I (very luckily) picked up a Serta Smart Layers Hensley Big & Tall Ergonomic Bonded Leather High-Back Chair in 2017 from Office Depot for $97 at Xmas time - It was a floor model.

The chair held up great, although I did break an arm off last year (sheered bolt) and had a heck of a time replacing the bolt to keep the chair going, but it worked.

The bonded leather finally started wearing off in the last year, so this year I decided to swing by Office Depot and drop another $97 ...

Of course that was not an option :)

So I checked out all the chair in the store and still very much preferred that Serta High-Back Big & Tall chair.

I was surprised to see the chair's regular price is $499 - Man did I get lucky in 2017.

It was on sail that day for $299, but I set on sub-$100 so I didn't buy it that day.

I went home and searched online in the $300 range, and by the time I realized that I wasn't going to be any happier than that chair for $300, the sale had ended :)

Then it was time to scour the internet for anyone still offering the sale price on that chair.

Finally found it at OfficeSupply.com with a few days left at the $299 sale price.

So now I'm back in the same chair and loving it.

So, I guess $300 is my price point :)
