Herman Miller chair - anyone got them? are they THAT good?
 

im looking for a new chair....any got a Herman Miller chair?

I got one.. its the shit!

I have them at home and in the office, best chair I ever owned but pricey :)

Yeah they're quite comfy. ebay search on herman miller aeron will do the trick.

That chair is pure torture. I had one at the last real job I had. It was terrible. The reason they are so good for your back is you can't sit in them for more than 30 minutes at a time. I grabbed a folding metal chair and put that at my desk with much better results.

I'd recommend going to an office furniture store and sit in one for about 20-30 minutes and see what you think. It seems to be about a 50/50 split between people who love the chair and people who hate it. Don't buy it just because of the hype and nerd appeal.

Better than those new Steelcase ones? They look super ergonomic.

fuck a chair stand in the air

I had one in my office a few years ago.

I have a cheaper version of the same type of chair in my home office.

I'd recommend them.

Yep love it, have the lounge version

If your looking at other Dansish moderns then The Le Corbusier stuff can be real stiff just so you know.

I would love to know how you can possibly hate the world's most comfortable chair. This tirade leads me to believe that you have no fucking clue how to sit in a chair.

For the record that's an Eames chair.

Wait are you morbidly obese?


Or are you related to this guy?

you are correct. I recline corrected.

And in timeless style!

Owned an Aeron for nearly 10 years. Never had back pain.

highly recommended.

I am at my ideal body weight. Maybe the problem is that only fatasses like the chair. If you'd read my post I said "It seems to be about a 50/50 split between people who love the chair and people who hate it." It is NOT a fact that the chair is the world's most comfortable. Everyone in the entire world does not share your opinion of this overpriced hunk of shit.

I used to sell office seating for a living and Herman Miller made good chairs. But the best was this one.

It constantly moves as your sitting, you don't notice it, so changing your posture and spine. The problem with sitting for a long time is the body is not designed to be in one position for very long.

wtf :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

it is good advice to sit in a chair for 20min.

i advise against foam seats.. after a few months you will depress the foam and merely be sitting on the flat supporting base. your ass will get sore. the aeron chair has a mesh bottom to solve this issue :)

I love mine but if you are a bigger person go for size C as opposed to the most commonly available size B.

I can't seem to find a chair that doesn't cut me at the knees. Even with a hassock for my feet, I am never really comfortable. Any short ppl use the HM chair?

Along the same lines .. anyone ever find a really good keyboard for small hands?

Im thinking of getting someone from the US send me one and hopefully customs won't notice....if you buy one in Israel its gonna cost you almost $1800 for the most basic version.

I sit on the floor for discaplin.

Chairs are for Pussies.

I tried that exact same chair hated it as well. Gave it up after a couple miserable days. I just couldn't get comfortable in it; and Babaganoosh was right - made me want to get up and away from it after a few minutes. Maybe it's because I'm only 5'10", 167 pounds *shrug*.

Best bet would be, as the someone else said, find a furniture store and sit in chairs for a while.

yes & yes !!!
