs that fucked my back and tailbone. I learned the hard way you don't cheap on a chair.

Holy moly, I need to buy a nee chair soon, you’re scaring me 😬😬

Stressless office chair. $3k but worth it

I don’t have a chair

Better for your back and wallet!

What about back support?

You don’t need it 🙃 I’m always training my core with this and one of the best things I have done in my life of staying strong and fit

Time to take a stand against thise prices...

Ill see myself out

Buy a kneeling chair and your back pain will disappear. You actually need to stand and stretch your legs every couple of hours, but that’s what you should do anyway.

I don’t have back pain - well I do but it’s related to a different injury

Good office chairs are very expensive. I’m not say they’re not worth it, just wow, pricey.

Indeed. I just looked at what the nearest store had in inventory and their 2 best chairs weren’t even that good and cost about $300. I imagine any serious chair starts at $700 or more

Does not look too nice but your back will thank you later

I have been standing for this week. It's been an adjustment. A small tweak I have thought to make is to get a stool of some kind. My standing desk is a hand crack one, so it takes a few minutes to change elevation.

Gym ball costs $20 and is good for your back and core muscles. There are also fabric covered versions.

Do you use one?

Yes
