Best office chairs to look for second-hand, what models should I learn to identify?
Hi there!
I’ve always used whatever cheap office chair I could get from IKEA, but now that I’m in my 30s, I’m starting to feel back pain when sitting for too long. I’d like to find a good quality chair on a budget, so I’m planning to buy second-hand.
Ideally, I’m hoping to find deals from people selling office chairs without realizing their actual value, like the posts I’ve seen here where people score Herman Miller chairs for under $100.
My question is: what are the main chair models I should learn to recognize in online listings? So far, the only one I’ve consistently seen mentioned is the Herman Miller Aeron, but I imagine there must be a “top 5” or so of commonly recommended models worth looking out for.
If it helps, I live in Norway, and I’m about 175 cm tall and weigh 100 kg.
Thanks! 🙂
