On: Ask HN: Best office chair for home office work?

[garrybelka]

For a while I preferred Herman Millers. But after spending a year with Steelcase chairs I discovered that Leap is the most comfortable and least fatigue inducing chair for me. I even liked that its seat holds its angle - unlike swivelling seats of HM chairs. Fortunately, Madison Seating sells used Leaps for less than $300 in perfect condition so I got one for home too instead of a previous favourite from Herman Miller.

One caveat with Madison Seating (and similar shops) is that they refurbish the chairs and they typically do not use OE parts.

Interesting. Who designs and makes non-OE parts for Steelcase chairs? It doesn't seem that the market is that big...

What is the practical significance of that fact? Will the chair fail earlier?
