Best mid-priced drafting chair for standing desk?
March 9, 2020 1:11 PM Subscribe
I’ve seen a few previous questions but they didn’t share all my criteria. I don’t need off-brand $200 chairs from Amazon, but $1000 is too spendy. What chair would you recommend for a standing desk—for about $500? (My needs include a chair with a back and armrests, not a stool. I like mesh.)
Madison Seating has several Herman Miller and Steelcase chairs on sale right now, with a 30-day return policy. ("Open box;" MS is not an authorized dealer for either brand.)

Try lab chairs from industrial suppliers. I got - no-name lab chair that looks like an office chair but goes up to 1.4m and is super comfortable for working at a high table where I sometimes stand. It’s sturdy and easy to clean as well.

You can get used Aeron drafting chairs for about that. I ordered one on eBay and am very happy with it.

Caveat Emptor: I would definitely research Madison Seating more before buying from them, and decide if their reputation regarding refurbishment and customer service matches up with your tolerance for risk.
