Updated description after people provided before prices - thanks.

Some great bargains at Living Edge on Herman Miller chairs. These do not come on sale very often and are the cheapest I have seen for these models (there are different variations on each chair - the below ones have essentially all optional extras). Yes, they are still expensive. They do have 12 year warranties and are IMO worth it if you spend all day at a computer screen.

Shipping is $60 in Sydney or free pickup in Alexandria warehouse.

Here are some examples:
Mirra 2($1095)

Sayl($625)

Aeron Size B($1250)

Not many stores in Australia sell these. The compare prices above are pulled from badbacks.com.au because I couldn't find the 'before' price on LivingEdge - e.g. for the Aeron.

    Looks like the Aeron Size C also marked down somewhat at $1350.

    The Embody appears to be $200 off (was $1850 the other day, now $1650).

          12 years is a dumb marketing strategy because the average person is going to just assume 12 months without reading it properly… "10 years warranty" would have just as much if not more impact to a consumer with 2 years less risk for them.

    Not impressed with the sayl design. We have them at work (or similar). If you've got buttons on your pants/dresses and you move back into the chair, you get snagged. Pull hard enough and your clothes are done! They have an insert made to resolve it but they just cause other problems.

          Offices are willing to buy chairs for stupid high prices apparently. Went to a shop looking for a chair and found some very mediocre chairs we have at work selling for $150-$200 AUD.

            @N1NJ4W4RR10R: Employee health and wellbeing > suing or complaining to them for back problems.

            All larger companies have no problems paying $500-$1000 for chairs because it's an investment into the employee - and the more comfy a chair the less the issues (and probably the less getting up lol).

            These chairs have millions of R&D that go into it, so it makes sense. And 12 year warranties are obviously built into good chairs.

            • N1NJ4W4RR10R on 04/01/2019 - 19:34

              @jaygee: These specific chairs were not good. Hard back and bottom, came for something like $200. Any decent chairs were north of $250.

              Went to cheap as chips and picked up a pretty good chair for myself for $100~

              Companies selling office stuff overcharge because companies are fine witb throwing out the cash. Good for them, but a pain in the arse for me (where I live, was practically only office equipment chairs to buy, bar that cheap as chips one I found).

              The one from cheap as chips is definitely better then the one I have at work if you're curious

      I have a sayl as a workchair and wear pants with buttons. Never got snagged. Not saying others won't have a problem but perhaps it's dependent on the individual.

    • milesandbos on 29/12/2018 - 18:18
      +3

      We also have the Sayl design at work and while snagging doesn't occur (for me at least) they're just not comfortable enough (or adjustable enough). When you're paying hundreds for a chair, you expect something epic and they're a big let down.

    Just wanted to post my experience with my Herman Miller Aeron chair. Have had the chair for over 11 years. Absolutely love the chair, no issues with hydraulics in all this time.

    3 years ago the seat portion developed a crack at the back which caused it to lift up when I was sitting. I contacted Living Edge and sent some photos of the problem, which they then forwarded onto the US. Within a month and under warranty the seat had arrived from the US and Living Edge sent someone to my home and fixed it on the spot for an 8 year old chair at the time.

    Love the chair and love the service and warranty that come with it.

      While self employed 15 years ago my wife bought a Humanscale Freedom chair for me as business expense as I spent hours in the evening gaming on PC and would have back issues. It didnt work out for me and gave me neck ache so she kept it and bought a HM Aeron which I have had ever since and has travelled with us as we moved. Sitting in it now I can say mesh is best as just more comfortable and easy to clean, no "smells" and food/drink stains like cloth etc.

      Ridiculous price when you look at what it is but only when you have had it for so long does it value make some sense.

        i had a laminectomy a few months ago and purchased a humanscale freedom chair. its been great for my back. i like the auto tilt and neck support when i lean back. one thing i found is that you can adjust the tilt stiffness by using an allen key in the hole under the seat. you can also adjust the thigh support by pulling the seat out if you have long legs.

  • ndro777 on 29/12/2018 - 15:49

    I bought Aeron B for $1350 last year on sale, so this is a great price. The chair saves me from years of back pain. It enables me to sit properly meaning less visits to the chiro.

