What’s your top BIFL purchase, that might not in itself has been all to frugal, but long term, will be?

After having 5-6 different office chairs over the last 10 years, none of which I liked. I went and bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It’s ridiculously expensive, but I’m so pleased with it and hope to keep it for well over 15-20 years. If that actually succeed, I will have spent less money one chairs than if I hadn’t bought it.

What similar items (cheap or expensive) do you feel the same about?

That’s the one negative, there is no headrest. Not even to purchase. Though there is a company that specializes on headrests for their chairs, that are made with great quality and looks as official as it gets. I’m about to purchase one of those, which sucks considering what I paid.

I’m fairly tall 187 cm / 6”2. And have zero struggles with the size of the chair. I’m on the medium size, so there’s a larger one available. Depending on your size, I’d imagine that one would work for you.

It’s 100% the best chair I’ve ever sat in. Took 3 weeks to break in, had some crazy pain in my lower back. Realized afterwards that what had happen, was my posture was being corrected. I sit with much better posture on regular chairs now as well, it basically forced me into learning how to sit properly. I never ache, never feel like I have to stand or move. It’s just awesome.
