The only budget office chair that I fully recommend is just $129 now!
It's stylish, ergonomic, and worth every penny.
UPDATE: Although this record-low price on the M18 continues – it's $129 over at Amazon – for some reason Amazon is now stating it's retail price as $180. It was actually $159.99 yesterday, so just to make clear what saving you will make, we have kept the original 'retail' price of yesterday at $159.99. Bottom line: it's still a record low price and a fantastic chair!
Having reviewed and tested around 40 office chairs to date, I can confidently say that when it comes to style, comfort, ergonomics and value, there is no better than the Sihoo M18 chair. And right now it's at its all-time low price of $129 over at Amazon.
Don't get me wrong – if you want a leather executive chair, or an ultra ergonomic chair that will also offer heating and massage features, this is not the chair for you. But then, if you want those bells and whistles, you'll have to pay out around $1,000 +. The M18 does what it does extremely well, and is rightfully top of my list of the best budget office chairs out there today.
If you want the very best – including the leather thrones and fancy stools – see my list of the best office chairs for back pain. But in the meantime, do yourself a favour and get this fantastic chair!
The best budget chair deal
Sihoo M18: $159.99 $129.99 at Amazon
Save $30: Yes, this is only a saving of $30. But when you consider that this is the very best budget chair out there, I'm simply amazed that there's a discount on it at all. Certainly £129 is the lowest price that I've seen it sell for, and it's an outstanding price on an outstanding chair.
It's comfy, ergonomic, stylish (I really like the grey and black as in the picture, but there's green and orange too), and ultimately, it's exceptional value.
The best mid-range chair deal
Sihoo Doro C300: $359 $269 at Amazon
Save $90: This deal was only $60 off over Memorial Day, so it's even better now at $90 off. This is the C300 from Sihoo and it's a slightly more engineered chair than the top M18. It's also a chair that would suit a larger person with a larger bum! It's wider than the other two chairs on this list.
The best high-end chair deal
Herman Miller Aeron: $790 $615 at Amazon
Save $160: This deal is also improived - it was down to $629 a few days ago, so that's a few more bucks off the asking price. The Aeron is a classic office chair, and it's been popular with creatives (and presidents for that matter) for decades. When I reviewed it, I was blown away at how comfy it was, and how beautiful!
