First post..
Based on the most recent post, seems like $1,690 is the 'acceptable price' for Size B/C Aerons now. Click here for recent post for reference https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/603740
Have been eying for a Aeron chair size B for ages and noticed Badbacks are doing free delivery (to postcodes 3000 to 3765 and 3802 to 3977, as per home page) and have Size B in stock.
Because it was designed 20 years ago and doesn't support the way we work today (laptops, phones, different movements, etc). Their newer updated model might be better, but I haven't given it a try yet.
I’ve got the remastered Aeron and I think the mesh can sag over time. If it’s not supporting your weight, the mesh can be a bit too worn out
I had the Aeron for many years and ended up selling it for exactly the reason you mentioned - sitting in it gave me a sore back.
I replaced it with a second hand Steelcase Think which I picked up for a couple of hundred bucks and its exponentially better.
I've experienced the same! I had this at office and worsened my lower back pain. I thought it was just me.
could it be a replica aeron? i have seen some offices furnished with replica furniture
It's $1690 at living edge + delivery for a total of $1750… so this isn't a must-buy at this price
You could regularly pickup the original Aerons on sale for for ~$900 - what is it about the 'remastered' version which makes it worth almost twice the price?
I only ever saw them once at $900, ever. It's not that these are changed all that much at all, just new pricing to reflect what people will pay these days.
define regularly? Never seen them for that low. I got mine for $1000 about 5 years ago.
Not really a deal as this is normal price. You can pick up in showrooms for free equalling the $1690
100% agreed! This is not a deal at all.. this is NORMAL price
I need a deal for headrest
Living Edge had a warehouse sale this weekend and a fair few of these were sold for $1310 each. They’ve gotten more expensive over the last couple of years - my non-remastered was $900 brand new from them. They also had half a dozen or so of base spec Embody for $1400 each.
wished i knew about it.. i had no idea
If you're down in Melbourne it's inconsequential for you anyway, it's up here in Sydney only.
hmmm, I feel like you told could have told us this pertinent information earlier…
In other news I forgot to post on ozbargain in 2009, bitcoin is 2 cents per coin, probably a good buy as it will likely hit 100k each in 10 years
Spoke to Living Edge this morning.
Warehouse sale stock comes with a limited warranty. Nothing like the 12 year warranty on non-warehouse stock.
There will be a sale coming up prior to EOFY.
Do you have any details on the sale? Will it include the Aeron?
Will the Vitra Polder be on sale? I am really keen on this sofa and when they were doing the last warehouse clearance I missed it…
Got excited when I saw this deal then I saw the price and realised it wasn't really a deal :/
Same.. been waiting for an Aeron to actually go on sale for a while
only been 3 years since the last sale (according to OzB). fingers crossed for the sale comes for 2021.
I thought some could benefit from at least free shipping lol
Nah thats fair enough mate. Really hurt seeing all the recent sale for Steelcase was so tempted to pull the trigger on one of them but I have my heart set on the aeron
does anyone have any experience with aeron vs leap/gesture?
I've got slipped discs at my lower back. I've lived with it over 20 years. That's the chair I have at office. However I've got no idea why such a pricey chair can make my back feel worse.