    • spaceflight on 29/12/2018 - 17:58

      That's funny because the Aeron was never designed as a chair for posture or something that is healthy for you to sit in all day every day.

          I didn't say it didn't.

          What I said was that as a chair they weren't actually designed a posture chair.

          What that means is that it isn't the best chair for back pain, posture or anything else. It's just an expensive chair that happens to be comfortable :)

            Nonsense. My (long) career is full of hardworking and productive workmates without exotic chairs.

            This is not really exotic. Most of the offices at work have Aerons or Mirras. My wife bought me one a few years ago, and it has really helped alleviate some back issues I was having.

            It seems like a fairly steep price when you look at it as just a chair, however, personally it was a no-brainer.

            On a side note, I wrecked my back in early 2012-2013 as I had an el-cheapo office chair which wasn't properly aligned. As a result my back muscles and hip had grown quite imbalanced over time. Took a bloody long time to sort out.

            There is a saying, never cheap out on things that are between you and the ground (especially if you're spending hours everyday on it). E.g. Mattresses, shoes/boots… and chairs.

          I got a used Mirra from Canterbury Used Office Furniture for $250, great chair for the price. Had a very small nick on the seat mesh but it had a repair patch on it and you can't even feel it when sitting on it.

          Chair otherwise is in fantastic condition, the gas lifter works well and the arm rests are solid and there are so many adjustments you can do with the lumbar and back support it's a very high quality seat.

    • boomramada on 29/12/2018 - 21:05

      This chair is not x5 better than any $200 chair, only good if you use it for office as it's suites everyone as it's fully customersable and comes with long term service.
      But if you can find a comfortable chair that is comfortable for you, this is not any better.

      Having for home use is waste of money.

      • ThadtheChad on 30/12/2018 - 19:25

        Having for home use is waste of money.

        Not really. Ofcourse, your personal circumstance may vary.

        I spend a substantial amount of time at my desk (also work from home a couple of times during the week), so for me it makes sense to have a top quality chair at my desk.

        For me (and most of my cohort) it has been a good investment.

        • boomramada on 04/01/2019 - 12:33

          I wouldn't call it a quality chair, its a purpose based chair, comes with awesome service. I'm using for work, handle broken apart few times. But they fix it super fast.

          • ThadtheChad on 21/01/2019 - 15:44

            @boomramada: Possibly because the work chairs tend to be abused tremendously, especially when you have "hot desking".

            My personal Mirra is still going strong (only been about 3 years, so that is to be expected). I'd definitely call them a quality chair though.

    I strained my back pretty bad at squash after about a year of use using the DXRacer type R with 'lumbar' support. I kept using the DX Racer for about another 2 years, but it never got any better. Eventually I gave up and was about to purchase a new Mirra chair, but found one on gumtree for about $350, included a mesh back

    After replacing the DXRacer with the Mirra, I didn't noticed much difference at first, but I can say 6 months on, that lingering back pain I was dealing with is wayyyyyy better. The lumbar cushion on the DX Racer is a joke, it protrudes so much, it does damage! The cair before the DXRacer was a 'Vorso Ergonomic Mesh Office Chair' which offered very little in lumbar support. In short I would have no objection to recommending a Mirra chair. I don't think you should put a price on health. I wish I made the investment earlier tbh.

      Just replaced the lumbar on my AKRacing (which seems to be better compared to other brands) with https://www.amazon.com.au/Lower-Back-Lumbar-Support-Pillow/d… it feels so much more ergonomic. Time will tell whether there is a significant improvement.

        Mirra

        But even the Mirra is fantastic.

          It's one of those things that you have to try unfortunately.
          Our work has mirras, aerons and regular chairs.
          I would pick Mirra first over the aeron.
          And I chose to use a regular chair over the aeron too.
          Everybody's posture is different

    The locking mechanism on the handles on my aeron tend to come loose overtime. Have to always press it to snap it back to place again. So annoying.

          Do you still have your original receipt and are you the original owner? If so I’ll send you a PM with whom I spoke to 3 years ago if they still work at LivingEdge and they may still be able to help you. Doesn’t hurt to ask.

            @Spizz: Didn't buy it from them lol. Thanks for the offer though

    My cat loves to scratch chairs, so im reluctant for these.
    My mate bought one a few years ago, need to see what he thinks.
