We're board/TTRPG gamers who like to host dinner parties, so we spend a lot of time sitting around our dining table, and we're finding that although our IKEA chairs seem sturdy, they are not easy on the body. I'm hoping this community can help me find replacements.

For material they need to be leather or microsuede, no fabric, because we have (asshole) cats. They must also be upholstered and have good give in the cushions. Preferably with steel frames that flex, so there is a bit of bounciness to the chair. (I'd love lumbar support too, but I realize that is probably not happening.)

I found one so far that fits the criteria, but seriously, $1000 for one chair? I am willing to spend the money to get quality, but $10K for all my guests to sit down is not feasible for me.

Any suggestions?

I’m looking for a cheap set of chairs and an new office chair my girlfriend could comfortably sit on without having to worry about damaging them. I’ve been looking but I’ve struggled to find good options, ideally they’d also have a wider seat pan and they’d have to have removable armrests too. I like IKEAs stuff and it’s typically cheap but if you think I’d do better with a different brand I’m open to that as well
