I use no chair of any kind. I stand all day.

On a soap box?

Difficult to judge from the video. Does the whole chair recline or only the back reclines back?

If the seat doesn't recline along with the back, that's a non-starter for me. I want tilt and rock.
This is what I mean.

Also @89th , avoid "bonded leather." It wears poorly and if you're in the chair for hours at a time, seat and armrests will wear through.

Bonded leather is crap.

Bonded leather is made by shredding leather scraps and leather fiber, then mixing it with bonding materials. The mixture is next extruded onto a cloth or paper backing, and the surface is usually embossed with a leather-like texture or grain. Color and patterning, if any, are a surface treatment that does not penetrate like a dyeing process would. The natural leather fiber content of bonded leather varies. The manufacturing process is somewhat similar to the production of paper.[3]

Lower-quality materials may suffer flaking of the surface material in as little as a few years, while better varieties are considered very durable and retain their pattern and color even during commercial use.[3] Because the composition of bonded leathers and related products varies considerably, and is sometimes a trade secret, it may be difficult to predict how a given product will perform over the course of time.

Metaphorical soapbox. Literally the floor.

I tried lots of office chairs, with every imaginable feature.

After decades of looking for the perfect chair, I ended up with something like this.

It just fits, no pain, simple

I’m with you @Copper. This is what I do too.

It's funny imagining someone in a suit sitting in one of those all day.

Sorry, the bare chair is my current seat, during the days of the suits I used the fancy chair.

I remember the guy who bought the fancy chairs told me that I was sitting in "The Chair of the Year".

I felt privilege.

White, male privilege, no doubt.

You could have bought James Holden’s workstation chair from The Expanse for only $2400..

iirc, it didn't have wheels, did it?

I had and liked an Aeron for a few years but the arm rests wore out. After replacing them, the seat broke.
