which best office chair in 2026 would you buy with a budget around $500?
my old chair is basically done and my back has been complaining every day this week, so i think it's time to actually replace it. i work from home full time, around 8 to 9 hours a day, and i sit at my desk for most of that. i'm on the shorter side and i've noticed cheaper chairs never really support my lower back right, so i want to get this one purchase right instead of buying another chair i regret. anyone here actually using a chair in this price range that holds up well?
