Over a thousand, actually, it was closer to €1,500 - but remember, this chair was custom made to order. Anyway, I ordered an executive version of their 'Moteo' chair, I wanted arm rests, castors, leather on the seating (and arm rests), lumbar ergonomic support, and the chair can be raised or lowered, as needed, etc.
Bear in mind that a lot of office style chairs are surprisingly badly designed - and even more surprisingly uncomfortable, and that horrid mesh, or other uncomfortable materials used in the seating is sometimes at variance with the quoted cost.
Now, I write a lot, research a lot, and spend hours in my chair at my desk, and I was tired of using horrid ill fitting and uncomfortable office chairs, or kitchen chairs.
An additional piece of advice: I would recommend that you visit office show rooms, even upmarket office show rooms. See what they have, ask for brochures, try out the chairs - I mean, sit in them - ask questions of representatives, and so on.
Anyway, Klöber was recommended to me by my German sister-in-law; she and my brother had bought versions of standard Klöber office chairs for their kitchen, - at the kitchen table - and found them superb, as they give excellent lumbar support (which most kitchen chairs do not).
Then, when I returned from a period working abroad, I had decided that a really good office chair - for myself - was a priority purchase, especially as it was likely that I could expect to be home for a while. As with almost everything designed by Germans, it is very well made, well designed, looks good, and does what it supposed to do very well.

Oooh, one pillow.
The is something that I physically just cannot do; even as a child, I needed two.
