Howdy fellow cheapies!
My trusty office chair has broken!
Ive seen a lot of herman miller talk online but they're very expensive, even used. I stand for about half of the day because I've bought a desk bird standing desk and see they have some chairs for sale.
Does anyone have experience with desk bird chairs?
What chairs would we recommend ?
I'd like to avoid the gaming aesthetic as much as possible!
I got a refurbished Buro Metro and no complaints here. I WFH a couple days a week usually.
I see quite a lot second hand <$200
I have both the Spectrum and the Formway Life.
They’re both good chairs, but I prefer the extra padding on the Spectrum.
I’d recommend trying the Spectrum at Warehouse Stationery to see if you like it, then keeping an eye out on Marketplace.
Try to visit NXP website. A good range of chairs wanted. Probably, you'll be able to find smth suitable for the purpose (depending on your budget, certainly):
I picked up one of these for $550 second hand a while ago in perfect condition, and then another around $600 for a mate. If you're not in a rush and can wait till one is listed on marketplace or trademe, I'd highly recommend - pbtech.co.nz/product/CHRSIH0006W
I can recommend Flexispot, some of which look identical to Deskbirds. If I could justify the extra cost I'd get a Fractal Design chair because I think they look better and have seen good reviews, however I try not to sit too much, so went cheaper instead. Hey, that's why we're here.
