I’m a fan of Steelcase chairs. Depending on budget, both the Series 1 and Think chairs are great

Ooh I think the “think” chair has adjustable depth that could work for me, thanks!

Autonomous AI MYO chair is pretty nice

Humanscale Freedom Chair!

Do any of these have a 16 in seat depth? I’m looking and it seems like 17in is standard. I’m pretty short haha

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish. She keeps calling all my ideas ‘gamer chairs’ even though they’re definitely not. Anyone have any chairs they really like that may be worth looking at? I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).
