I found a used Steelcase think. Made in France.
I like the Steelcase Think chair with adjustable lumbar support... I paid around $300 and they properly cleaned it and provided a 5 year warranty. The chair is at least $1000 new.
I bought a used Steelcase Think for less than 20% of the retail price. Used high-end chairs are often in good condition still, and there are plenty of YouTube tutorials on how to repair them easily.
