2	OFM 525 Full Mesh Office Chair with Headrest & Lumbar Support	Low	DONE	Amazon	No	2	Decently inexpensive and we really like how the max seat height is up to 22.2 inches -- but bad seat pan angle, don't love the backrest, lacking some basic features, has mesh seat, and not great ratings.	$195	No	3.7 across approx. 20+ ratings	Not many reviews and barely any 5 star ratings. But people did like the value for money and some people mentioned that they liked the adjustability of the lumbar support	Limited Lifetime	275	22.2	18.3	20.5	17.7-20.1	26.2	35.72	No	No	No	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes		No	Yes	Yes
3	X Chair X4 Leather Executive Chair, Cognac Leather with Headrest	High	DONE	Amazon	No	2.5	Certainly one of the sleekest looking chairs on market. However, we think it's missing important ergonomic features, a better lumbar support, and ratings that could justify the price.	$1300+	Yes	4.0 stars across 55 ratings	People liked the ease of assembly, the sleek look, comfort, and adjustments. People voiced concerns about quality for price, heaviness of the chair, lumbar support, and all-day comfort.

5	Zody by Haworth	Medium	DONE	Amazon	No	2.75	Virtually no assembly, lot of features (including slight forward tilt), sleek, solid max height at 21in, and lightweight but has good max capacity. That said, it seems overpriced for what you get. We don't love the less than great review on Amazon &, although there is an independent lumbar support, it doesn't look like it maintains the support you would want given the mesh back.	450+	No	3.5 across 12 ratings	Positive reviews highlight the quality and customer service. One reviewer said that the arms aren't 4d as described, quality for price seems to be a concern as well.		325	21	16	19.25	16-19		19.8	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No

7	Office Star Multi Function Ergonomic Chair with Ratchet Back and Adjustable Soft Padded Arms	Medium	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	3	Solid build using aluminum and good adjustment capabilities for the price. But, not many ratings on Amazon and the chair heigh adjustment range is not great.	$200	Yes	4.3 stars across 8 ratings on a recent listing.	People loved the price and comfort. One person voiced concerns about product quality and another mentioned that adjusting the backrest height isn't intuitive.

8	SPACE Seating Professional AirGrid and Padded Eco Leather Seat, 2-to-1 Synchro Tilt Control, Adjustable Arms & Tilt Tension w/ Nylon Base Managers Chair	Medium	DONE	Amazon	No	3	This is an Amazon's choice chair for a reason -- it boasts a 23in max seat height! That is VERY tough to find. But, the chair has a bad seat pan angle + way too much space between the backrest and seatpan. It's also relatively expensive given that it lacks important adjustmeant features	$154	Yes	4.4 across 1600+	People really dig this chair in the Amazon ratings. They really loved the value for the money and the durability. Complaints discussed the fact that it lacks ergonomics.

9	818 Series Black High Back Executive Office Chair	Medium	DONE	Home Depot	No	3	We liked the cushion and the fact that it had a lumbar support. No forward seat tilt and this is generally a must-have in mid-range price category. Also is lacking an indepently adjustable lumbar support. Definitely too expensive for the features.	$340	No	N/A	Frankly, there just aren't enough.	Limited Lifetime	300	20.25	17.75	20	19	23	52	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No
10	CHAIRMAN Ergonomic Mid-Back Mesh Forward-Tilting Drafting Stool	Low	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	3	Not at all what you would want for a desk chair unless you having a standing desk. Then, if you are standing a lot and can supplement this chair's lumbar support it might be a good fit for you all.	Currently Unavail	Yes	4.3 star avg. across 50+ ratings	People love the fact that it can basically double as a stool or desk chair.	12-month warranty	350	31	21	19.5	19.5	23.25		Yes	No	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No	No
11	Offices To Go Adjustable Office Chair	Low	DONE	Amazon	No	3	Decent given the low price category. It is non-mesh which should help with support. But features are pretty limited, it lacks the forward seat pan tilt, weight limit is low at only 250 lbs, and very few ratings.	$189	No	Barely 4 stars across only 9 ratings	People seemed to like the durability and value but honestly didn't leave much about the details. Some complaints about cushion quality and lack of features.	Not found	250	Not found	Not found	Not found	Not found	Not found	42	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No	No	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No

