Premium office chairs involve far more cost up-front, but are actually pretty good values when you consider that there's a realistic chance that they'll last 10-20+ years of normal use. Herman Miller, as one example, I believe offers a standard 12 year parts and labor warranty with their chairs, so they're probably intended to last at least 12 years. The no-name $100 chair you find on Amazon has a pretty good chance of starting to fall apart within 1 year.
