I prefer a wooden chair to an office chair, because it's so rigid. I had a one of those fancy $2000 office chairs and I would always lock it so you couldn't lean back. But even locked it would have a little bit of give to it.
Here's where it gets weirder though. I used to have padding on my chair. And it was the the kind of shitty strap on padding that would slide around, and after it did, my leg would reliably fall asleep. One day I got tired of it sliding around and just removed it. My leg never falls asleep anymore.
Only complaint is that leg reinforcement has an II shape instead of H, so there is a little bit of sideways instability.
