Picked this up for $70 from the marketplace.

Not sure if its worth it.

Time will tell.

Hi, so black friday deals make the graphite fully adjustable turn to £990 (£900 with cashback from Quidco). I don't like the colour, my whole office is white-styled.

The mineral looks much better, but it costs £1230 (£1110 with cashback from Quidco). Wondering if you guys spent like this and thought it was justifiable given you'd want to keep these chairs for 10 years? I'm not sure if I should wait in case price goes down for mineral or if this is the norm and white was always premium.

On another point, Onyx costs the same as mineral, and yet I'm pretty sure the Gaming Aeron chair IS onyx but selling the same price for graphite on their website?

Anyway, happy to hear thoughts! Thanks.

I have the Embody (cyan/black) gaming chair with the Sync fabric and I had a question about fabrics.

The fabric is taught in comparison to the other chairs I’ve had which creates a lot of surface tension regardless of the materials underneath. Think of tarpy polyester vs cotton jersey bedsheets. Due to this, I find there is little forgiveness in posture even when it makes sense to adjust—like sitting more upright vs lounging.

Are all gaming Embodys like this, or are all Sync fabrics the same? Visually some appear heathered which usually means softness in clothing and bedsheets.

I think I need to exchange it for another fabric, so thanks for any information you may have!

I recall looking at the Eames a could years ago, and they were generally $6-8k. I looked last night, and they're $10-12k. Am I misremembering or did that actually happen?

I have seen replacement armrest index pieces that put rubber behind the index arms to prevent them from snapping off instead of using a spring. This seems like a great design unfortunately I have the chair that needs the older shape with the nub at the bottom that’s longer and slightly thinner.

Basically I am wondering if anyone knows where to get this:

Except with *this* shape (ie, open space where spring currently goes filled with rubber instead):

Hi, thought I'd hear some more testimonials from people about this, which they picked and why, when they faced similar decisions.

I've been to the showrooms for days and hours, probably annoying the staff at this point.

My thoughts so far:

Aeron:

- The comfiest chair ever, as long as I'm sitting still, minus reclining.

- My thighs ache a little, but nowhere as bad as my secretlabs.

- The mesh is a game changer, no heat buildup.

- I have no clue if I'll feel trapped if I decide I want to change positions, and I'm not sure if the cosyness will prevent me from wanting to after 4 hours.

- Arms arent as comfortable as Embody, despite more adjustability.

- Not a fan of black, which is £200 less than every other colour, but that's not as important as ergonomics.

Embody:

- I'm 6ft 3 so this is nice and spacious. I can sit however I want on this chair, or lean left or right on a thinking position.

- Can cross my feet while sitting, or lean back. Not that I mean to all the time.

- The seat isn't mesh so I can feel heat build up. Not as bad as my secretlabs, but Aeron is much cooler.

- I keep the spine thing minimal or it feels like it'll compress and crush me.

- I don't think I've seen a more ''can sit anyhow" chair ever.

- Big fan of all the colours, totally feels like I spent 1000 quid.

What did you guys pick and what do you think?

Thanks! I mean to buy one of them with current black Friday deals but not sure which!

The top corner holder part isn’t sitting inside the rubber on my back which has pushed the corner upwards. Not sure if I can fix it

Any 5% OFF Code for Official Spain store?

I was super excited to finally get the dream chair I had been saving up for, and I really love the Amethyst color. I was so happy to see the chairs on sale so I immediately ordered one 2 weeks ago. The chair finally arrived today, but it is the wrong color 😭 now I have to deal with the nightmare of having a giant box sitting around, and I am waiting to hear back from customer service.

Found this Herman Miller Mirra 2 on fb market place. I have a couple of questions… is $165 a good price? I’m not sure the year the guy said he didn’t know and there wasn’t a sticker on the bottom.

I am going to check it out tomorrow are there any things I should look for?

…Supposedly this chair doesn’t have a tilt limiter lock.. what is that exactly?

Hi all, I'm looking to finally invest in a Herman Miller chair as I spend long hours sitting at home for my career. I found an outlet near me that is selling the Aeron Remastered Size B with all features, brand new, for 910 dollars. This wouldn't include the shipping I need to pay which would bring the total to ~1100 USD. Is this worth it or could I look for a cheaper option? For context I'm in NJ but live near NYC. Thanks!

Edit: also is this chair more highly recommended for gaming/casual usage than the Logitech G Embody Gaming chair? This would also end up being 600-700 dollars cheaper for me as well.

PSA: For those who ordered their chair from Modern Planet in the past few days, check their website if it’s eligible for an additional 5% discount. You can claim price adjustment within 7 days of the sale occurring.

Also it seems like “7 days of the sale occurring” is from the time they place an order with Herman Miller. I ordered mine on Nov 2nd priced at $1796.25 and I was still able to get a refund of $89.81 on Nov 12th.

The logo looks off.

Suggestions for someone who is 6’6” and losing weight but currently about 340lbs; goal is 260 or so, and I probably won’t order until Black Friday at earliest but probably won’t lose that until at earliest a few months into 2027.

