Steelcase Gesture is $863 on Amazon this morning
I was always in the 'cheap chair until it breaks' category but last year I invested in this, using the payment option to justify spending that much on a chair. The adjust ability is very good and it's just flat comfortable for all-day sitting (as we in this profession tend to do).
If that's not an option, check around for used Steelcase or Herman Miller chairs (as others that'd responded said). The Herman Miller's are awesome as well.
I'd look into a local authorized dealer, or skim FB marketplace/craigslist constantly.
​
Authorized dealers have discounts that really do take the price down for a new chair, though not quite to the $500 mark for a gesture. I think I would've barely beat the current deal on a a Gesture on Amazon if I got the exact specs, but I figured I'd splurge and customize a bit. Compared to a used refurbished gesture from any other reputable place only being maybe $100-200 difference, I decided to just get brand new.
So the Steelcase Gesture is $825 on Amazon right now, plus with free returns through January. Is there any reason to be questionable of this deal? I've been testing an aeron lately and really don't like the non-adjustable seat pan for my longer legs.
I went ahead and ordered it cause the return policy is great, but was surprised to not see anyone talking about this deal here or in other subs.
Smartest move.
I did something very crazy with my choice of chair.
The Reason behind this choice was, I had one of those clone racing chairs. And within 1 year the seat ripped off its stand. And in the last 4 yrs Ive gone through 3 chairs. So I decided enough is enough. Get one really good chair that would last for at least 10 yrs.
This is what I got . If your budget is high, I dont mind helping to search for good sale.

It was 1100 at the time of purchase. And with a 150 amz credit had it for 950 or there about. I additionally rationaliezed the purchase as a $52 per month for 18 months or $26 per pay check . For a Chair that should last me 10yrs. (worth it from that point of view) Never thought I would spend that much on a chair in my life.
How does the chair feel ? Was it worth the price ?
Price - not worth it (but no other chair of this quality at a lower price exists, so what can i do )
feel and comfort. 9/10
So it depends on you what you want to do. These are the other chairs I looked at
​
I used this article and reddit sentiment to make up my mind.
On another Note/Tip
if you got the same color of table top that I linked above, then these Ikea Alex Drawers work very well. They are not the exact color, but they work fantastically.
​
Hope I was able to help. Good luck

Steelcase Gesture (https://www.amazon.com/Steelcase-442A40-5S25-Gesture-Graphite/dp/B016OIF2JU) - after reading this: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-office-chair/
It is going to set you back about a thousand dollars though. But for me, with the hope it'll last 10 years? Entirely worth it.
