Home Office Chairs?
What are folks recommending for home office chairs? I'm thinking something more reasonable than a Herman Miller. Ideally more in that $200 to $300 range.

I bought a Staples Kroy mesh chair, it’s been decent.

If you're in NY, I think Herman Miller has an outlet in NJ somewhere.

Costco has a few very solid options for $150 and under

Hermann Miller Aeron. Get one for $4-500 from office outlets - they sell them cheap when big companies over order. Recommend springing for the extra lumbar pad and such - you can sit in it for hours and hours and feel no soreness, at all.

Re: Home Office Chairs?
For Herman Millers, does the fabric ever sag? I've always wondered that. Anyone happen to recommend a outlet or something for them in the San Francisco Bay Area? I always worry about used furniture like chairs to be defective somehow. Something of concern or no?

Re: Home Office Chairs?
Steelcase (particularly the Leap v1 and Leap v2) are comparable / competitive with Herman Miller Aeron, as solid long-lasting and highly adjustable and comfortable office chairs.
They cost about $1000 new and come with a great warranty. If you don't want to pay that much, you can try to find one on Craigslist or you can use a "gray market" site like madison seating to buy one that is refurbished. That's what I did -- I got a Leap v2 for ~500 from them. It's solid and I think I got lucky in that nothing on it is broken (some of the reviews are scary) but I also don't think it's quite as spiffy as a true/new one, and it doesn't have a meaningful warranty.

Re: Home Office Chairs?
I would jump on this ASAP before the sale ends. Steelcase is a very reputable brand that is a direct competitor to Herman Miller. CNN rated this chair as their top office chair pick for 2020.
