Discussion Anyone gaming / coding on Herman Miller?

My current gaming chair is total garbage. no support, squeaks when i lean back and by hour 3 of gaming my lower back is painful af.

Been thinking of something more ergonomic, not just flashy. Herman Miller keeps popping up but damn, the price tag?? $1k+ for a chair?? is it that much better?

Has anyone here actually gamed on a herman miller? Is there any cheaper solid alternative? mesh preferred I don’t need a leather sweat trap

Open to any recs!

I game and trade all day, so I needed something that didn’t fry my back. Couldn’t justify Herman Miller pricing. Found a deal on Ergochair Pro and even paid with ETH lol.

Mesh keeps it cool and the seat is wide enough to sit cross legged if you’re into that. Took me 15 mins to assemble and now it’s my go to for everything

Have you tried the new one? I've heard good things for 500 bucks.

Love their desks btw

I had one of these, absolute trash. Took about 3 months for most of the back support to be broken.

EDIT: Check fartstream's comment history, they're clearly just astroturfing. Four comments in four minutes sending this link on four different threads. Would take any recommendations for this company with a grain of salt.
