How long should a premium ergonomic chair last?

A premium commercial ergonomic chair from a reputable manufacturer should last 10–15 years with proper maintenance — the mechanism, base, and mesh or upholstery are all built and warranted to that standard. The gas cylinder is typically the first part to need replacement, usually at 7–10 years ($20–$40 to replace). Casters wear out in 5–7 years depending on floor type and are inexpensive to replace. Avoid premium chairs from brands that don't offer replacement parts — longevity depends on parts availability.
