Some of these chairs are amazing - I do feel guilt at spending so much money on a chair but I guess itā€™s where I spend a huge bunch of my time :thinking:

My bank balance shall not be pleasedā€¦

Iā€™m not going to lie, I originally bought the secret labs one as it was batman! It goes nicely with my batwing lamp, and comics on the bookcase next to the desk

It does look very nice! Just waiting for mine to come now!

Thatā€™s what I said to convince myself to get a secretlab chair. Comfort and good posture/ergonomics are really important for people who work at a desk.

Failing that you can get your workplace to commission a bunch of bespoke ones :upside_down_face:

I have a Herman Miller Verus Triflex. Got it new (work put some money towards it), got to pick custom colours, and with all available adjustability. Would highly recommend. I think itā€™s the cheapest HM and imo itā€™s still wonderful. Itā€™s made a big difference, and I find it helps me feel better physically even if I donā€™t sit in it properly. My husband bought the same one after seeing and trying mine. It also had a great Which write up.

Nice WoW collectors editions, wish Iā€™d kept mine. :upside_down_face:

I did only have WoW, BC, WotLK and Cataclysm though.

Thanks to this thread my Flex card just got a little less flexible tooā€¦ :joy: ā€“ looking forward to trying out one of these SecretLab chairs youā€™re all raving aboutā€¦

I had an Ergohuman mesh chair which I got at the start of the pandemic, but itā€™s frankly rubbish and definitely not worth the price they are selling them at - the mesh has started to go, the wheels are starting to disintegrate, the armrests are peeling off and the gas has gone in the lift.

These are the ones we have in the office, and I found so comfortable, I bought one for home as well. Seems like a lot for a chair, but will last at least 10 years, so over that time itā€™s not too bad on an annual basis (and probably better for your back)

So I think it might be time for a new desk chair, those who ordered a Secret Labs, do you recommend it??

Yes.

Consider investing in a Herman Miller Aaron chair for comfort and reliability. I bought one second-hand from the now-defunct 2ndhnd.com website for Ā£400. Although my wife still thinks it was a ridiculous expense, Iā€™ve used it for eight years without any issues. Meanwhile, she ends up buying a cheap Amazon or Ikea chair almost every yearā€¦

Is there anywhere your recommend getting one from? Or am I limited to eBay?

I purchased my refurbed Aeron (latest version) from Zero Office Furniture.

A little more expensive than eBay at Ā£599 but it literally looks brand new. They replace any worn parts with genuine Herman Miller as well.

I would advise you order the right size though. They come in size A, B or C. Iā€™m 6ft and quite well built and the C is just the right size for me.

If you want to try one in person, John Lewis is your best bet. They have a size B usually.

Cheap chairs are a false economy. Iā€™ve lost count of how many Iā€™ve replaced over the years.
