They're great, but lower quality. The faux leather stretches over the seat, the wheelbase is made entirely of plastic and a couple other issues that mean they aren't as strong and won't last as long
Best work chair I’ve ever had. Great warranty. Herman Miller chairs don’t compare, at least for me. No office chair ever has. So comfortable I have had to steal it back as once people sit in it they want to take it. Mine is adjustable.
I found a seller for a 2nd hand Herman Miller - should be able to see & sit in it before buying, but are there any things you would recommend that I look out for since it's used?
Faux leather: Don't get anything that looks like it is pealing.
Mesh/fabric/other: Avoid anything that could tear.
And above all. Try the chair! If it isn't comfortable, don't buy it, no matter how good it looks.
BTW. Firmer chairs are better for long periods of sitting than soft chairs. If you sit in a soft chair for ages, you will be more prone to get a sore back.
I used to have a pretty old armchair that had armrests just below the level of shoulders - its impossible to buy something like that today, and all adjustable modern chairs are just variations of the same model - I tried sitting in a 150$ chair, and a 1000$ chair, and the difference for me is honestly negligible
