I live in the Chicago area. There are quite a few, local “used” office equipment/furniture companies. Many have “showroom” style areas, but if you have something more specific in mind, they can walk you through their overstock area. Office equipment comes from liquidation due to office closure & Office equipment dealers offer “trade-in” credit. That excess stock moves to the secondary market, “used office furniture”. I have walked a “used office furniture” warehouse. There is nice furniture available. Be it from an executive office, a conference room, visitor’s office or just plain old, good condition, used furniture. I suggest measuring the “available chair/desk footprint” at home (since being in a larger showroom space might skew the perceived furniture size) then finding a local company with “used office furniture”. Get out there to try a few chairs. Be prepared to bargain and make an offer! I expect WFH office has softened the market. I think you can find a “gently used” chair, that meets your need for comfort, is of better quality and not necessarily much more expensive than an Ikea chair. I like Ikea and live close to one. Given a choice of chairs, I personally would hit the secondary market. Hope that helps! More on reddit.com

if it had arms and an ottoman, it'd be an ok lounging chair but it seems awful in it's current state unless you're a kid or very tiny person. More on reddit.com

Great question! I was thinking about doing the same thing after a move to a bigger space. The Strandmon was the one I was debating on. I think everyone here has sold me on it. No offense to the Poang lovers, had one years ago and my head hits the curve at the top giving me a neck ache. More on reddit.com

I've had Strandmon armchair for years and it's been very comfortable for longer sitting - I'm a medium-height woman. My father and brother also like it, though it's too big for my mother who is shorter. More on reddit.com
