Only thing you should've bought from staples is their Humanscale freedom chair, which are the only comparables to Herman Miller or Steelcase chairs. Anything else is a waste of money imo

Personally I'm not a fan of the gaming chairs nor bucket seats.
I'd go for a used hermin miller or steelcase myself.
I went with a 300$ one by a different brand but its a ergo chair.
Have a love hate relationship with it cause I have such poor posture in the chair.
Its uncomfortable at times but its doing what I need it to be doing which is making me sit properly.
One day I'll put a lazy boy on wheels just you wait.

But I guess DX Racer / Titan would be what your after.

Get a used Herman Miller or Steelcase from Craigslist, usually tons available from closed offices. With COVID, there may be more offices that closed down.

If you think about it, spending 1k on brand new Herman Miller isn't that expensive as you can use it for 10+ years without problems and be comfortable. I personally think it's a waste spending 100 to 300 chairs multiple times within that 10 year period, but each to their own



This is /thread actually, best advice you can get.

Don't buy a char that is called a "gaming chair" because they are all bad ergonomically.
