Herman Miller Chairs

[bob4432]

for those that use them often, would you say that they are worth their price in comfort?

I dont like them much.

You need a "Way too poor to afford one" poll option.

I agree. Only people with skinny butts feel the support is worth it. I have a large fat butt so I need soft italian leather not some mesh webbing.

I had an Aeron as an office chair for about a year - it was OK but nothing to write home about for $800.

Depends on the model. I'm trying to find a used Eames Aluminum group chair for a reasonable price, but people just want too much for a 20 year old chair. That said, they are some of the greatest chairs ever made.

The Aerons are a ripoff and, IMO a total departure from other Miller designs. I really dislike them on the basis of design and I think they just plain look tacky.

There are a dozen or so other designs I'd love to have in my home, other than office chairs that I would gladly pay the premium for, could I afford them.

I don't think they're worth the cost, but they're pretty damn comfortable.

Works fine here.

Aerons are way overrated, however I'm sitting in this right now and its worth every penny.

The back is a terrible thing to waste.

I went looking, and was willing to drop upwards of about $1000 on a chair.

I didn't find the Herman Miller Aeron to be very comfortable. I ended up just spending $300 on a different chair which I found more comfortable.
