Can anyone provide a good office chair recommendation? Looking to spend somewhere between $200-$300, but willing to look into pricier options if it is really worth it!

I bought the Staples Osgood executive chair for $100 (without sale it's maybe $150)

I've been using it for 1-2 months. It was very easy to put together. It came nicked in a couple places and they sent replacements right away, free if charge. I just stored them in my attic because it wasn't worth replacing for a minor scratch.

I don't think this chair will stand the test of time. But for 1-2 years before I move, I think it will work well.

But it looks really great for now! And it is super comfortable. And I really liked the high back, which was an important feature to me. My back has started feeling way better and I think the only think left to do is replace my bed lol

Personally I didn't want to spend a lot of money because I don't actually have anywhere to put a nice chair (it's at my kitchen table) and I knew it might get damaged in a move.

The Caper Stacking Chair from Herman Miller is roughly in that range, and works decently well (at least the version with wheels/casters does).

I also suggest FB marketplace. I got a fully loaded 2019 herman miller aeron that was new in the box for $400. Has the posture fit and everything which I would suggest getting. Makes sitting long hours in a chair much more tolerable

One of the best!

I am currently considering this chair as I’m moving soon and will finally have an office. Do you have it? How long? Any complaints or issues?

I’ve been torn between getting this vs. trying to find a used higher end chair like the HM or Steelcase. Unfortunately used prices I’ve seen are no where near as soon people have mentioned, guess the market for home office chairs is understandably bumping.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
