Best Style of Reading Chair Anonymous 2016-05-09 14:48:59 Post No. 8016635 [Report]

I'm in the market for a reading chair and while normally frugal I'm willing to shell out for this, probably up to the $500-$1000 range. So what have you found is the most comfortable type of chair to read in for long hours?

My friend recommended the Aeron chair which is an office chair classic (pic related) but I'm not really looking for an office chair. More a comfy armchair or reclining chair that is perfect for reading. I mostly care about comfort but elegance would be nice also.

I guess this can be a reading space general as well, some of you have posted cozy spaces in the past. I'm finally at a point in my life where I can really focus on reading, I think I just passed my last actuarial exam.

I'd recommend just going to a nicer, upscale secondhand furniture store or imports store and sitting on all the armchairs you think would look good in your space and picking the comfiest one. Buying furniture online usually isn't as good as doing so in person, in my experience.

One of the greatest design classics off all time...

The Aeron sucks for actually sitting on, it's also a plastic dotcom bubble meme chair.

Nice, I dig the Eames. Interestingly I'm seeing a wide price range, from like 500-5000 bucks. What's the deal?

Vitra and Herman Miller make the original to a ridiculous quality standard.
They have the rights
They make chairs that will outlast your children.

All others are replica's from subpar quality for people who will try to pass it off as the real thing.

Look at auctions, thrift shops or companies throwing them out.

THEY ARE THE MOST COMFORTABLE WELL-ENGINEERED HEIRLOOMS
