Date: March 22nd, 2023 5:10 PM Author: cracking jet-lagged lettuce heaven ive seen this all over the internet, but this approach does not seem CR.
the whole draw of herman miller aeron is the longevity - its supposed to last many decades. so buying new actually seems credited because you have the warranty and you know its not a lemon or replaced with shitty parts/the prior classic version. |

Date: March 22nd, 2023 5:17 PM Author: fuchsia multi-billionaire i was still able to inspect the chair when i got it. but if youre willing to shell out that amount of money go for it. ive had my used aeron for over 5 years now and have had zero issues with it. replacement parts are easy to find if the need arises
i had a hard time justifying dropping $1800 on an office chair. and the $200 Office Depot chairs I was getting were falling apart every 2 years. |

Date: March 22nd, 2023 5:27 PM Author: cracking jet-lagged lettuce heaven ive done a deep dive into office chairs, and the best two brands it seems are herman miller and steelcase. i went to several office wholesalers in my city and looked at/sat in the top 3 chairs from each brand. ime steelcase is crap. the quality is terrible and theyre not very cheap. i did like the leap v2 but the fabric on the chair i sat on was already coming off, would not pay over 500 for that.
i think herman miller chairs are pretty credited, the quality is night and day vs steelcase. ive only sat in the aeron and the embody, which are their top 2 chairs. basically the chairs are built around two different philosophies - the aeron locks your back in to an ideal posture, and although you can adjust your tilt and angle, you cant move your upper or lower back much, but thats by design. its built for computer work, as its a "task chair"
the embody is also a 180 chair, it lacks the lower lumbar support of the aeron but it has an amazing feeling on your mid and upper back - it basically fits like a glove and has a pixelated fit and bends should you want to move your upper body and shoulders around it provides ideal support for any position. aesthetically it is a beautiful chair. https://www.hermanmiller.com/content/dam/hmicom/page_assets/products/embody_chairs/uw_prd_ovw_embody_chairs_01.jpg.rendition.480.480.jpg
i am leaning towards the aeron because it has better lower back support. it will also hold up better long term imo. apparently they last 3-4 decades.
herman miller is having one of their bi-annual sales in the next few weeks, i plan to cop the aeron for 15-20% off. you can always return in 30 days if you dont like it. |

Date: March 22nd, 2023 5:39 PM Author: Orange codepig mental disorder If you want a less common model that office surplus sellers don’t have (pretty much anything but aeron) you can get like 40% off of anything if you order through one of their distributors/partners. You may need to pretend to be a business and there are no returns
I have the cosm and it’s 180. Full mesh is so cr during the summer |

How much of a fat piece of shit do you have to be for an office chair to matter to you. Had Herman Millers for years when in BIGLAW and some shitty Office Depot one at home office now and there is like zero noticeable difference |

Aeron is great if you're in a hot climate but it's horrible for lounging or manspreading.
I upgraded to roller blade wheel castors at the same time which I should have done years ago. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GGKKDZP/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

(I'm assumign here you mean stuff actually designed by him, not sold by his company—like the Eames chair is 180 but not desgined by Miller) |

Date: March 23rd, 2023 6:51 PM Author: Iridescent puppy Bitch we mean the Aeron, which was made famous by people who were sitting in them daily. No one thinks they are bad chairs. I've owned a bunch of office chairs and the Aeron is the only one that has never made me think about it or even notice it's there. It's comfy and not too big. The armrests move just enough if any direction. Your ass doesn't get tired or sore. It's durable and rugged. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5311189&forum_id=2#46089174) |
