Getting tired of my kitchen chair. I’m 195cm (6ft5) and need something ergonomic. I’ve heard mixed cases for/against gaming chairs. I’ve also heard Herman Miller is the way to go on the office end. My budget is $500 as of now. Any suggestions? Tall fish perspectives appreciated!

Just bought an aeron yesterday. They have sizing charts online but probably C. You can get one refurbished or used on Facebook for 4-500.
