Which one should you buy?
For most Australian work-from-home buyers the SIHOO M57 Ergonomic Office Chair at around $249 is the right buy. 8+ hours a day in an office chair is the single biggest physical-health investment a remote worker makes, and the M57 is the chair that delivers genuine ergonomic adjustability (lumbar support, 4D armrests, seat tilt, headrest) at the price point that makes it actually buyable — not the $700+ tier most ergonomic chairs sit at. Sub-$250 for adjustable lumbar + breathable mesh + 3-year warranty is exceptional value, and SIHOO's AU support has matured over 2024-2026.
If you're full-time WFH and want a chair that'll last 10+ years rather than 3-5, the ErgoTune Joobie at ~$599 is the upgrade. Australian-designed brand with the 12-year warranty (longest in the AU residential ergonomic category), 11-point adjustability, and dynamic lumbar that responds to your spine posture rather than fighting it. Pay the extra $350 only if WFH is your permanent setup — 5+ days a week, year after year — where the long warranty + better build pays back over time.
The BenQ GW2480 24" Monitor at ~$189 is the screen essential to pair with either chair. IPS panel with sRGB-accurate colour, eye-care brightness adjustment that reduces 8-hour-screen fatigue, and built-in speakers + integrated cable management. Sub-$200 for a 24" 1080p IPS monitor is the right price tier for a primary WFH screen — go larger (27"+) only if you specifically work in design or run multiple windows simultaneously.
One honest limitation: none of these three is a standing desk. If you alternate sit + stand throughout the day (the actual ergonomic best-practice for desk work), pair the chair + monitor above with an adjustable desk from our best standing desk guide. The picks above are the chair + screen layer; the desk surface is the third piece.
