Anyone have opinions on mesh office chairs? I've been thinking of getting one for my girlfriend.
It seems to be a case of either, 'you need to spend a lot' or 'don't spend a lot, they all come out of the same factory'
Do you mean office chairs with mesh for the seat? Super comfortable, the one I have is better than any cushion seat office chair that I’ve tried.
I have no option on mesh vs upholstery, but have strong opinion that any desk chair needs to be fully adjustable in seat height, tilt, back support, arm rest height. Because everybody’s body is different and getting it set up right is what’s gonna make it comfortable for you.
Happen to have a picture of one?
I was thinking something like this. For reference, I spent a lot more on a Steelcase Leap when I had business money to play with so this is a lot cheaper by comparison:

The one I have at work just had a one piece back but in the same mesh material.
They’re super comfy for long extended periods of time. I don’t think I’ve even gotten sore from sitting on them for too long.
I had a Herman miller Aeron chair, now it's living in Perth with my dad. The only thing I need when he passes away eventually is that chair back. Best thing ever
Both unis I've been to have hundreds of these chairs, and they've been super comfortable compared to the plastic chair I have at home. But YMMV.
I feel like Marketplace could be a good way to source one.
Unis wouldn't be spending crazy money on these chairs either so that's reassuring
Change my view - why buy a luxury car? Great, your car has a nice engine, it's smooth on the roads, has cool lights. But I genuinely don't get why people buy expensive cars when that money could go towards a house deposit or a mortgage. I guess they might not have a house to pay off when they're buying one of these cars, but some are financing it. Why pay for some commodity with money you don't have unless you actually need it to live?
Maybe they like nice cars. They might like to drive and go driving for enjoyment.
Also, good cars tend to have better resale value.

Hit up a bar with some family friends that I don't know super well but had a good time. Goodnight all.
