Yeah, that's the thing about a $150 chair from BigBoxCo vs a close-to-$1k-new chair. The expensive one will always be comfortable, but the cheap one never will. You can get parts to keep the expensive one in top condition, but the cheap one require replacement every couple of years. You can get a used nice one for about 2x the cost of a new cheapie and it'll probably last 4x as long before needing anything replaced, and it'll be more comfortable and much nicer the entire time.
