Does anyone have an idea on the make and model of this office chair?

Hey guys, I'm looking for a good ergonomic chair since I work from home and spend around 8–10 hours a day at my desk. My budget is around 100k, but I can stretch it a bit if it's worth it. Mainly looking for something comfortable with good back support and long-term durability. I've been considering the Rae Ergo Flex 4D Plus, but not sure if it's the best option for the price. Has anyone used it, or are there any better options available in Sri Lanka? Would appreciate some honest recommendations from people who've used their chairs for a while. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I made a post recently asking for recommendations for an ergonomic chair in Europe. I was originally leaning towards the Desktronic SitePro, but I noticed the current Autumn sale on the Steelcase EU store, so I'm now considering the Steelcase Series 1 and Series 2 instead.

A bit about me:

• Height: 182–183 cm (around 6'0")
• Weight: 79 kg (174 lbs)
• Mainly used for gaming and general computer use, often for long sessions.
• I mostly sit upright, sometimes lean forward, and occasionally recline.
• I'm used to having a headrest on my current gaming chair, but I'm not sure how much I'd actually miss it. A headrest isn't a requirement.
• I live in Denmark, and unfortunately, I don't have an opportunity to try these chairs in person.

With the current sale, the prices I'm seeing are:

• Steelcase Series 1: €532.18
• Steelcase Series 2: €655.18

That's a €123 difference, which seems reasonable if the Series 2 offers meaningful improvements in comfort and adjustability.

I'm looking for something that offers good value for money within my budget. I'm not necessarily looking for the most expensive model; I just want a good chair for the price.

My main questions are:

1. For someone my height and weight, is the Series 2 noticeably better than the Series 1 for long gaming sessions?
2. Is the wider/taller backrest and different back support on the Series 2 worth the extra €123?
3. How comfortable are they when reclining? I don't recline constantly, but I'd like it to feel comfortable when I do.

Thanks for any advice!

I was planning to buy it since I am having a lot of lower back pain and need to sit for 7-8hrs a day

I can't decide between the two.

I think that Ikea BÄSTBOLL has better lumber support is more comfortable. But I like that the Jysk VARPELEV comes in a grey color.

Does anyone have any suggestions for making this cushion more comfortable without messing up how the back lines up? The simpler, the better.

Can anyone tell me where this piece broke off? I can’t find an obvious mate to it. I’m 90% certain it’s for lumbar control.

Looking for a new chair, and it's a bit hard to find used chairs from good brands other than Herman Milller.

I would like to try more Steelcase chairs, particularly a good Gesture with a lumbar. I tried the Gesture once, but the one I tried was lackluster, and I would like to try one again.

What I have truly never seen was Haworth Fern.

I am in Southern California (OC/LA area)--any tips?

Hi All,
Please suggest me an ergonomic chair for around 10-15k ₹. I’m 6’4” with 90kgs of weight. I won’t be using it for work that much as I have 5 days wfo.

Can't find much info to B100 model. Currently it is available for €139.

Please advise.

So background info, I'm an artist and architect (student atm) and it's what i do both for work (digital drawing for commissions from time to time), for school and for fun (I draft things by hand a lot, and also have to make a lot of models, etc etc) and I have two desks in my small room because of it (one is for general computer things and the other is for all my arts and crafts stuff), I also have to lean in A LOT, while I've made a pretty big effort to fix my posture from years of this stuff and bad gaming/watching/lounging posture, I still need to do better.

Some other things to note:

- I'm 5'7

- I'm on the lighter side so it doesn't matter too much

- I also fidget A LOT, constantly changing positions (limited by the current chair)

- the two desks are arranged in an L~ish shape because the room doesn't have too much space to work with and I still need space for when friends come over

-Money isn't too much an issue, as since this is something for my longterm health im willing to spend for it, but I don't want to spend an absurd amount of money either

My current chair is this few years old corsair gaming one that while good, it doesn't really fill my needs well: The back support is decent but because of how I lean in while working a lot, it basically doesn't matter, the cushion is comfy but gets quite hot, it also hurts when I put my elbow on the arm rest for even just a couple minutes which I do often enough that my elbow hurts sometimes after long sitting days

Any input anyone can give is welcome, also would love hear more personal experience stories from people

I’m about 5'11" and 243 lbs. I’ve tried the Leap V2, and its seat feels a little compact. It’s not too small for me, but there isn’t much room to spare, and I don’t feel completely free to move around. I have fairly thick thighs.

The Embody’s seat width feels right for me, but its backrest really doesn’t suit my back. The Leap Plus looks noticeably wider than the Embody—could it be too wide for me? How does its seat depth compare with the regular Leap V2? Are there any other differences in the seat cushion besides its size?

