Steelcase is the king here. Not for the commoners and peasants mind you

I got a Fabizio from Amazon with articulating monitor arms desperately. It’s been great so far.

Uplift is the best. Steelcase if you want to spend more than required.

What do you recommend?

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