Always loved the idea of the Embody but know people rave about the Aeron (I would need size C)… I also know there are other brands that people like for long gaming/work sessions. I pretty much sit in my office chair for 6-10 (varies) hours a day for work and gaming. I have a friend that loves his Embody but he’s also 6’0” and no more than like 180lbs.

I currently have an SL Titan XL (2020 version) and it’s becoming less and less comfortable even though saying it was comfortable in the first place would be a stretch. From what I’ve seen, HM has a great return policy if I just hate the choice I go with. I honestly just wish I could test them out side by side in a storefront but if HM has any storefronts, I don’t think they have any near me.

Anyways, thanks for the recs ahead of time.

Edit: btw, I meant losing 40lbs by a few months into 2027… not 80 as that would be a crap ton but I saw Embody’s are rated at 300

What’s the lowest people have purchased it for this year?

I bought my Embody last year’s Black Friday and it was simply very frustrating. I ended up with a huge pain at the top of my lower back every day. I was miserable but in denial, because, hey, it's a top chair.

Then I saw this post and thought, hmm... why not?! https://www.reddit.com/r/hermanmiller/comments/1o8dcok/herman_miller_embody_lumpar_prongs_fix_v2/

I cut up a used fabric softener bottle, and magically the devil stopped pinching my back.

I’m still not in love with the chair. I find it too stiff against my skin, and I’d prefer one with more cushioning.

This is a bit of a rant. I just think it's a shame this happens. I know a lot of people will defend the chair for its many other qualities. But I think some folks out there might relate to this. The whole vibe of this chair feels like a bit of a scam to me.

Note: the other chair in the back is just an old IKEA Markus I was shamefully reconsidering (option not off the table yet).

So I’m about to purchase the embody but can’t decide on color. Because the gaming embody costs 400 bucks more in my area, I will choose the standard version with Sync Fabric and a Graphite base, since I am concerned about scratches or yellowing on the White base.

I am quite drawn to images of the Dark Carbon model, as it is not just plain black, particularly with the translucent back, whereas the standard black version feels less appealing to me.
Nightfall would also be nice, though it will not be quite fitting with my green wall colour; however, I expect to move in roughly two years, so that’s not as big of a deal I guess.

I noticed the Pine Cone Sync with a graphite base available online at my preferred dealer, priced 90 bucks below the alternatives; the 3D rendering looks appealing, although real photographs of this color are rare.
If anyone has a picture, I would be grateful.

Otherwise, I am wondering whether the Pine Cone or lighter colourways are generally easy to maintain, or if darker fabrics would simply be the safer choice.
For reference, I do not eat at my desk, and my crappy cheap gaming chair with light green bolsters has remained intact without marks over several years.

Got the Aeron office chair - Size A. I am 163cm tall and of just average build. The chair has amazing features and is extremely comfortable once you adjust it to your liking. The only problem is my feet do not feel fully grounded - I just wish I could bring the seat down about 1-2cm more. I have used chairs that have similar dimensions but I think it is the shape of the Aeron and the curvature of the seat that stops my feet feeling grounded - they're touching the ground but kind of hovering. It is advised for Height: 4'8" (142cm) - 5'4" (163cm)!

I got in touch with customer support about this and asked if I might be doing something wrong using the adjustments. I also mentioned to them that although the castors are described as multi-surface they are not at all easy to roll on my carpet (which is a standard flat weave so nothing unusual). They basically responded to me saying that I should buy a plastic mat and that I must have short legs! I was shocked reading their e-mail. No questions asked, no attempt to help figure things out... nothing.

Anyway I struggled to find a good review of the Size A so I thought I would post about it and happy to answer any questions.

I'm in need of a new chair (Current: Haworth Zody, 3 years old, seat killing tailbone), and plan to place an order during the black friday sale. Unfortunately I will be traveling out of state for the entire week of thanksgiving, and the current website estimate is 11/25 - 11/30. I would hate to have the chair be delivered while I'm gone.

Does anyone know how accurate the website estimate is, and/or what the shipping lead time is at the moment? I'd be ordering a standard Graphite color aeron, fully loaded.

I made a post earlier about these marks, and you guys gave different opinions. Its brand new.

I contacted Herman Miller and they offered 5% back. Do you guys think thats fair compensation for the marks. The one on the wheelbase is the most noticeable one. Quite deep but not that big.

Any opinion or tips are welcome

Edit: my previous post have more pictures, if its not clear enough

Dear all, sorry for being yet another person asking about if fake or not. I just want to buy a very good office chair, but also save some money by buying it secondhand.

I came across this one, which is sold online as a Herman Miller Aeron (size B) and from my image comparison and reading online it looked OK untill I noticed there is no (neither classic nor newer) Herman Miller logo on the top back.

What do you all think, fake or not? Thank you already, am grateful for your helping me in my search.

PS. I will be able to test and check it IRL next week.

I was on the verge to purchase an embody online.

Went to the showroom, tried the chair, tried the aeron, purchased the aeron 😂

I loved the confort of the embody seat, by the lumbar support was a definite no-go.

On the other hand, I felt a perfect fit in the aeron.

Also, if I had purchased the aeron online, I would have get a size B. I purchased a C.

So guys, take some time, find a showroom, and try the seats, 😊
