expired Herman Miller Aeron $990 at Living Edge until End Jan 2013
This was posted 4 months 24 days ago, and might be an out-dated deal
Similar to last year's offer: http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/61634
I believe that the regular price is still around $1.4k, so while $990 may be a little expensive for a computer chair, it's a good discount. And it comes with 12 years warranty, that's a lot of comfortable OzBargain computer time :)
There are different specs and options for the Aeron, and tension on Whirlpool confirmed that this price was for full spec with standard base: http://whrl.pl/Rdqb1Y
Looking forward to go try it out!

+2 votesMy previous company forked out for 1000 of these chairs in their head office. I would usually not even consider a $990 chair but after having one for 5 years, I can vouch for the fact they are very impressive. Now, can I talk my new company in buying me one for work?

I happened to luck out and find about 50 brand new Life Chairs at a liquidation auction, where they went for ~$200 each — I didn't buy all of them, but the few I bought still saved me a few grand!
Just another option out there for people looking for a quality office chair which many people regard as at least as good as the Aeron — the Life Chair doesn't have anywhere near the name recogniton of the Aeron, and can be picked up relatively cheaply at auction on occasion (either new or second hand).

Not sure whether it needs it's own deal to be created
Is this the best chair for someone with "lower back" (muscular) problems? If not can someone please recommend other chairs? I spend so much time at my desk I am really suffering from core muscle problems (transverse abdominis), even though I exercise regularly (walk, fit-ball, circuit, cycle). I don't need a fancy chair, or even a comfortable one, just one that won't cause problems with long periods of work at the desk. I guess after many hours my posture just gets very sloppy and that does the damage. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
+1 voteI just bought this in search for a decent alternative to the HM stuff. http://www.milandirect.com.au/office-furniture/ergoflex-spac...
Having not sat in a HM aeron/embody I won't have a reference once I receive the MD one. But it does have what looks like complete adjustable everything. From what I can see though, it doesn't have a mesh seat.
Another alternative with lots of good reviews and cheaper. http://www.milandirect.com.au/office-furniture/office-chairs...

Got the chair, have been using it for a day. My problem is with my lower back. It needs a huge amount of support, esp when I'm arched over and not keep my back straight. The chair help take the weight of my back and it is comfortable.
It actually does have a mesh seat which was a nice surprise, so its pretty comfy. everything is adjustable as I mentioned before except, the lumbar and head rest is like a floating system. It changes angles as your back dictates or head dictates. It doesn't allow you to change the angle in and of itself, but does what your body does. It's comfy, but not having sat on an HM aeron, I don't know how good it is. But the $620 cost incl. shipping is worth it I think.
It's a heavy seat, just like the HM's. Seat move forward/backward, height adjustable backrest and headrest. Of course the entire seat is height adjustable as well.
All in all, very well made - I'd buy another one if I had to.

auBaskerville on 05/01/2013 - 13:42 ¶Can you order over the phone? I'm about 3 hours from Melbourne. Don't really want to travel all that way for a chair I cant even fit in my car.
I believe you would have called them already. In case you didn't get chance, Melbourne store accepts the order over the phone. Next day they will call you for Credit Card Details and you will also get order confirmation email.
In about a week it should be ready for pickup from the store in Richmond.
I also ordered one.
justin_tsoi on 06/01/2013 - 22:48 ¶thanks OP! waited a while for this. FYI no A size left in Sydney.
+3 votesGuys, I have justed purchased an Aeron through Innerspace, Brisbane. They are doing a sale at the moment and the price is $799 plus GST. I think it's worth mentioning in here. They are also availalbe over the weekend which is a huge plus for me.

willhughes on 08/01/2013 - 14:18 ¶(First time OzBargain'er)
Thanks for posting this deal - ordered over the phone, Size C in stock in Sydney and I've been told they can deliver some time this week.
Delivery costs, for anyone that's interested, are a bit high: $120 out to the Ryde area from the Sydney store.
Reindeer831 on 11/01/2013 - 17:34 ¶Wow how did you manage to get postage from QLD to Sydney for that amount?? Their website qouted me $74 to post from their Brisbane store to another Brisbane suburb.
Chris McMahon on 31/01/2013 - 23:04 ¶I just got my Aeron size C from InnerSpace in Brisbane today. $955 all up including delivery to the Gold Coast. Pretty happy with it so far.
Their website quoted ~$98 for delivery, so it pays to ring up, rather than order online.
I believe they are out of size Bs.
lovenoodles on 22/01/2013 - 11:11 ¶Hi all - don't mean to hijack thread so i'll keep it brief. Looking to sell my size B Aeron, brand new, purchased from Living Edge Sydney, full 12 Year Warranty (invoice will be under your name), for $980.
