“Let me lower myself to your level” next time I’ll say this in the 1-1 with my manager

[chrismorse]

I like how, as a millionaire, he is willing to come down to our level.

[TheMaxthesis]

This guy was fired from google and Facebook for constantly complaining about chairs.

[MissKalunji]

I've watched a lot of reviews for the past few days and i must say yours is one of the BEST i've watched. I usually get bored half way through but your pace of speaking, clear and you kept the most important information going not rambling. Thank you so MUCH.

i've had my costco chair for 5 years and still works great! better comfort and airflow than any leather gaming chair out there 100% worth the purchase 😳

I can't pay attention to a single thing you say until you mention you're a millionaire

[jamesbethell]

Instructions unclear, I told my wife she was like a chair and now I'm in trouble.

I want to be able to say this someday

[GrumpyMcFrog]

Only a true programmer would consider a chair as his "side piece." LOL.

15:08 I think we finally know why TechLeads wife divorced him

[mitchelljao]

"Let me come down to your level again" fucking gold

[jgxukki]

Finally, someone cares if a chair is comfy when sitting crosslegged. No wonder why you are the TechLead.

[beanut.putter]

This video has inspired me to tell my wife she's not the chair for me anymore.

As a Staples employee I'm genuinely surprised by the fact that the Hyken was your pick. Honestly, I may have to pick one up myself now

[ryand]

I especially liked that you thought about the fact that people don't always sit correctly!

I've been toying with getting an areon but I very often sit improperly and thus made me reconsider.

It's a shame that staples are an online only store in the UK now a days, I'd certainly like to try their chairs out!

[isaiahrichardson]

No, we knew you wouldn’t forget the “millionaire”

[tarunbeersingh]

The real question: Which coffee is best for Programmers?

[skeptale]

So glad you mentioned sitting crosslegged! I spend a good 75% of my work time sitting crosslegged, and it's hard to find a chair that's comfortable to sit in that way, but everyone I mention that issue to just says "well just stop sitting that way". Definitely getting the Hyken after seeing this review.

[zhiminjiang]

I bought 2 Staples Hyken chairs 6 years ago when it was on sale for $99 each. One for me and one for my son. We both love it. They still look brand new after 6 years of daily use. It is a rare exception of "you get what you pay for".

[NoPlayJack]

The aeron has a 12 year no questions asked warranty. I bought a 5 year old one and have had techs come to my house multiple times to replace various parts completely free of charge.
