Right before Corona hit, I bought a Herman Miller Aeron for my home office. For the couple of days a week I worked from home it was great. Once I started using it everyday, it aggravated my sciatica. No matter how I adjusted it, I could not get it right.

Here in Austin we have a store called Texas Office Product Supplies. They sell used office furniture. The prices are pretty good for commercial grade equipment. I took the afternoon off and went and tried all of their chairs to find one that didn't hurt my back. I ended up buying a Sitonit Wit chair. It wasn't too expensive, think I paid about $200 for it.

The other thing I did is buy an adjustable desk. I ended up buying that at IKEA. I am 6'4" and most desks are too short for me. With the adjustable desk, I am able to set it the correct height.
