Question

Afternoon all!

Has anyone experiencd or owned a Herman Miller chair? They are "supposed" to be the best you can get and superb for bad back sufferers like myself. Any comments or experiences would be gratefully received!!!!

Many thanks!

My fat **** is sat in one.

I also suffer with a bad back - but this chair is awesome.

The downside is though, that the chair can be laid flat, and my work mates often change the setting whilst I'm away.

They look very similar to ones a customer of ours had a site in London. If so, they are comfy as sin and the vented materials means no sweaty bum

They are excellent, there are various size options so if your not comfy you may have the wrong size.

super comfy........i can sit in it for 12 hrs get up and not feel like i've been sat down all day..thats the sign of a good chair.

best £600 (ebay!) ive spent in ages.

also its as close to sex as a chair can get.

Not keen on the Herman Miller ones myself. Just started a short-term contract for a new client, and their offices are decked out with Aerons.

Much prefer the leather and yew captain's chair I've got in my own office

Look at Steelcase chairs. Much better and they won't ruin your trousers

The Aeron chair sucks!

oh dear oh dear.

ppl missing the point somewhat.

if i bought my easyboy recliner in to my office it would be more comfy than my aeron......until my back caves in at 45 and im off work with iwasatwatwithacrapchairitus.

the bizare rantings of some website geeko, whos probably a fat yank who's **** is to big for any chair is not going to put me off mine!

I included the link for humour! I've never actually tried an Aeron, I just love my Steelcase!

Good luck in your chair choice.
