Confession: Since the start of the pandemic, I've sat through four different chairs in my home office. While each iteration promised a remote worker's dream of "ergonomic comfort" and "excellent lumbar support," none of them werejust rightfor my Goldilocks of a spine.

Assembling was a matter of twirling the five casters into the wheelbase, screwing the seat base and backrest together, snapping on the magnetic arm pads and headrest, and voil
