Question about Herman Miller warranty

[mugs]

12 year warranty is awesome, but would I have to ship the chair to them, or can I just take it to any authorized reseller for repair? Shipping one of those chairs seems like it'd be pretty expensive.


Edit:
Also, any authorized resellers with particularly good prices?

With the price they charge, it should have a lifetime warranty.
Most of the chairs at staples have longer warranty than the 12 year

That's like comparing a Hyuandi to a Mercedes. A piece of crap is still a piece of crap.

(I'm typing this from my piece of crap Staples chair.)

I haven't seen a chair at Staples or Office Depot with more than a 1year warranty..

I got a used Aeron chair at home that beats the crap out of my Office Depot piece of shit at work.. We replace el-cheap Office Depot $200 chairs about once every 1-2 years. Aeron chairs easily last 12 years - and they're about 4x more comfortable.

So.. $200 chair replaced 6 times over 12 years for $1200 total.. or Aeron chair for $800.. I'll take the Aeron.

I'm not sure of the prices, but we sell them through one of our websites at work. So ... not sure if this is helpful or not but it is related

It'd be helpful if you could hook a brotha up. I kid. But your prices seem about the same as all of the other stores I've seen online, which is a decent discount off list price - $749 for a bare-bones chair (with armrests) and $949 for a loaded chair. I'm thinking I'll go with the loaded chair, because my main complaint about my friend's chair was that it didn't have the tilt limiter.

All I can suggest is that you find a place that you can demo it for an extended period of time.

I've got a Mirra right now at work and I wouldn't pay a fraction of the money that my employers probably gave for this thing.

Try Sit4Less. I bought a couple through them. If you haggle on the phone, they'll drop a few bucks off, too.

Plus free return shipping if you don't like the chair! Though you can return any chair in 1 year if your not happy with it!
