The biggest difference between cheap chairs and expensive chairs is the durability. Cheap chairs would wear out after 2-3 years of working at home part time. Quality chairs that are built for 40 hours a week of usage will last 10+ years. Most of them come with 10-15 year warranties.
I’m happy with my Aeron chair, but opinions are all over the place. It’s best to go to a store that sells high end office chairs and sit in all the chairs and see what works for you. |

Keep an eye out for these to go out sale. I got mine for $260 w/ additional 30% back in rewards during covid. I like it equally compared to a Herman Miller Aeron I had in a prior work setting.

Got tired of replacing the Staples/OD chairs every two years at home. Bought an Aeron for mine and my wife's home computer desks. That was over 10 years ago and zero problems with either. |

Steelcase Leap V2
I have an Aeron classic also and prefer the Steelcase, hands down. Both are nice chairs. YMMV Edit: we all know fb sucks, but keep an eye on marketplace. I was able to grab three Steelcase Leap V2 chairs ranging from $30-200. The $200 was mint and from 2018. The other two were $30 and $50 (both good condition but slightly older). I'm set for a long time. You'll rarely get as lucky with an Aeron. |

Quoted: Any recommended brands/models to look at? Thanks It's so subjective, it's probably a waste of time to suggest anything specific. You might want to provide some detail. Something like, "I want a new office chair. I am 6'2"/190 lbs, and have some occasional back issues, so I need good lumbar support. Any suggestions?" My methodology is to do a search on amazon and look at the reviews for chairs in my price range. I go through both the questions and comments, specifically looking from comments from people who are about my size, and go from there. Best of luck. |

Worked for a company in 2008 that bought $80 task chairs to work from 40 hours a week. I said the hell with it and bought an Aeron in 2008 and wrote it off as an reimbursed business expense.
I'm sitting in that same chair as I type this out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: The only thing I don't like about the Aeron is it's lack of headrest. I kinda want to try out the Vantum. Why? Besides being comfortable, at least in my opinion, they're built like tanks. The warranty is 12 years and it'll likely last even longer than that. It's relatively pricey up front, but if ends up being the last office chair you ever buy, it'll pay for itself over time. It's not like it's $20,000 unobtanium. The Aeron headrest is a clamp-on option. It works just fine. |
