Ask HN: Best desk and chair for the home office?
I'm starting a remote job on Oct 5th and I need to build out my home office. Any recommendations for a chair and a desk?
Longer answer:
Chairs: Gaming chairs (Noble chairs look nice), Steelcase (Leap), Humanscale, Herman Miller (Aeron), etc or just about any Ego chair from Staples/Office Depot would probably be okay.
Desk: Standing Height or adjustable (Ikea, Geekdesk). Legare (Funky toolless/knockdown) and Levenger are options as well.
For one stop shopping take a look at Branch Furniture. https://www.branchfurniture.ca/collections/work-from-home (They probably have a US site as well)
Notes: You should be getting and moving around during the day anyways. I pace a lot while thinking so I am up and down all day. But I have a good/expensive egonomic chair anyways. My desk is 64"x27" table I made for myself. My wife has the ergo chair from Branch Furnture and it's okay but not great.

to replace a broken down piece of crap, and so far it's been a huge improvement. But they have 1400 chairs to choose from.
