All of the office chairs that are made in the modern era are put together in a hurry and made as cheaply as possible. They are throw-away chairs, they expect you to go buy another one after you wear it out in a year. Most things these days are either planned obsolescence or made cheap, they know Americans are consumers, they buy new instead of fixing old. Just stick a pillow behind your back on the chair when it leans back too much.

A year is about right. That's almost exactly right.

ive had the same puter chair for liek 12-13 years. it's plush microfiber and is wide and deep enough that i can shift around comfortably, but still utilize the armrests if needed, which incidentally do not interested with my desk. i can put my feet up on it, sit indian style or liek sideways seiza or just lean back with my head against it which is comforting on its own ^^;

If you don't want to spend a lot of dough then get an IKEA Markus. They're only $200 and are the best chairs you can get without paying like $900. However, I would agree with others that spending that much for a Herman Miller or Steelcase is actually worth it if you can afford them.
