Good office chair and $150 are mutually exclusive. Find a used Herman Miller or spend the money on a new one. Your body will thank you in 10 years.

Pay $500-$600 for a refurbished Herman Miller. I spent at least that much buying $150-$200 chairs that didn't last or feel right. Bought a used Aeron and haven't regretted the spend for a second.

I got a used Herman Miller from eBay for that price (although that was just prior to the pandemic hitting so prices may well have gone up), but it was a great investment. The other thing I’d think about is making sure that if you buy a chair with hand rests they are adjustable height to fit with the desk height.

Can we expense the chair? Since I save office chair

Haworth Zody. But it's more than $200.

I'll sell you mine for $150

You can get away with a cheaper chair from Amazon, but get ergonomic support (i.e. seat cushion and lumbar support. I got a $175 one from Amazon and paid prob another $50 in the support and I’ve been very happy!
