So the idea of “buy it for life” is to buy items that are durable and last for a long time, things you could buy once and have your whole life, which can save money and be good for the environment

What are some of the top items you recommend for this?

    I worked in a building full of Herman Miller Aeron chairs, which cost more than $1000. I did not find them comfortable. The plastic frames dug into the back of my legs.

    This isn’t to say that everyone will find them uncomfortable or that they’re bad. But don’t buy a chair based on a brand. Sit in the chair.

      Yeah that’s a common complaint with the aeron. Mesh held in place by plastic simply isn’t as comfy as a cushion. It works for some.

      But yeah, definitely go to a furniture showroom and try out the different models to see what suits your body first
