An ergonomic office chair from Branch Furniture positioned as a mid-priced alternative to premium brands like Herman Miller and Steelcase.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

A redditor who upgraded from a used Herman Miller Sayl reports 6 months of comfortable daily use during 8-11 hour workdays, finding it more comfortable than an earlier Branch model (which had an uncomfortable lumbar and was returned) and good value for the price; also credits Branch's customer service for honoring a return and upgrade.

    Had the pro for about 6 months now and it's very comfortable compared to the original chair, the Ikea Markus, and HM Sayl... The price is also good imo.
