Good chair that is affordable ? (lemm.ee)

The other day someone asked this and everyone recommended a $1,400 chair. I can’t afford that, I can’t even dream of affording that. I’m looking for something with good lumbar support for ideally under $400 tops. Does anyone have any ideas?

And Inb4 someone says “buy one used / second hand” I looked and they’re still pretty pricey. My current chair is falling apart so I need to do something soon.

I would steer clear of any chairs that

  • function as a billboard for themselves (high back with a logo that's clearly visible on a twitch stream)
  • are built like a bucket seat from a race car
  • or are otherwise marketed toward "gamers"

I would try looking for a second hand expensive one. I found a guy on CL who restores Herman Millers; sold me a lightly used Aeron for like $300.

The one I used before that was the Ikea Markus (also purchased on CL for $100, barely used).
