NEO CHAIR Office Swivel Desk Ergonomic Chair
This simple swivel seat is perfect for blending into home offices or bedrooms without overpowering your space. It's an inexpensive budget buy, but fortunately, it's so comfy you'd never even know.
The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 3,308 ratings
WFH Pros say: "I ordered this chair after searching for a budget-friendly, aesthetically pleasing, and supportive desk chair. This chair appears to be made from quality materials and while it does have a plastic base, it doesn't feel cheap. The seat is firm and comfortable. I put this chair together by myself in around 20 minutes."

Homall Gaming Chair
Cheap gaming chairs with good reviews are hard to come by — this top-rated seat from Amazon checks off all the boxes of a stylish, supportive racing chair without the usual big-time price tag.
The Hype: 4.4 out of 5 stars and 50,389 ratings
WFH Pros say: " It's pretty awesome for the price in my opinion. I enjoyed how easy it was to put it together and how comfortable it was. Total build time was about 30ish minutes, it was simple enough and everything you need is included.
Solid frame, fairly minimal padding (some brands offer more padding, but also offer to take more of your money). If you're looking to save some cash, and want something that is comfortable and quality, this chair is doing fine by me."

Kelly Clarkson Home Rochelle Task Chair
This royal blue task chair from Kelly Clarkson's much-loved home collection will add depth to your home office and help correct your posture.
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 1,753 reviews
WFH Pros Say: "I desperately needed to update my work from home space and this chair is doing the trick! It’s comfortable and looks classy. I ordered the green one, and it’s even more vibrant in person. Super easy to put together and the wheels roll easily even on the carpet! The bottom cushion could be a tad more comfortable but this is still a huge improvement from the dining chair I was using previously."

Wade Logan Carvey Task Chair
Wade Logan's eye-catching velvet task chair is the perfect combo of glam design and practical comfort.
The Hype: 4.5 out 5 stars and 4,858 reviews
WFH Pros Say: "This chair is perfect for the price. We needed an interim office so I didn’t want to spend a ton on furniture. This chair looks good and it’s comfortable. I also like that it raises up and down. I needed one that had the height to work with the console I purchased to use as a writing desk. I recommend it if you’re looking for an on-trend piece that’s comfortable and you only need it to last you a few years."

Staples Essentials Mesh Back Fabric Task Chair
This mesh back task chair is exactly what it says: essential. Bring a comfy vibe into your home office with this not too flashy, not too shabby chair that you'll look forward to sitting in all day.
The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 1,430 reviews
WFH Pros Say: "After buying two other chairs and finding them very uncomfortable, I was happy to find this one in the store. It felt good so I got it, and after two weeks I'm very happy with it. It has the best back support of the three, and the seat is firm, which I find very comfortable, too. The other two chairs were high back, and my daughter uses one and my husband the other, for school and work from home. They both like them very much, so we're all happy."

Yaheetech Adjustable PU Leather Office Chair
Smooth 360-degree swivel, comfortable backrest, and gas lift adjustments are only a few of this chair's dazzling features. We also love its simple and sleek tufted design.
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 4,397 reviews
WFH Pros Say: "I love the look and feel of this chair! I read all of the reviews about it only being for tiny people, which made me hesitate to purchase it right away. But I'm glad I took the risk and bought it. Yes, it's compact. I'm only 5'3, but I weigh 177 lbs, which means I have hips and an ample derrière, and I don't have any trouble at all fitting comfortably in it. (If you weigh more than 200 lbs, you'll probably want to look at a more standard-sized chair.)"

Millwood Pines Electra Task Chair
Wayfair describes this chair as a "classy companion for the office," and we agree. Both the white and bronze colorways give off a luxe feel without the luxe price tag and according to reviewers, this design was made for crossed-legs.
The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars and 309 reviews
WFH Pros Say: "Arrived in time, was easy to assemble. I decided to go with this chair based on the recommendation of another reviewer who sits cross-legged while working (I am the same!) and it works perfectly for that. Lots more control over posture without armrests and all that. Comfortable, adjustable height. If more cushions are needed I can definitely get a pillow for the seat, but I like a more firm chair."

Staples Traymore Luxura Manager's Chair
If you miss the professional flare that comes with an office headquarters, then take a look at this totally sophisticated manager's chair from Staples. With over one thousand reviews and 4.5 out of 5 stars, we think the ratings can speak for themselves.
The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars and 1,216 reviews
WFH Pros Say: "This chair was one of the lower-cost models I tried but checked every box. It’s not too big so doesn’t dominate the living room where I work. The armrests are adjustable which is helpful for shorter people. It has nice upper back support and good padding all over. I also like the soft grey color. A chair mat so I could roll on the carpet made this chair perfect."
