What chair would you get if it only has to last a year?

Hi! I have a one year fellowship 3,000 miles away, and I won't be able to take my beloved Branch chair. I need to find the best value chair out there because I am on a serious budget. If you knew that a chair only had to last a year, which one would you get keeping price and ergonomics in mind?

I feel like some budget chairs are actually pretty decent, and the issue is just longevity. I'm going to be working from home, and a comfortable chair is a priority, so if I need to spend a lot of money I will. But I thought I would come to the experts first. Thank you so much for your help!
