The Best Office Chair Is $50 Cheaper Than We've Seen Before

We've professionally sat in a lot of office chairs, and the Branch Ergonomic Chair Pro has held the top spot in our office chair buying guide ever since we first tested it. It's easy to spend a lot on an office chair, but this one packs in plenty of features for a relatively modest price. We like it at full price, and we've shared deal stories when it has gone on sale for $450 in the past.

Right now, though, it's down to $400 thanks to the Amazon Spring Sale. That's $50 cheaper than we've seen it before, and so of course, we had to tell you.

Many of the products and gadgets that we recommend are nice to have, but not necessary. Headphones are cool, but you might not need an upgrade. A fancy smart bird feeder is neat, but not crucial. But working from an inefficient, ergonomically poor office setup can wreak havoc on your body. It's actually bad for you. If you're sitting at a desk working from a computer, you genuinely, truly need a good office chair.

We recommend this chair for most people because it's easy to adjust and offers several customizable features. Its armrests, seat, and back can be tilted and maneuvered to dial in the perfect fit for your sit, and there are several different upholstery options available, including leather, vegan leather, and mesh. (Although the Amazon sale only features the mesh option; you'll have to go to Branch's website for the other materials.) All of the finishes offer a nice mix of softness, durability, and breathability. You could spend a lot more money for a little more customization, some higher-end materials, or even more adjustments, but we think this mesh version does a darn good job for what you'll pay and what most people need. Snagging it for $100 less is a no-brainer if you're in the market.
