Is this better than a Herman Miller Chair or any different? I like the price tag!

I received one as a gift and it did really well in my north east corner windows in my San Francisco office. So I kept buying orchids from the florist down the street (not the cheapest place to buy orchids) and I eventually had quite a tropical jungle going. The office was big and oddly shaped and nothing else would work in that corner other than the bookshelf the orchids sat upon. They bloomed and rebloomed for years. It amazed me.

Then I changed offices, moved the orchids, and they never bloomed again. 😢

They’re the same ones we have at work, and I got one for WFH during the pandemic after herniating my spine (per my PT likely due to using a poor desk chair). It has made all the difference. I can sit in it for hours and hours without any discomfort.

At work, we don’t have assigned offices. When I work in a very open plan office, my Bose noise cancelling headphones are super helpful.

Alas it was all given away when I retired but I enjoyed the heck out of it while I was working.

I do like to buy myself good pens, pretty desk accessories, etc. I have a really pretty stapler that I hardly ever use but it looks nice, lol.

Back in the office, my employer provides everything. Technology (multi-monitor setup), artwork, plants, furniture (including another ergonomic, custom-fitted chair), desk supplies, all of it. We can accessorize and personalize, but for me that mostly involves displaying whatever kitschy items were handed out at recent conferences alongside thank you notes and birthday cards.
