The chair is probably something not to be overlooked in the whole computer setup...

I am currently looking to buy a second hand ''Steelcase leap V2'' at 250$ usd (I will be trying it out in 2weeks)
If it's comfy and in good working condition, I will consider buying it.

I was wondering if anyone of you guys own or owned one and what opinion you might have of it?
Or If you guys have other suggestions to make?

250-300$ budget. I am bout 5'10'' and 150lbs...

I did consider those:
Herman Miller Aeron (Tried a used one, but the mesh seat was slouch and my butt was touching the metal frame underneath.)
Mirra (Never tried one, probably over budget tho)
Steelcase Gesture (The armrests are an interesting feature, but it's probably gonna be over budget too)

Other options?
I am not really interested in gamer chairs such as dxracer, unless there is a more ergonomic model I don't know of...
Yes, I am crazy enough to sit on an exercise ball, which is kinda of an interesting experience (lacks of back support tho)
Standing desk? Not interested at the moment, eventually maybe...
Good old wooden chair? meh...

I am mainly looking for an ergonomic chair, that will provide a good overall posture and be relatively comfy...

I don't think it will support the spine properly, but you get the style points

I use a herman miller embody chair, but a little bit out of budget.

Honestly for that price though, you're going to get a chair, have it for two years and end up getting a new one.

I would save up a bit more if possible, and try the Mirra, it's a good chair as well.

I've read that they have No adjustable lumbar support beyond the shape of its back piece and poor adjustment mechanism for arm rests... and It's twice the budget :(

Looks like a chair out of Star Trek, but the spine support most be incredible.

I was lucky enough to get it for $500 due to a work discount.

The only thing I hate about the chair are the arm rests, but they aren't that bad. I just hate how you adjust them.

I have back issues and this chair has fixed them a lot, especially compared to my other chairs I used.

Again though, I still would recommend saving on your budget and testing the Mirra II.

I will be going to the seller next week
they have
The leap v2 250$
mirra1 at 280$
and an herman miller size B 320$

I will probably try them all
I think I will rather go with the used leap, not sure if the herman is going to sag, idk if mirra1 will be worth it
