Speak to me of office chairs.

I've had on my list of home improvements for a while a new office chair. My current one is an IKEA job with arms that don't adjust wrapped in yoga mats to compensate for my height, which isn't much less than 5'10" (177 cm). Sometimes my back isn't happy when I get up, but it's nowhere near as bad as the days before the yoga mats early in the pandemic.

I still have some of that tax refund. I hear that the Aeron by Herman Miller is the gold standard, but that's $700 used and twice as much new. I've sat in them – more than three years ago. So, dear readers, what say you? Which makes and models work for you? Is used a good deal? Edited to add: bonus points if you're near my height.

GamersNexus, who as a whole don't like gamer chairs, did a big ergo rundown a little over a year ago on their youtube channel. Based on their commentary and testing of several chairs, I got a Komene ergonomic office chair. Anna and Paul both got and liked the Autonomous ErgoChair, if I remember the model correctly. (Brand is definitely Autonomous, I checked Anna's chair.)
