Chair Consideration 2021

• Choose Option 1.

• Budget

  • It’s barely possible to find a used one for 20,000 to 30,000 yen.
    • But why did I think that?
      • It’s not like I have a monthly spending limit.
      • It’s just that my savings will be depleted.
    • I could technically buy a 100,000 yen chair, but I believe I can’t spend that much.
      • Well, I don’t really want to spend that much on a chair anyway, so it’s fine.

• Promising options

  • Okamura Baron

• Where to buy

  • Mercari?
  • There’s something called Office Busters.

• Options

  • I want armrests.
  • High back.
  • I don’t think I need a headrest.

• I want to choose two or three chairs I like from Mercari/Office Busters and buy them if they are below a certain price.

  • Okamura Baron, 3

• Thoughts from sitting on various chairs at IDC Otsuka Furniture

  • Okamura chairs seem to be a good fit.
    • I couldn’t tell with the weird-backed Baron chair.
    • However, Contessa and Silphy were good, so I assume Baron would be good too.
  • I tried sitting on an Aeron chair, but it didn’t impress me much.
    • I guess I have to adjust it to fit me.
  • With my height, most headrests don’t align properly.
    • If I buy one, it must be adjustable.

---

• As of June 2021, I’m using a balans.
  • I like it quite a bit, but not having a backrest is tough.
  • How is it actually? (tkgshn)
    • I’m using an Aeron chair, so I want to know how well it compares to that.
      • I’ve never used an Aeron chair or any similar chair, so I can’t say anything… (blu3mo)
      • Well, I think the Aeron chair is definitely more comfortable.
• Option 1
  • Buy a typical office/gaming chair.
  • This seems like the better choice.
• Option 2
  • Buy a balans chair with a backrest.

    • Varier Thats it, ideal.
    • Wait, it’s so expensive.
      • 160,000 yen for a chair is impossible.
