Office Chairs

Let’s talk office chairs.

Right now I’m sitting on an antique wooden chair. Granted, it has seat pillow and  back pillow, but let’s be honest, 9-12 hours in a chair is not great. So I’m thinking it’s time for an upgrade, to a squishy, not the cutest desk chair. To me, some of them look like space ships! Although the white chairs seem more feminine, I worry about it being white. All I can think of is wearing blue jeans, and the seat will turn blue. Those of you who have a white chair, is this an issue??

What kind of chair do you sit on?

    Oooh, I would definitely pick the first one! I know the feeling though. I used to sit in a wooden chair and it would eat away at my back. Awful!

    At work I sit on this chair: http://www.cb2.com/studio-office-chair/s561185

    It has bungee cords type bottom and back and is surprisingly super comfortable!

    I had the best desk and chair before we moved overseas and since we have been here I just take my laptop anywhere and I have had the worse back issues. Investing in a comfy chair is a must for a designer and I so need to do so asap.

    I have a white desk chair and the search is on for a new one
    (in a different color)as we speak. I loved the feminine look at first but due to dark blue jeans my previously white chair now has a blueish-grey seat. Jeans are definitely a problem with white chairs!

    @Jessie Nethercott Ah that’s what I figured. I think I’m going to have to pick black. Or maybe through a blanket on the seat first?? :)

    @Jen JEN! That’s crazy! I wouldn’t have guessed it to be comfortable! Looks sweet.

    I got really lucky! My neighbors decided to move out one day, and they left a really nice office chair behind just laying in their driveway. I didn’t want to take it, but after a week passed I figured they didn’t want it, so I took it in and cleaned it up! :)

    It’s genuine leather, in perfect shape, and it looks very similar to chair #2 except it’s black. Perfect addition to my office, I also got my desk that way also! I have awesome ex-neighbors!! :D
