    They do look horrible. I found a model that at least has sofa fabric, not polyurethane fake leather but still it’s a bit tacky. You don’t need lateral support on a damn desk chair. But unfortunately these chairs are great value, you can’t find office chairs with the same comfort features for that cheap. I paid $400 for my better than average gamer chair while an equal office chair is about $1200.

      This is blatantly false. There are tons of options on Amazon alone with better comfort features for the same $400 you listed. I’ve bought multiple for just about that which are on oar with $1200 chairs. Office chairs over $1000 are almost all Herman Miller and those are just overpriced. There are plenty of options if you just search Amazon for “office chair”.

        It’s not made up, just hugely dependant on area and market. In Finland there just isn’t shops selling affordable decent quality office chairs. Less than $500 gets you a horrible seat where half of the price is markup, and Finnish made chairs cost anywhere from $800 to $4000.
