One of the best pieces of advice I've picked up from the Internet is to never cheap out on things that connect you to the ground (tires, shoes, mattresses, chairs, etc). Theses chairs are primarily sold to business/ offices where they're meant to be used and abused daily for years without needing to be replaced while still remaining ergonomically comfortable. That said, 1200 is the new sticker price, you can absolutely find them second hand/ refurbished/ resold for a quarter of the price. Admittedly still expensive, but very much worth it when compared to an IKEA/ office max special.
(I may be a little biased since I daily drive a Leap V2)
Ok look advertising has clearly done a number on your brain because that is a fucking absurd amount of money to spend on a chair.
Like nothing in it is worth that much, you can get a very comfortable chair for 200 usd. You're not getting 1000 usd extra value from this, just think about how much money that is and what materials this is actually made of.
Things marketed to business are absurdly overpriced because spending someone else's money is easy, but you don't need a chair adaptable to any body shape and capable of taking 500 kg of load. you know what body shape you are, and you probably aren't that heavy. Features that sort of make sense in an office environment if you're high on your own farts are completely unnecessary at home.
This is about status, hence why OP literally leads with a brag about how much money they can afford to light on fire in this post.
Hell medical evidence suggests you don't even want too comfy of a chair because you should move around and engage your core muscles. Stuff like lumbar support is actively harmful to most people.
So get a nice chair sure but it's a chair, you shouldn't spend 12 weeks groceries on abs, mild steel, polyester, and maybe some polycarbonate. That's stupid.
