Quality chairs are worth it. I bought a used Aeron chair (probably surplus from the dot-com crash) a decade and a half ago and, aside from the armrests that my cat tore up, you could still mistake it for brand-new.

Wait, let me make sure y'all understand: the whole back and seat are mesh, yet it's still perfect after decades of daily use. It hasn't even stretched, let alone torn. That's crazy! I don't know what kind of carbon-reinforced alien supermaterial it's made out of, but I assume it's gonna give me cancer or something 'cause that shit ain't natural.

5 years only....? Sorry what? You consider a 5 year old chair to be so terribly old?

Executive Style Chairs > "gamer" plastic fabs * infinite

I swear I had exactly the same chair when I was in college, and it sure did look like this when I finally got rid of it.

I had that exact chair for years lol. The poor thing finally got put to rest

I've had the same one for 12 years and it has been through some serious shit lol

If the material is worn down, just buy a fabric chair cover, problem solved
