The rest of the chair is great, the arm rests suck. If you're okay with being bitten a few times a day, it's not that bad otherwise.

Ikea MARKUS it's $200 but has been pretty good to me, the price of a used Aeron is higher. The things is the MARKUS has a 10 year warranty though Ikea and is pretty comfortable and a solid price. I have used both and they are both pretty comfy to me but the Aeron is too much to pay.
I got one nearly brand new for $25 off Craigslist, which I think is a steal for the price. At $200 though, there’s some other competitors that I feel would be better.
What I came to realize after a while of thinking about this is that this is all bikeshedding (at least, it was for my situation). If you have issues of a high severity, it might make sense to invest in a chair to alleviate some symptoms like pain and discomfort. If you have money lying around just waiting to be used, it might make sense to spend it on a cool and nifty Herman Miller or whatever.
But the most important thing, bar none, is you work to have a good posture and physical health thus eliminating the need to be picky about your chairs. If you don't have postural issues, great. If you do, then get working: start with some variant of 5x5 routine, make sure to do good rows with an appropriate amount of weights, and some face pulls with good form.
I know a few in the bay area feel free to DM for info.
Herman Miller Aeron
If you are in a major city you can often find used "high-end" chairs for reasonable price. I'm on a 5-year-old used Aeron I got for $275. Herman Miller has made newer fancier chairs but I'll ride this one for probably a decade before I upgrade.
Used Herman Miller chairs are my favorite answer to this question.
I bought several Steelcase Leap for $75 apiece from a business that was closing. Ugly stains, but unworn fabric and perfect mechanicals.
Try auction sites: Craigslist, OfferUp, Nextdoor.
