I have a Herman Miller at work (when I worked a the office anyway..) and it's worth it
I have one at home, and yeah, the thing is definitely worth it...well, the base model for around $900 at least. This one looks a little weird.

Its about $1000 more than I would spend on a chair
You are still willing to spend $500 for a chair? Darn, I paid that much for my last car and it was great.

Better be a massager in that chair
Hell, there better be a masseuse that comes with it for that price. LOL

Of course it is, you didn't pay for ot. hehehe

Perhaps you can put a price on comfort... perhaps you can't?
Finally, someone with sense. Cheers.

Honestly, I spent the last week or so watching chair reviews as I was needing a new one, I started where most of us gamers start, the typical gaming chair which 9 out of 10 times starts with a racing type chair, as I sifted through the videos and reviews it occurred to me more and more gamers and streamers were switching to ergonomic style office chairs and Herman Miller kept coming up.

After watching tons of reviews I decided to try an Autonomous chair, it wont be here for a few weeks but after spending my entire gaming life, which is pretty long I am 46 and started gaming on PC's in 80's every chair I ever owned was some sort of gaming or leather type chair. One thing people kept talking about was back issues which has finally caught up to me so I am interested to find out if a office/ergonomic/adjustable chair helps my posture and back issues, I hunch forward a lot in these gaming chairs so I am sure my back is pretty F'd up.

As for Herman Miller, from the reviews and videos I saw, if put in our lingo this would be a top of the line gaming rig with all the bells and whistles, people have testified to 6+ years of use and the chairs still look and feel like the day it came out of the box. I have never had one, but almost every review I have seen has said this is the best.

I sold my car this week for that money. It still was running fine. 20 years old, some stuff didn't work anymore, but nothing essential.

Hell, there better be a masseuse that comes with it for that price. LOL
My first thought

Of course it is, you didn't pay for ot. hehehe
You hit the nail again

I have no idea how well that seat would work for me, but it looks like it would be comfortable. Comfortable enough to cost as much as an Idris in SC though? I have my doubts, but unless I win the lottery this is way out of my budget range.

i'd probably would save a little bit more and get something like this

If I had unlimited funds & a gaming system that could easily run SC in 4k @144hz with 1ms refresh or better, I'd go for 1 of these examples above while also adding in a private AC / heating unit for the room I'd keep it in as well as a full kitchenette to keep the refreshment runs as brief as possible during long gaming sessions. Meanwhile, I've been using the chairs like the 1 below for gaming for the past decade. Feel free to cringe if you like, but at $50 a pop every 4-5 years, my wallet didn't hate me although sometimes my back would.
