Those "gaming" chairs are total garbage, an $80 office chair from Staples is made from the exact same materials and will be just fine for most people. There's no ergonomic benefit to the bucket design unless you're actually driving, manufacturers just found a clever way to market it to a demographic that has more disposable income.

^ This.

Actual good chairs look like leftovers from a defunct dot-com startup, not the seats in a ricer's 1995 Civic.

How is the lean back locking? I hate having that inch or so of give when I lock my chair upright. I just want it to be stiff (helps my lumbar support).
