I think a different way to spin this whole conversation is “you get what you pay for.” Prior to investing in a Secret Lab, I’d gone through several of the “top of the line executive office chairs” at some big box stores. They were shit. They fell apart, didn’t support me, and were made poorly. Most mass market gaming chairs are in that price range too so I expect their quality to be the same. Coincidentally, this is the point they make almost as soon as the video starts. I’m not able to pull up prices on the chairs they link (too lazy to Wayback those links) so I don’t know if I’m talking out of my ass or not.
For me, the $400 I spent on a Secret Lab was way better than the $1800 I could spend on an Aeron because I don’t feel comfortable in Aerons.
Edit: forgot to mention I am a totally different body type from you and my partner, who loves her Secret Lab, is very small. I think they’re great for all sorts of people.
Yeah I have both a secret lab omega and steelcase leap. The omega is an excellent fully featured chair that you can sit in for hours. Some offices even use them for work because it's good build quality for the price. Mine is 4 years old and the material is still flawless.
The steelcase is great too but it was multiple times more expensive and it didn't come with a headrest.
