Have you heard of our lord and saviour, Herman Miller

That is almost certainly Staples Hyken. Comfortable chair but cheaply made, mine started disintigrating in a couple of years.

[–] ralakus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're correct, it's a Staples Hyken that I got on sale for $130 since I was a former chairless broke boi. I hope to get a couple of years out of mine so I could find a second hand Aeron or somehow get enough money to get one new

[–] observantTrapezium@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

I'm sitting on an Aeron at work, it's good, but I can't in good conscience pay that much for a chair. I was recently on the market for a new office chair and extensively researched it. It really looks like it's a hit or miss with every chair in every price range, and I was very seriously considering replacing my Hyken with another Hyken. I decided to go with the IKEA Markus and have been sitting on it for about a month. I'm only moderately happy with it, may even return it before the year is up although I'd hate doing it.

Could I instead interest you in an embody? I find it's a much better model.

[–] ralakus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Unfortunately this is the Herman Miller we have at home, the Staples Hyken. Just moved and I couldn't afford to have my ass and back blessed by Herman Miller. Though one day my tithe may be grand enough to receive Herman Miller's blessing

Lol I have this chair and remember thinking this was funny at the time

I need that language in my life.

Cookie recipe: Behold, beautiful chocolate chip cookies ready for consumption!

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

Alas, they have all been consumed in a fit of gluttony. The hour of regret is at hand!

Man, I don't even watch it that much, but I heard it as soon as I read it.

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Now ponder it.

[–] Sparky@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What the heck!? This is the exact chair i have....

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What the heck, I came here to post the same comment, verbatim.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What the heck, me too! What color did you get? Does the texture bother your legs when wearing shorts?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Black and yes, very much so

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where'd you get yours? I've had mine for probably 10 years at this point.

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Got mine on clearance at office depot

[–] Kit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 months ago

Haha me too. $99 for the best chair I've ever sat in!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Amy I inquire as to what chair this is?

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well it is currently 53% off. But that doesn't matter since I am not from the US

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago

I bought mine in the winter. Boy was I surprised. "Cheese grater chair", as my coworker calls em, is not a misnomer. Still though, is buy it again

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

I got tired of my kid saying "look", so I tried to teach them to say behold instead.

They still say look. I should have gotten a dog.

[–] Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 2 months ago

The person who wrote this must have had a good day <3

[–] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 7 points 2 months ago

I had one of those. Pretty decent chair.

[–] Fontasia@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

4/10 people surveyed said they were beholding the chair but they were mearly just staring at it

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I need to get a chair like that the moment my "boss chair" breaks. Fake leather and no adjustability kills me, it's literally designed for someone who doesn't want to work at a desk, except my mom's boyfriend went soyface at it...
