Obviously my opinion, but I've actually own these. Another sleeper would be the Knoll Life chair that you can find on CL or FB for like $30. Most of my friends that sit on one prefer it more than the HM products.
Happy with it, I then bought another new one in January 2021 (to put in front of my musical keyboard) from this thread: https://slickdeals.net/f/14775508-new-steelcase-leap-chair-705-tax-fs-black-amazon-seller-amazon-authorized-reseller
The problem i always had with "cheap" office chairs from Best Best or Office Depot, was that the chair would eventually detach from the base pole. ...usually resulting in me doing a dramatic and comical backwards roll-out off the chair like a SCUBA diver entering the water, when they finally catastrophically fail.
The new Leap I bought in 2021 had me convinced I'd finally left that design problem behind. ↑ (2013 one was also still going strong) ...by spending about 7 times what I had usually spent on a new office chair. (going from about $100 with cheap chairs, to a whopping $700 for a Leap)
Now as I sit in my old 2013 chair, it squeaks very loudly when it pivots. And now (in the last week or so) I have begun listing hard to the left. Plus plastic bits have been breaking off and disintegrating the whole time. I often find little bits of broken black plastic on my floor under my chair.
My point is just to say, even these "nice" chairs are still far from bulletproof, though they ARE considerably tougher than standard cheapo office chairs.
It's tough call, whether they are actually worth it or not.
Comfort-wise they are great, and that's definitely worth a lot, for the time that they are working.
I'm interested in trying a Herman Miller Aeron chair next, since that was always my neck-and-neck pick versus Steelcase Leap anyway.

They sell THOUSANDS of chairs, typically 'individual' listings per chair - their pictures are pretty representative of the chair you'll get. They do usually take close-ups of any damage present on their 'grade B' chairs, too.
Reupholstered, and non-OEM vinyl arm pads are really the only things noticeable.
I realize they get a bad rap for "open box", but I did the research and bought "refurbished" through ebay for that reason. I'm glad I did.

I've replaced 3 chairs in the last 6 years after they all started falling apart and/or squeaking and screeching when I adjust in it. My currect $120 chair is so noisy it's embarrassing when I'm on calls.
How do these brand chairs hold up to a heavy guy that sits 8 hours a day?
Should I expect them to also start making a ton of noise 1 year into use? Can they be lubricated easily?
Thanks for any advice and personal experience you can share.
