UNDER $900 · 7 × 6 FT
Put the budget into chair fit, screen position, and foot support before decorative extras.
The chair receives the largest allocation, while a monitor arm and foot support solve screen and leg position as one system.
Measure seat-height needs, desk underside height, armrest clearance, and at least 36 inches behind the desk.
No chair fits every body. Buy only with acceptable return terms and re-check adjustments during the first week.
