Working from home was a difficult transition for me, but adding plants (and having good light) make all the difference. I thought you folks would approve.

How’s the chair?
I quite like the chair. Once I started working from home it took some time for me to break a few cheap chairs before I finally decided to up my spending and get one that will hopefully last.
Yeah I’m at that point. Got my first chair and wasn’t disappointed with it but after a few months it really starts to wear down your back. So figured I should get something decent instead of getting a cheap replacement again and again.
Thanks for sharing the link.
What brand of chair is it? Looka like a Hermon Miller?
It’s this one: https://www.officedepot.com/a/products/9919467/HON-Sadie-Ergonomic-FabricBonded-Leather-High/
I have that same chair. It infuriates me. Lots of support, thick padding, sturdy. Huge amounts of adjustment. So close to great. But the damn thing just won’t go low enough so it’s always pressing on the back of my thighs unless literally tilted forward. And the lumbar support is just a bit too much and starts to fatigue after me after a while regardless of the height you set it at. Mind you I’m 6”, 230lb. I think it’s specifically a “Big and Tall” chair, but it’s not described that way. I’ve had worse though.
