I think these days durability is the most important if you want to be “fair” in some sense of the word. A close relative has had his Aeron since the mid 90s. It’s still the same, like a tank, still in use. It’s repairable, sellable etc. I’ve torn through a few shitty ikea chairs in a couple years or so, and caused myself unnecessary strain and pain.

So I got myself an HM Sayl lately (used bargain) because I didn’t want a huge throne to dominate the small room. Best choice ever. Can’t recommend strongly enough. Prefer it to aeron.

As with cars, not worth buying new, but worth buying higher quality used. The noteworthy brands retain value for longer but the wear and tear drives their price down.
