Ask HN: Do you like your desk chair?

5 pointslukemichals6y ago7 comments

I'm in the market for a good home desk chair.

In order of priority, my concerns are: Comfort, Build Quality, Price, Style.

Do you like your chair or do you have any insight into the product category?

Probably not what you're looking for but I've been using a yoga ball for the past several months.

Main reason being that I didn't want to spend thousands on a proper chair AND a standing desk and I had started to develop sciatica from my previous chair + desk combo.

For what it's worth, it's definitely helped my sciatica issues, but I am still struggling to maintain a correct posture for my back and I have to take breaks from it.

I thought along the same lines. For my height-adjustable desk, I got a matching height-adjustable stool[0]. It's pretty much what I expected. I'm not at the point where I can stand all day so it comes in handy. It's not very comfortable to sit on at low-height so I keep a small chair near by for those times.

I've never heard of autonomous. What are your impressions of the build quality?

I hadn't considered it but I think I'll give it a try. Very low cost to try it out and if I don't like it I could repurpose it for exercise.

Thanks!
