99 percent of "office chairs" are the same poorly constructed garbage that "gaming chairs" are. Actually good chairs are 400-1000+ which most people cannot afford unfortunately.

Any office chair in similar price range would be at least somewhat better than a gaming chair. Gaming chairs are also overpriced so there really is no reason to but one unless you prefer looks (subjective) over comfort for done reason.

I was looking for some affordable refurbished ones like leap but it was either out of my price range or hard to find a good one. Ended up buying a cheap office chair, kinda regret it but ig you get what you pay for.

Most gaming chairs are an easy 200+. At that price range, an office chair is GOING to outperform it in terms of comfort.

Gaming chairs on the other hand, throw on some pads with different colored stitching, and are incredibly low quality.

You can get very high end office chairs incredibly cheap if you looks used. It's not hard to all to find Steelcase Leaps and Herman Miller Aerons under $300 on Craigslist, eBay, FB Marketplace, or used office supply stores. I got my Steelcase Leap for $220 and it's been going strong for over 5 years now.
