The Steelcase Leap and Herman Miller Aeron are known for being the most durable and high quality. They're extremely expensive new, but you can often find them used on Craigslist for a steal. Alternatively, Crandall Office Furniture sells refurbished Steelcase chairs, though even those can be pretty expensive (around $400 for a Steel case leap V1, and I think $500 for a leap V2 with upgraded seat cushion, which is actually far superior to the original)

For a more affordable new option, I was really impressed with the Colamy Neza chair, which I picked up for my mother a few months ago after many hours of research. It seems to have surprisingly solid build quality, and a particularly good quality seat foam that doesn't flatten out, while not being hard feeling.

I bought a refurbished Leap years ago and have been very happy with it. The arm cushions disintegrated after a few years but aftermarket covers solved that. Rest of the chair has been solid. I’ll probably be using it for another decade or two unless the hydraulics die.
