I think the best middle ground is refurbished. There’s a few good companies out there that do it, but I can only really attest to Crandall furniture’s quality. I bought a Steelcase Amia from them a year and a half ago and it’s made all the difference in my home office.
I have an Autonomous chair I got in 2020 after watching a JayzTwoCents vid. My wife and I both got one for about $400 or so each. I’d say it probably won’t still hold up after another 5 years but it’s miles ahead of the $90 chair it replaced. And my back still doesn’t hurt after sitting in it for 8-12 hours a day.
Herman Millers are Goated, though i will say their business practices are not the best anymore unfortunately. Though second hand, always go for it.

Ooh good stuff. I’ll need to look into that as well.
Oh no, what did they do?
Bad practices to their workers. Poor treatment. See here for the backlash since it’s been awhile herman Miller news
Ah, not as bad as I was imagining, but still a bad look. I’m not in the market for another HM anytime soon, so we’ll see how it is when I am. Thanks!
