Desk chair recommendation

[medicineisforme]

I'm looking for a desk chair that fits within the following criteria.

- comfortable
- gives decent back support
- under $250 max
- pref no arms like a reg office chair has
- not dog ugly (office style) because will be in a bedroom and prefer something a little more aesthetically pleasing

Thanks!

Just bought one. Really hoping it's worth it because my butt-ocks are killing me

Why avoid the herman millers? Those are some of the most comfortable chairs I have sat in

I am not sure about the others, but the aeron in particular is not very comfortable or ergonomic.

I'd prefer not running around everywhere trying out chairs cuz of covid and the staples type stores only have like "real" office chairs - I'd like something slightly more aesthetically pleasing than that.
I have a reg desk and need a comfortable chair that I can use for it since this fall I'm going to be doing college from home

I bought the Staples Hyken before step 1 dedicated and it was worth every penny. I think I got it on sale for $179. Full price, it’s $229. It’s as comfortable as any $500+ executive chair I’ve used.

Aesthetically pleasing , comfy ,sub 250. Pick two.

A lot of people swear by the IKEA Markus. It’s $200, comfy, and not as ugly as most office chairs. If you want something more aesthetically pleasing you’ll probably have to sacrifice comfort, but they have some nice chairs on Wayfair

I think what's getting to me mostly is the very high back chairs (don't want it too short though) and the wheels. Both of these transform my room from a nice relaxing bedroom to a cramped cluttered mess with no space. I already have a lot of furniture for the size of my room and adding a full sized office chair will most definitely not help things.
Sorry I know I'm being impossible here :/

Or maybe something in a lighter color would help.
