VIPBF

The chair is listed for $2,385 but a 20% discount applicable by chatting through live chat.
The agent said that it is a Black Friday discount but it is not advertised on their website.

Update: The discount code is VIPBF (thanks to user lordrupertliverpool)

I wanted one of these chairs as I have been working and studying from home over the past 10 months and I'm starting to get bad lower back pain.

I have been keeping my eye on the second hand Herman Miller market but they don't come up often in SA and the prices are absolutely ridiculous. e.g. Someone wanting $2100 for a 3 year old chair, someone wanting $900 for a 18 year old chair, someone wanting $500 for a broken chair where the levers and adjustments don't work. I have seen a few Sahls come up for $500 but I really wanted the Mirra or Aeron as they are specifically recommended for their lower back support, which is what I need.

If you are purchasing yours for work / working from home it would be worth chatting to your boss to see if they would be willing to trat it as a fringe benefit. As mine is for work and study, it is Fringe Benefits Tax exempt, so my boss was happy to buy it for me as a fringe benefit meaning she can claim back the GST and pass that discount onto me, as well as me being able to pay for it with my pre tax income, so it basically brings the cost down to $1,988 - 180.72 GST = $1,807.28 - 32.5% (tax) = $1,219.91 post tax equivalent. The benefit of doing it as a fringe benefit would be that you can claim back the GST and you get the tax saving benefit immediately compared to buying it and claiming it as a tax deduction which will need to be depreciated over its useful life instead of getting the whole benefit in the year of purchase.

I didnt ask if the 20% off promotion was only for the Aeron but I would guess that it could be across their whole range.

This is part of Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals for 2024

      But that is literally inflation. Everything has gone up and this chair is a perfect example where it's like yeah it's just a chair how coukd the cost have gone up so much. But a chair, especially one like this has so many inputs and shipping costs and all costs have gone up.

        If we assumed inflation was a flat 8% (the highest quarterly CPI over the last 4 years) and we applied this from 2020 to 2024 (using some smooth-brained maths):

        $1500 * 1.08^4 = $2040

        Obviously inflation hasn't been that high all throughout the period and there's other factors to consider, but at the end of the day my comment is just a piss take on how ridiculous the RRP has become.

          You also need to account for the strength of the Aussie dollar, given Herman Miller is a US company. The AUD is worth a fair bit less than it was 4 years ago, and as a result we're seeing higher prices on every US product sold here.

            @creesy: They are not the same thing, you compared a new one with a "no warranty sale" item.

            • creesy on 19/11/2024 - 20:25

              @blueboy410: I got a 12 year manufacturer warranty with my Aeron so im not sure what you mean…

              Chances are i wont need it though because these things are bullet proof if looked after.

              My HM Aeron drafting chair is over 14 years old hasnt needed a thing.

          • haggertm on 22/11/2024 - 16:16

            @creesy: Yeah I was looking at these too. They are $1799 in SA but they are not authorised dealers so the warranty that they provide is an in house warranty, not the Herman Miller warranty. I would rather pay the extra $200 and get the official warranty. I almost bought one through these guys but then I noticed that they have several business names all with relatively new ABN's, and if I'm buying a chair with a 12 year warranty I would feel more comfortable buying one from a company that is more likely to still be around in 12 years.

            • creesy on 22/11/2024 - 17:35

              @haggertm: Depends on the person i guess this deal wasnt current when i purchased so the next best price was like $600 or so more.

              Id rather the $600 discount to be honest but only because I trust the herman miller brand and parts are easy to change and purchase.

            • creesy on 22/11/2024 - 22:33

          Definately wasnt "no warranty" when i purchased. I never actually looked at their website. Spoke to the guy through facebook.

          That said it may be hard to claim warranty from people such as this but my other HM is 14 years old and hasnt needed a thing so im my opinion still worth it for the discount considering most parts are sub $300 and readily available.

          No idea where they came from but its a registered business etc. So im sure they arent stolen if thats what you are implying…

      I bought one from Amazon when I lived in the US for less than USD$700. It was 10 years ago, so it was when the AUD was buying like $1.10 USD. I wish I'd kept it when I moved back to Aus but at the time it was too much of a pain to ship. If I'd known how much it would appreciate in value I would have bought tons of them!

      • rumblytangara on 19/11/2024 - 22:00

        When I knew I was going to move, I went and got my hands on two more HM chairs just to stuff into shipping. I should have gotten more.

  • oO0Dam0Oo on 19/11/2024 - 18:49

    Have a HM Aero at the office and an Ergohuman V2 at home. Think both are as good as each other for back support and if I had my time again, I’d get two of the much cheaper V2’s.

    • eccaz on 19/11/2024 - 21:38

      The ergohuman sadly isn’t comfortable for tall people.

  • zip2 on 19/11/2024 - 19:08

    A lot of these Herman Miller chairs have gas cylinder wobble, which is a common problem that leads to bad ergonomics. So better to test it out before you buy.

  • arnieb on 19/11/2024 - 19:09

    I purchased pre-covid for around this price from innerspace QLD. I also purchased a third party head rest. To be honest the head rest doesn't really help my chronic neck pain, so I probably wouldn't purchase that again. The chair is great and after 4 years, and multiple house moves it has held up without much damage. Would recommend it if you got the cash to throw.