15	Branch Furniture Ergonomic Chair	Medium	DONE	Branch Furniture	No	3.75	Solid chair -- great quality chair, amazing warranty, solid other features for the price. And multiple color options and good look. However, the lack of a forward seat pan tilt excludes this chair from being a finalist and it's also a bit of a bummer that the backrest height can't be adjusted and chair can't recline.	$299	Yes	N/A, could only find reviews on retailer site.	5 stars across 700+ reviews, almost certainly curated.	7yrs, full chair	300	21	17	25	18-22	21	35lbs assembled	No	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No
16	Herman Miller Embody Chair	High	DONE	Amazon	No	4	Some people love it and rave about the comfort technology. But, we think it's way too expensive for what you get -- no forward seatpan tilt, can't adjust height of backrest, no heardrest, and the lumbar support can't be adjust up/down...just it's thickness.	$1,695	Yes	4.3 stars across 50+ Amazon reviews, 4.5 stars across 400+ ratings on older listing	People liked the ease of adjustments, comfort, and durability. Quality for the price, lack of headrest, defects, and comfort were the most common negatives.

Wow. People loved the quality, comfort, adjustments, and made in USA nature of the chair.

22	Steelcase Leap V2 Ergonomic Office Chair	High	DONE	Amazon	Considered	4.5	Very well-made and has nearly all the functions/adjustments available that you would want. Although it lacks the critical forward seatpan tilt, you get a version of that adjustment via the waterfall edge. It also comes fully assembled and with a 12yr warranty to support its high quality proposition. This is a luxury item.	$1,000	Yes	4.4 stars across 400+ ratings			400							Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No
23	Herman Miller Mirra 2 Task Chair	High	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	4	Pretty expensive. But cheaper than Aeron and hase a lot of good features.

24	Modway Articulate Mesh Office Chair in Black	Low	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	4.1	Multiple color options is great, inexpensive price is good, the max seat height is amazing, and it's tough to find a chair at this price with a max weight capacity of 325+ lbs. However, we ultimately couldn't select this chair due to some durability concerns about mesh back, and seat tilt only goes backwards, and it's lacking some other featurees that we think are pretty important. Still could be a good option, however.	$170	Yes	4.1 stars across 3600+ ratings	People really liked the cushion, price, and ease of assembly. Other people voiced concerns about durability.	1yr	331	24	19	19	20	22		No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No
25	Office Star ProGrid Mid Back Managers Chair with Adjustable Arms	Low	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	4.25	Strongly considered given its adjustments (incl. forward seat tilt) at this pricepoint. But, there were a few too many concerns about lumbar support and product quality. Of course, customer service had good reviews and you can always supplement with a lumbar pillow.	$179	Yes	370+ ratings, avg. approx. 4.3 stars.	People loved the adjustments, seat cushion, and feel for the pricepoint. Complaints included product quality and breakages.

