Good Chair?

I need a new chair, preferred budget would be ~150 usd. This chair looked cool https://www.amazon.com/GTracing-Ergonomic-Backrest-Adjustment-MassageTilt/dp/B01N7I2U5F/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1515867119&sr=8-1&keywords=gtracing&th=1

but I don't know if its going to get worse in say half a year, I don't need the "gamer" look either (would be cool but I figure theres a chance that they won't last too long)

Time for my obligatory "go to a local Staples and sit in a bunch, then buy the one you like". IMO those "gaming" chairs are only good if you pay $500+, otherwise they're uncomfortable and badly built.

I'm probably going to do that anyways, but do you think the Staples Hyken is a good option?

As a owner of a maxnomic gaming chair, I wouldn't buy such a thing again. Not that I'm unhappy, but a much cheaper half-decent office chair feels more comfortable for me. For less than 200$, I would recommend this ikea chair:

It's pretty popular, has mostly good reviews and features an adjustable lumbar support.

How about a used steelcase leap for 170?

I'm not sure. If you like the way it feels, go for that one.
