Despite the fact I’ve been out of school for nearly a decade and have no children, I find myself every September filled with enigmatic “back-to-school” energy. This year, this took the form of a full home-office makeover.
It started innocently enough when I was searching for a new office chair. My old chair had served me past its prime and was suffering from tears in the fabric (shout out to my cats), and the seat sat at a 45°, which is not ideal for, ya know… a chair. It was all so innocent – I needed a new chair, and it needed to be both aesthetically pleasing and ergonomic. Enter this chair from Branch (not sponsored btw). It comes with eight adjustment points, firm lumbar support, and breathable mesh that is available in a variety of fun colors. I splurged just a little extra to get the ergonomic headrest, and when it arrived, assembly was a breeze! I watched the example video, then followed the instructions, and had it all ready for work in under 15 minutes. But this chair? It was just the beginning. 💁🏽♀️
