Man Sitting In Freedom Chair Confident He'll Work From Home Long Enough To Justify $1,200 Price Tag

DALLAS, TX — After splurging on the $1,200 Freedom Chair designed by Niels Diffrient, sources confirmed that local man Rick Hedley is fully convinced he’ll be working from home long enough to justify the steep price.

While Hedley's wife initially expressed her displeasure at the extravagant purchase, Rick remains undeterred, firmly believing he'll make it worth every penny.

"I’d be a fool not to buy a $1,200 chair when it looks like I’ll be working from home indefinitely," Rick said to himself, adjusting the chair to mold perfectly to the curves of his back and knees—because that’s a thing you can do now. "My company mentioned they might even switch to a four-day workweek. This chair will actually save us money in the long run, I swear!"

Rick’s wife appeared skeptical at first, but when she saw the glaring difference between the Freedom Chair and the $85 flimsy relic he had been sitting in before, she began to soften her stance.

"Yeah, I was definitely apprehensive at first," Rick's wife admitted while listening to him enthusiastically explain how the adjustable seat depth and the floating pivoting backrest cater to the user's anatomy. "But now, I totally see the appeal. This chair is absolutely worth the investment!"

At publish time, sources confirmed that Rick’s list of "totally worth it" expenses was poised to include a hydroponic garden, because why not grow your own kale while sitting in luxury?
