First time deal poster, looks to be 2,150 for the A, B, and C sizes. Not sure when it runs until and couldn't find anything on the site suggesting when it ends, just states its Limited time only. Can get it delivered and assemble yourself, or get it delivered and assembled for a little extra. Pick up from Sydney warehouse is also an option

Living Edge is one of the few listed dealers of HM chairs in Australia.

Currently sitting in an Aeron and it is pretty comfortable. I would recommend trying it before using it as it's not for everyone.

    Herman Miller chairs are worth the price tag if you sit in front of a computer for 8+hrs a day. I've sat on a cheaper "ergonomic" chairs for 6 years and I would spend that $2k in chiro/physio bills at least every quarter. I learnt that the hard way.

    • garage sale on 28/12/2022 - 10:11

      For this money I wouldn't be buying an Aeron though, as someone who has owned one previously. They're built well but they don't offer the support that other high end office chairs do - mine would give me a sore back after a few hours. For my money I'd go with an Embody or the Steelcase Gesture.

      If you keep an eye on gumtree/grays often you can pick them up for much cheaper. Currently sitting on a Steelcase Think that I bought second hand for $50 because some office closed down and they had 30+ to get rid of.

    • R00D on 28/12/2022 - 11:13

      I hear this from my work colleagues too, none of them exercise regularly. A standing desk will do a lot more for people than the difference this chair will do compared to another quality chair for 1/4 the price.

    • John Doh on 28/12/2022 - 11:57

          You cant buy them legally unfortunately. Am not saying the chair is a bad investment, but you shouldnt wait till you reach phsiotherapy as much as possible. Until its your last resort.

          • R00D on 28/12/2022 - 12:21

            @John Doh: Not today unfortunately. Society has been set up to allow people an 'out' via some form of paid remedy or service. Exercise and hard work is the last resort.

            Now, where's that fat pill at?

    • boomramada on 28/12/2022 - 13:40

      Definitely worth for office, tax deductable, fully adjustable for most body shapes and comes with service plan. For single use at home, sure if you have $$$ or just buy a chair that fits you.

      I have been using them for years at work but I wouldn't pay more than $500 for personal use.

      Some ppl in Ozb should be good at marketing.

      If you in Syd, DEAL for you :

    I bought a second-hand aeron a few years ago

    It's the cream of the crop end-game chair, but note this is NOT a chair to lounge around on, because of the hard plastic around the mesh, you are forced into an upright position.

    If you enjoy watching movies off your PC and like to lay back and have a leg crossed etc, this will not be comfortable,

    I'd say second-hand at around $750-800 it's probably worth, at 2k, not sure

    • eli8te on 28/12/2022 - 10:13

      This is 2k for a Brand New one, not second hand though

        Apologies, I wasn't clear,

        Second-hand at 750-800 in good condition?
        Worth.

        Brand-new at $2150?
        Not sure if worth.

    • Sammyboy on 28/12/2022 - 10:25
      +2

      I would agree. If you can get one 2nd hand esp ex office as they are pretty much new for sub 700 then it's worth a try. These things are made to last so the mesh should be in great condition. The adjustable foam lumbar cushion can wear out though.

      The Leap at full price is still $1000 less and offers much more adjustability and imo more comfortable. I had both. Sold off the Aeron.

    • bargaino on 28/12/2022 - 12:21

      Sounds like we're Closer To The Edge. But I'm not saaaying, I'm sorry (for buying it - back then).

        What has changed to make them worth twice the price?

        The exchange rate hasn't helped, then there's oil and shipping prices. There's increased demand too. Global pandemics don't help.

        +1

        What has changed to make them worth twice the price?

        A lot of people work from home now and they understandably want to splurge on a good office chair.

        You can also claim the cost of the chair in your tax return so people don't really care how much the chair costs.

      Inflation is real.

      • truongtran on 28/12/2022 - 13:48

        I was a bit reluctant when the price was about $1.2K then didn't pull the trigger when it was at this price. I ended up paying $1849 for it.

    Wow, can’t believe the Aaron Miller is now over $2k “on special”! I bought mine from Living Edge quite a few years ago when they were going for $1150!

    Solidly built chair but to be honest I never found it particularly THAT comfortable. It’s great in summer as the mesh allows your back and butt to ventilate but the plactic edges can dig into your thighs a bit and be uncomfortable

    • brotherfranciz on 28/12/2022 - 14:00

  • jaygee on 28/12/2022 - 10:27

    Haworth and Steelcase (both American large furniture companies) sell their chairs for half this. This is NOT worth it and they've jacked 3 their pricing up hugely in the last few years, you are now paying purely for the brand.

    Look at the Fern chair as an alternative perhaps at half the price from OW with a 12 year warranty and arguably a more comfy back. 2nd hand Leap and Zody's also exist below $800. This chair is NOT 2-3x better.

    Human Scale is also an alternative.

        The fact you think HM is only American made is an utter egg on your face. Did you know they also manufacture in India?

          As far as I knew all aeron’s were made in the US, wasn’t aware they were now made in China too.

          Whilst China excels in most areas of manufacturing and is the world leader in some, I don’t believe high end furniture to be one of these just yet.

    • Flintz on 28/12/2022 - 13:08

      Countless discussions on Aeron vs Leap. I do agree Aeron is overpriced but if you have back problems, get the chair that will solve it regardless of price

      • jaygee on 28/12/2022 - 13:14
        +1

        I have the Fern, prefer that - though I know others will disagree. I've used the Aeron previously and while it was fine, the plastic edges always felt like they were cutting into me, no matter how I adjusted myself. I got the version without adjustable lumbar as the lumbar I felt was too aggresive for the Fern.

    Never buy a chair without trying it first. After trying, I prefer Soji over Zodi - which is more expensive.

  • ChopSticks on 28/12/2022 - 12:02

    YES!
    It’s it’s an expensive chair, but I have no regrets spending that much on just a ‘chair’.

    Sure there’s similar for half the price (steelcase, Hayworth, betacure, eurotech etc).
    But I’ve had spinal surgery and will not take anything less. Team this with an atlas headrest and it’s pretty darn impressive combo.

    Keep in mind those that bought this for $1000~ would’ve been for the older ‘classic’ model, this price is for the new ‘remastered’ version.

    I do recommend sizing up if you are in between sizes, or go into the showroom if possible.

  • qwerty40777 on 28/12/2022 - 12:05

    Posted this in a different deal last week but this chair can be had for under $2k + postage:

    FWIW the Aeron can still be purchased for $2k + postage if anyone is interested. Which is almost 25% off the RRP

  • ne-us on 28/12/2022 - 12:06

    Aeron? For $2k I’m disappointed they didn’t name it “the Hermanator”…

  • Osiris on 28/12/2022 - 16:03

    While I hear they are great chairs this particular deal is on narrow selection of an already excessively priced product. If it is suitable to downvote other products for being expensive even when there is a discount then it seems a fair use here.

  • BJReplay on 29/12/2022 - 14:49

    I'm sitting on my 10 year old Herman Miller Aeron that I got for $1150 so that is a big increase over a decade. It's done a lot more hours than planned when I bought it with WFH over the last couple of years, but is still in great nick.

    If you know this chair suits your body style and sitting style, it can last you 15+ years. But $2150 is seriously expensive.

    • gotcha on 26/01/2023 - 23:19