26	Big and Tall Office Chair 400lbs Desk Chair Mesh Computer Chair	Low	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	4.25	Really incredible reviews for the price. great seat pan height. Just doesn't have forward seatpan tilt -- which we think its really important. Also can't adjust armrests side to side. But amazing price that's esp. impressive for Bit & Tall chairs	$150	Yes	4.3 stars across 2500+ ratings	Great number and quality of reviews! People speak highly of how durable and wide it is. But people note that it is comfy for people of any size.	30 days	400	22	17	23	22	22.5	45	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	No
27	The HÅG SoFi 7500 Model by Flokk Furniture	High	DONE	Flokk Furniture	No	4.25	Looks like a rock star chair that you can customize if buying directly from Flokk Furniture. It could very well be one of my favorites this year. However, I am bummed that it is missing one critical feature: the forward seat pan tilt. But besides that, the features are incredible, it is sleek, looks quite supportive, has an independently adjustable lumbar support, optional headrest that is adjustable so you don't deal with the downsides of a headrest, and some of the best armrest maneuverability as well. Also -- you can get a pneumatic cylinder that will put the max height all the way to 25 inches....that is almost unheard of, but very much needed for taller folks.	600+	No	N/A	That's the thing about this chair -- you can't find online reviews anywhere. The reason for this isn't clear since it actually does look high quality.	10yr, everything	Unknown	25.19 OR 21.45	17.7 OR 15.5	17.71	15.3-18.1	24.4	50+ lbs	Yes	Yes	No	No	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes		Yes
28	TechniMobili Black High Back Executive Mesh Office Chair	Low	DONE	Amazon	No	5	Not many or amazing ratings. Also -- missing features that we think are crucial	$166	No	None	Only 12 ratings on Home Depot, not great. People liked the quality for price. One reviewer didn't like the fabric b/c he thought it was too slippery.	2yrs	250	20	17	17	19	23	38	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes
29	Alera ALE Wrigley 24/7 High Performance Multifunction Chair	Medium	DONE	Amazon	Winner	5	Solid features, seat height goes high + forward tilt.	$239	Yes		Strong reviews -- there just aren't tons of them.	5yrs	275	22.5	18.5	19.68	18.3	21.25	50	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	No	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No
30	CLATINA Ergonomic High Swivel Executive Chair	Low	DONE	Amazon	Maybe	3	Really liked the wide range of adjustments available, sleek look, and the independently adjustable lumbar support + 6-dimensional arms. Maybe could've been a selection except for the lack of forward seatpan tilt and we do wish the seat went higher. Wew were also concerned about the gap between the backrest and the seat as well as the default angle of the seatpan.	$225	Yes	4.3 stars across 270+ ratings		5yrs	275	20.5	17.7	18.75	17		57.9	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No
31	NOUHAUS Ergo3D Ergonomic Office Chair	Medium	DONE	Amazon	No		terrible seat pan angle This one is a notable failure because it has so many ratings on Amazon that are relatively solid -- yet it has a terrible seat pan angle that doesn't seem to be conducive to a healthy back.	$320	Yes	4.4 star avg. across 2700+ ratings			275							No	Yes	Yes	Yes		No			Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes
32	Mammoth Office Products Fabric Multifunction Mid-Back Chair, Black	Medium	DONE	Office Depot	Considered	3.25	Not available in enough locations, looks expensive for what you get....and there is a pretty big gap between the backrest and the seat. Also no online reviews.	$279
33	OFM Model 247 24-Hr Multi-Adjustable Ergonomic Upholstered Swivel Task Chair with Arms	Medium	DONE	Amazon	Runner-up	4.5	Looks like a great chair -- but the ratings weren't numerous enough or good enough to get runner-up status	$287	No	3.9 stars across 50+ ratings			400	23	19.5	20.5	20	20.5		Yes	Yes	Yes		Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	No
34	Steelcase Series 2	High	DONE	Amazon	Considered	3.75	Great chair, solid quality, good features, and solid support. Independently adjustable lumbar support is great. Max seat heigh is a decent 21.5in. Unfortunately, there's no forward seat pan tilt function and you can't adjust backrest height...only lumbar support.	$599	Yes	4 across 90+ ratings	People love the quality, durability, ease of assembly, and lumbar support. Negative reviews complained of comfort & value for money.	12yr manufacturer	400	21.5	16.5	19	14-17.75	22.5	36	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No
35	Steelcase Gesture Chair	High	DONE	Amazon	Winner	4.5	Fantastic chair that is very well-built, it is a luxury item. The forward seatpan titlt comes through a waterfall edge on front of seat; slightly different than other chairs but should do the trick. The quality is incredible and people love the comfort. For the price, we do wish that the max seat height was a bit higher.	$900-1400	Yes	4.5 stars across 900+ ratings	A stunning 86% of reviewers put 4 stars or higher on Amazon. That's shocking for a chair that's so expensive. People loved the comfort, quality of materials, look, adjustments, and lumbar. Basically everything. Negative reviews report issues with their comfort, the price, look, and weight.	Limited Lifetime	400	21	16	20	15.75-18.5	24	58	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	No	No
