What is the functional difference between an ergonomic task chair and an executive chair?

Ergonomic task chairs prioritize adjustability — more adjustment points, more precise fit, built for all-day work use — while executive chairs emphasize appearance, with high backs, generous padding, and materials like leather that convey authority. Many executive chairs have fixed or limited lumbar, limited seat depth adjustment, and armrests that don't adjust to proper keyboard height. True executive-ergonomic hybrids exist at $700–$1,200+ and offer both the look and the function, but most pure executive chairs below $500 sacrifice ergonomics for aesthetics.
