I have a sit/stand desk and so I spend about half the day in my chair. I use a Steelcase Think; I like how it's relatively simple but still has a lot of articulation in its armrests, which makes it easy to get decent arm support where you need it. It's very sturdy and of nice quality. my only complaint is that I wish its back didn't have an inch of give before it hits the lock point at the furthest forward point, but this is really very minor.

if you live somewhere that you can go to an office surplus store, I'd super recommend doing that. I picked out this chair after trying a bunch out, and it was much cheaper than MSRP since it was used. they had like 20 different models and perhaps 5 of this one, and I picked out the nicest of the bunch.

Thanks. I'd never thought of an office surplus store.

Edit: The office surplus store here had 2 identical unremarkable shoddy used chairs for new shoddy chair price.

lol, that's a huge bummer though. when I picked up this chair I lived in a fairly major city, and it was during the "we're not doing return-to-office" times so I might've gotten lucky with what was being liquidated.
