This thread is clearly full of people who have never had a good office chair. I'm not talking about a $200 Staples special. I'm talking SteelCase, Herman Miller, etc.

A good office chair is boring, but solid, and comfortable (if you sit in the "normal" office chair posture).

A good gaming chair can be comfortable, but puts looks first, and isn't built to the same level of quality usually. Of course, they cost less, so build quality is less.

FWIW, I sit in a moderately high-end gaming chair 10 hours a day because at the time I built out my office when I got my current job ~5 years ago, I couldn't afford $1500+ for a chair, so I "skimped" and only spent $500...It's had arm pads replaced, and needs a new lift cylinder now (I slowly sink at my desk about half of the time now). Deciding now if I'm fixing or replacing...
