Series 1

i feel you on the sore back after full days. the branch chair is decent for $300 but the steelcase series 1 at $500 is worth the jump - way better lumbar and seat cushion that doesnt flatten. also check out the sihoo m18 around $250 or the clatina mellet if you want a headrest. what helped me was ge

Came here to recommend Steelcase as well! I bought a Series 1 in like 2020 and this year my chair kept lowering on its own. I was able to use the warranty to get a whole new chair at no cost! That said, I don't know if they still have that warranty as an option.

I have a Steelcase Series 1 I have been using for about 5 years now that I absolutely love. It has held up great. It's $530 brand new, pre-tax, so it's probably just outside of your price range, but if you go the route I did and get a refurbished one then it falls within your budget. You may be able

i ran into this same rabbit hole last year. most of those alibaba chairs are the same frame with different logos slapped on. the real difference is in the warranty and customer support. honestly for under $500, the clatina mellet or staples dexley give you good adjustability without the hype tax. if

Try a second hand steelcase or Herman miller. There is a reason they give that 12 year warranty. My Series 1 is still super comfortable and even after a ton of abuse, there isn’t a single issue.

ngl the branch is decent but steelcase series 1 is a real upgrade - the seat foam and lumbar actually hold up past 6 months. i'd also throw Staples Ayalon into the mix around $400, it's basically a poor man's leap. if you can stretch to $550, Steelcase Series 2 gives you adjustable lumbar depth whic

kinda went through this last year when my back started acting up after long coding sessions. the Herman Miller Aeron is a classic for a reason, holds up great for 8+ hours. if that's out of budget, the Steelcase Series 1 is a solid alternative that keeps you supported all day. worth checking local l

huge difference, seriously. i switched after dealing with back pain from a cheap gaming chair and it was night and day. for 12 hour days you want something with solid lumbar support. the HON Ignition is a solid choice at that price point, but if you can stretch the budget a bit, the Steelcase Series