    • eug on 19/11/2024 - 19:24

      I guess it depends on the individual. I bought an Engineered Now headrest for my work chair and it made such a difference to my neck pain that I bought one for home too.

    Typing from my Aeron chair.

    Personal tip: Given the price of HM chair, I would highly recommend putting yourself on these chairs in their showroom before purchcase. In particular, the Aeron chair has 3 sizes and their size guide is not every clear (at least to me).

    I am about 6 feets and 190lbs, based on their size chart I am between size B and C, awkward spot… so the size B and C are not only different in scale, they are more like diff style to my size/weight.

    Size B: The sit pad is smaller, so I can put my ass in deep and get good lumbar support, while my legs are on the ground with good 90 degree angle. Bad thing is, it has shorter back pad, sitting is fine but my back will reach the hard edge when I lay down.
    Size C: It's more relaxing type. The back pad is bigger so I get fully back support all the time. But the sit pad is too big to me (sry don't have long legs). To get lumbar support I have to sit deep, then my lower leg hit the sit pad edge which is not comfy. Even tho, the I rarely can feel the lumbar support.

    I have watched many youtube videos and some reddit posts, most of ppl suggested Size C if you fall in the "B or C" area in size chart. But to me I definitely will pick size B. It's really FMMV.

    • trawg on 19/11/2024 - 21:53

      I am about the same height & 74kg. I am on a C at the moment but I owned a B when I lived in the US and thought it was a better fit for me. But you're right as being an awkward spot! Definitely agree with testing them out as much as you can, especially now they are so freakin expensive.

    • weirdomonkey on 21/11/2024 - 13:15

      I've been using one for over a decade - and I work from home. Bought out of frustration from cheaper ones disintegrating when I was in university. It took about a week to get used to it, but 14 years later its still holding up. The pleather seat is in one piece, but the headrest is starting to crack.

      I have no real complaints for the money other than the fixed arm rest and lumbar, but luckily both work for me.

      I heard they replaced the old model with a new one, have not sat in it to compare.

    Another recommendation for the Aeron from me - I got mine third hand from Marketplace for $550 about a year ago. WFH 8 hours a day every day and I don't feel any fatigue at the end of the day. I think it's about 15 years old.

          They are comparively junk ergonomics wise. But you need to sit in chairs to really feel it and see if it works with your body.

          I'd look for a size c Aeron on marketplace after trying one in store if possible. You can easily get one under 750.

  • airtime on 19/11/2024 - 22:58

    I absolutely love my Aeron Remastered with PostureFitSL. For me, without any doubt, the most comfortable office chair I have ever owned or used. I spend 8 hours plus per day sitting in it and couldn't be happier.

    When first getting an Aeron, be prepared to give the chair 2 weeks for your body to get used to it. I found my upper legs took about a week or so to get used to the mesh and front lip. Also be prepared to adjust you work area as it really helped me sit in a correct ergonomic position. With all my previous chairs I would slump forward and had to put my keyboard further away. With the Aeron I sit correctly upright and correspondingly, they keyboard needs to be closer.

    The polished aluminium chassis version was also worth the extra $ - it looks absolutely beautiful.

    Be aware that the mesh feels cold in winter but nicely cool in summer.

    Highly recommended if you spend a lot of your time in an office chair.

    Absolutely worth the investment (and I paid over $2000 for this chair!).

    I suffered for years with lower back pain after using the typical officeworks chairs for 10+ hours during my working days. But I kept saying that I couldn't justify the price when it was ~$1000.

    I finally bit the bullet and paid the extra premium of $1000.

    And I will do it again, because ever since I got this chair, I haven't suffered any lower back pain!

      That's just about the identical story to myself.

      When I think back on this, I did temporarily see a physiotherapist >10 years ago and they never mentioned anything about this chair. But, they were very keen to get me booked in to regular appointments (in which I said I didn't want to).

      So I consider the physio industry to be a scam. For people who WFH and have sore lower back, they could just recommend this chair and go from there. Instead, they are incentivised to make you pay regularly for them to show you how to do exercises that you could look up on youtube.

        As with most things, it depends on the specific person you're seeing. The physio I saw never pushed me to re-book an appointment and always left it to me to decide whether or not I need to come back.

        On the other hand a chiro I visited was very persistent in trying to get me to come back. Not sure if they're all like that.

          Ok, I realise I already used the word "scam" and now I need to find a word that is 10x worse than that to convey what I think of the predatory clowns in the fake "chiropractic" industry.

        Most the physios I have seen are "let me get you fixed up so that you can get back to your sport and hopefully you don't need to come back."

        Because I have gone out of my way to find good physios.

        I think you have been seeing crap physios (and yes, there are plenty out there, especially in Asia).

    Can confirm the code works with the Embody, so probably across their range as OP suggested.

    Takes the price down from $3,190 to $2,552

    I tried one out and it was horrible for posture and every time you moved it would wobble, creak and crack. Never again. Will stick to my $200 officeworks chair
