How much should I spend on a good accent chair?

Across the reviewers we read, the sweet spot for a non-heirloom accent chair sits between roughly $100 and $300. Below $100, verified-purchase reviewers frequently flag wobbly legs and thin fabric; above $300, Reddit threads in r/interiordecorating and r/HomeDecorating suggest you're paying for brand (West Elm, Article) rather than measurably better construction at this tier.