The regular Leap V2’s backrest fits me really well, so I’m also wondering how the Plus would feel. Does the larger backrest fit differently?

There’s nowhere near me where I can try a Leap Plus. I’d really appreciate any advice on which one to choose, especially from people who have tried both or have a similar build. Thanks, everyone!

I recently acquired two chairs like the one in the picture. After doing some research, I believe they are the Kiss Me Goodbye chairs designed by Tokujin Yoshioka for Driade.
I’m trying to learn more about them, as I understand they are designer pieces. Are they well-known among design enthusiasts and collectors? Does anyone know anything about their history, current market value, or resale prices?
I’d really appreciate any information or insights you can share. Thanks!

This isn’t an office chair but from the same manufacturer as a lot of these posted here. I can’t seem to find the right sub to post in.

We bought this chair a few weeks ago on Facebook marketplace and can’t seem to get the back to stay down when sitting in it. We can recline it but the back keeps creeping up into the sitting position. I’ve looked all over Google but can’t find anything about this specific chair. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.

I will attach a few pics. The chair seems to be almost brand new. The seller said they never used it.

Picked up a 1991 pollock chair from a resale shop nearby, and absolutely love it other than I have not been able to figure out how to adjust it higher. I fear I may have a broken twist-o-matic system, but I also don’t have the nut at the bottom that seems to be indicative of that mechanism. Any variation of twist-lift has been tried and failed to raise the seat.

Attaching some photos here of the post, any ideas to raise the chair? I unbolted the bottom underside of the post and just have a flat screw as opposed to the nut that I’m seeing on other pollock chairs. I’m thinking at this point that somebody replaced the post before me and that this isn’t even the original mechanism, since I can’t find any exact matches anywhere else on pollock chair threads.

Any help is appreciated!

I’m trying to buy an ergonomic chair, but I honestly know NOTHING about them and it’s been a tiring journey. Today I visited a store and I found this chair that felt really good especially the lumbar support. However, I felt a little uncomfortable with the headrest and the salesperson tried to help me find the “perfect” posture but I don’t know if the headrest is supposed to be in that position or not.

TL;DR: Stuck between the Herman Miller Aeron (Size C) and the Embody. Looking for advice from fellow tall/heavy sitters (6'0", 200 lbs) who deal with short seat pans and sit-bone pain. I work from home so I spend 8ish hours in this chair daily. I do have a standing desk, which I should probably use more…

My Chair History:
• Branch Verve: Looked great, but immediate sit-bone pain.
• Steelcase Karman Highback: Absolutely gorgeous, she really is that girl and the flexible back is everything, but the seat pan was too shallow (sigh).
• Fractal Refine 2 - Mesh: I really wanted to like this chair. But is it so aggressively upright that it felt like I was almost being pushed forward out of the seat, the recline even with the least amount of tension was a bit stiff to push back and felt like my abs were engaged anytime I was using it. Also the recline lock was nice with so many intervals - but I couldn’t rock with the recline locked. Honestly I should write an entire post on this chair as there is barely any info on it. Oh, I also almost broke my ankle getting the 75lb box down the stairs…
• Aeron (Original Size B): Mesh is great for my sit-bones, but the rigid frame digs into my thighs.

Yes I know I am Goldilocks.

The Dilemma:
I recently tested the Aeron Remastered (Size C) and the Embody Gaming Chair.
• Embody: Super comfortable seat when fully extended, and I love the flexible back. However, I'm worried about online reports of it becoming uncomfortable after a few hours, I spent about an hour sitting on it in the store. How inflated is the worry truly?
• Aeron Size C: No thigh pain thanks to the larger seat pan, and I know the mesh works for me. But the back is very rigid compared to the Embody and unsure if the thigh pain might creep back after a few hours of sitting.

Other Factors:
• Cats: My cat hasn't been able to destroy the Aeron mesh, but I'm worried she might shred the Embody. I will keep it covered if I must, but, ugh.
• Color: Who doesn’t want a little pop of color? But the Aeron is timeless…

I was initially thinking of the Embody Gaming graphite/nightfall/nova but the newly released graphite/amethyst is speaking to me vs Aeron Remastered Gaming

What do you all think? I know how subjective it is, and the Aeron vs Embody debate is long and storied (and boring?). Maybe I am just venting, because few people (other than those on this sub) truly understand how deep and detailed we can get on the discussion of office chairs… As I told Alicia, the lovely SA at the Herman Miller store in Greenwich “I am deep into office chair discourse, it’s a problem.”
