Your budget does not support a BIFL chair unless you find one used. Full stop. BIFL chairs start at $1000 and there is not such animal as a strong back chair...that's not a thing. Steelcase, Herman Miller and Human Scale are brands to search for as craigslist and other person to person sources are out there as are online used office supply stores.

And "with mesh" has many meanings. Mesh back are easy. Mesh bottom....you need to try those out as they have a different feel and are much harder to find.

By a strong back chair I mean I am trying to find if anyone here has a similar habbit to mine and seeing if they have found a chair that can hold up. I am mostly talking about breathability in a general sense with the mesh.

Strong back is not a thing in chair. You may think it is, but its not.

Again....mesh.....seat or back or both?

I've been rocking a "global malaga" for the past 20 years. Other than replacing the padded arms once this chair is still awesome.

It's not a mesh back but thus is the most comfortable office chair I've ever bought.

Assuming the quality hasn't slipped its a steal at $800.
