I bought a Herman Miller chair 12 years ago when I started working from home full time. It was close to $1,000 and I was hesitant to spend that much, but I'm sure I would have gone through at least 3 office chairs by now had I bought cheap ones. This chair will probably still be solid until I retire. Definitely worth the investment.
I'll take this opportunity to plug Crandall Office Furniture, since I learned about them in a similar reddit thread a couple of years ago. My girlfriend was looking for a new office chair because all the cheap ones she's tried have destroyed her back. We got her a refurbished Leap v2 for about $600, compared to the $1200+ it would be new. She absolutely loves the chair and has had significantly fewer issues with her back. And you'd never know the chair was used, they do an excellent job refinishing everything. Highly recommend, I'll be going with them when I need a new office chair.
+1 to this! I bought the same chair from them a couple years ago, and as a remote worker it's been worth every cent. Oddly enough I had the Leap v1 as a previous job and hated it, but the v2 has been great for me. I found the armrests a bit uncomfortable but some cheap memory foam covers solved that.
In the Toronto, Canada area there's UNRC Furniture in Markham, that sells overstock and refurbished brand name office chairs for relatively cheap.
