Working from home is a new normal for many, but it’s a luxury that I’ve appreciated since before the pandemic. However, my cute desk chairs have not been kind to my body in the past.

After having my home office set up in the bungalow for over a year, I’ve been utilizing my electronic standup desk daily, but when sitting, my office chair became more and more uncomfortable. Sure, it was stylish with its brass legs and distressed velvet upholstery, but the pillow top cushion was flattening and the back didn’t offer the ergonomic support I desperately needed. I purchased a seat cushion that provided some relief, but it was larger than the chair’s cushion and continuously slid off. I was tired of temporary fixes and needed to invest in a real solution.

So, this summer I began researching ergonomic office and desk chairs. The best of the best cost more than my standup desk ($1,500 value, gifted from my previous employer), and so many were either out of my budget or didn’t match my aesthetic. I knew finding an ergonomic chair with brass legs would be tough, but I really wanted to find something sleek and stylish, while providing my body required when working from home each day.

Then I discovered Branch! Branch Furniture was founded in 2018 on a mission to create quality and affordable office furniture that wasn’t a hassle to obtain. Branch cuts costs and the middleman out of the process, making it easy for people and teams to build a beautiful workspace where you can feel and work your best. All their furniture is designed to be used every day, all day, are built to last, sustainable, and adaptable to evolving workspaces. After browsing through all their product descriptions and dozens of customer reviews, I decided Branch’s Verve Chair was the best fit for me.

The Verve is a high-performance work chair that stands out through its striking silhouette, playful palette, and approachable ergonomics. Besides its beautiful looks, it provides six points of adjustment for a perfect fit to your body – tilt and tilt lock, seat height and depth, armrest height, lumbar height, and tilt tension. The 3D knit back is soft-to-the-touch and breathable for cool comfort and the high-density foam cushion seat evenly distributes up to 300 pounds. The Verve chair has a low-profile, synchronous aluminum base mechanism that gives you a firm foundation when sitting and easily maneuverable on its scratch-proof casters if active in your workspace. The Verve comes in 3 color choices: Galaxy – charcoal black, Mist – a light grey, and Coral – an orangish-pink hue of perfection. Obviously, I picked the Coral!

Upon receiving the box from Branch, prepared for the worst as I usually underestimate the time it takes to assemble furniture. However, what I thought would take an hour, only took 10 minutes! The packaging was designed just as beautifully as the chair and the assembly instructions were simple, direct, and easy to understand. I also loved how easily identifiable all the contents and pieces were. After attaching the seat parts with the bolts and handy Allen key included, I added the arms and set the seat onto the base. And just like that, I was done! I sat in the chair and couldn’t believe how great it felt! I was also pleasantly surprised by its tilting ability and all the points of adjustment I could make to the chair after only being able to raise desk chairs up and down in the past. I have over a dozen chairs in my home, but the Verve is officially my favorite chair in the house! I couldn’t wait to get to work and put it to use in my home office!

So, what do you think? Did I sell you on it, or are you still skeptical? Well don’t worry! The Verve Chair has a 7-year parts and components warranty, definitely not something any of my past office chairs offered, and if you’re not pleased with it for any reason, you can receive a full refund within 30 days of your purchase. Even better, Branch provides complimentary ergonomic consults to help you make the most out of your new chair and so you can perform your best work comfortably.

I’m so pleased with my Verve Chair and the experience I’ve had with Branch Furniture! They will be at the top of my list for desk chair recommendations for my BLB clients and loved ones in the future and I hope you found this blog post helpful as you seek out the best investment for your body and workspace!
