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

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

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.

Steelcase Series 1! They aren't cheap but mine came with a warranty and it took about 5 years for me to use it, they sent me a whole new chair. I am also short and I pair this with an ottoman under my feet.

Steelcase series 1. I’ve had mine for 5+ years now and still find it very comfortable.
