The unfortunate reality is that you really are better off buying second-hand/used compared to the offerings under a few hundred dollars. These brands are great, and objectively so. Does this mean you’ll like their chairs? No (but likely yes!). Nobody is asking you to spend thousands. The used market

My family uses pre-owned Steelcase Leap & Amia chairs bought off Facebook Marketplace or put out to trash by local businesses (businesses throw out so much stuff for shinier new things). They've been more comfortable and held up better than whatever office chairs we had been buying from Staples or O

If you get the chance, definitely try out the Steelcase Amia. I’m 6'3" and about 102 kg, and it’s been fantastic for me. I spend 12+ hours a day in it between work and leisure, and I never end up sore. The armrests are basically the same as the Leap, so you’ll get a similar feel there. I added a bit

The solution is to buy a used Steelcase Amia locally in the $100-200 range, and, in the fairly rare case that you decide you hate it, resell it again for the same $100-200.

Steelcase Amia, for $40, if everything work, that's a good deal.

I got a remote job and I wanted the same chair I had at my office because I miraculously hadn't had any back issues in the year I used it. Turns out it was a steelcase Amia that is waaay out of my budget. But made sense now how it fixed my chronic back pain! I ended up buying a used one for couple h

Steelcase Amia, it's $1k new. Good chair, $250 isn't a bad price on it but you can find them a couple times a year on FB marketplace for like $150-200 if you search real hard. Seems to be in great condition, there's a sticker on the bottom with the manufacturing date. I'd ask for that pic

Steelcase, check out a used Amia on Facebook marketplace, I find lots of people in big cities selling lots from offices that closed down. I got 3 basically new Amias with the tags on them still for $120 a piece. I see deals all the time on Facebook marketplace just have to keep your eyes out. Test t
