EOFY10

This morning I saw that Living Edge has started its EOFY sale.

The price of their AERON Graphite size B has increased from $1690 to $1780, but after applying the coupon code EOFY10 it can bring the price down to $1602. Not exactly the big discount I was hoping for, but it's better than nothing.

The shipping is $60 for me, but as an ozbargainer I decided to pick it up from their warehouse which is not too far from their showroom.

Btw, the coupon code can be used for other items as well.

[Edit] Forgot to mention that if you have signed up Amex Shop Small offer, you can get 3 extra points for every $1 spent.

[Edit #2] Looks like they've removed the coupon code from their website so I'm marking this as an expired post.

    They have also put up prices before the 10% sale, for example, on the Sayl: Was $790, now only $845! Still marginally cheaper after discount but dishonest practice that should be called out.

      ditto ^^

      have been monitoring Aeron prices, it's technically cheaper, true
      but prices were adjusted just before this comes out :/

    Would like a herman miller but cant justify the price, people always talk about buying them for 1k and under but never seem to be lucky enough.

    • notJV on 01/06/2021 - 14:07

      True…

    • Costco97 on 01/06/2021 - 14:14

      True, I bought for around 1100, 10 years ago (RRP used to be 1400 or 1300) and I used to think that is expensive. In US at that time same model used to be selling for around $800 mark.

    • sumyungguy on 01/06/2021 - 15:25

      I paid $400 for a (good) used one some five years ago. Not sure what has driven the prices up so high - perhaps lack of supply into the secondhand market?

      • kaizenchan on 01/06/2021 - 17:19

        everyone working from home and getting one… just like me

    Size C was $1690 most of this year. They now back at $1860 so -10% ends up $1674.

    • WayneOZ on 01/06/2021 - 21:39

      Thanks for the sharing. When it comes to promotions, this is the one I hate most.

    Never heard of Living Edge but this misleading 'sale' means they'll never ever get a cent from me.

      Unfortunately that are the ones which supply to corporate and main distributor I think.

      Living edge are one of the main suppliers dude.

    • thesainter on 01/06/2021 - 15:51

      they are still cheaper then most of the other high end chair dealers

        Gumtree and Ebay always have some. Due to lockdown even secondhand prices went out of roof.

        Here is an example:

        https://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/rockdale/office-chairs/herma…

        Many others are selling for around $900 mark which used to be between 350-550 earlier.

        If you're in Melbourne, I purchased a couple of good quality second-hand Aerons from Egans in Footscray for around $800.

        I trowled through gumtree and ebay for months to find one <$700 but they were so rare to come up and when they did, they would be gone within literally minutes, so I just settled on paying a little extra to get these and I'm very happy with it.

      • clover on 01/06/2021 - 17:05

        I bought a second hand off gum tree for 400 including delivery 2 years ago. Very happy

        Not with the mesh on these bad boys. Those farts just sift right through.

        • thesainter on 01/06/2021 - 15:54

          yes sift the farts; the particles on the other hand

        • mini2 on 01/06/2021 - 16:52

          There's still a bit of foam on the front near the crouch. I've pulled one apart and it's disgusting between the mesh and the seat pan.

      Heres a video about second hand aerons if you can find them.

      I bought mine new in 2015 for $1200 (from memory it was from Living Edge too). Still good as the day I got it, 8 hours of daily use. Will I sell it? never…

    Unfortunate. This is really a ~5% sale, misleading.

  • watwatwat on 01/06/2021 - 14:15

    The price of their AERON Graphite size B has increased from $1690 to $1780

    Wow!!!!!!!!! Imagine having a product that you you don't need to spend any R&D money on and you just significantly increase the price every couple of years. Pure gravy.

    • Shiq1 on 01/06/2021 - 23:04

      Basically the same model every luxury boutique applies…

    the recent Steelcase promos are still around if you're considering a chair investment.
    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/brand/steelcase

    I've gone for the leap, not quite as steep as the Aeron's 1.6K but many comparisons in the post comments here - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/622773

    • maverickjohn on 01/06/2021 - 20:21

      That's a great price for the leap. . The leap beats the Aeron in almost all comfort and ergonomic tests I've read.

    neg for price jacking/minimal savings.

    • Costco97 on 01/06/2021 - 14:24

      I imagine you haven't used aeron in office so far? Once you have used them for some time, you start to question quality of most other chairs sold as office chairs. For same reason its price keeps on increasing especially when there is specific company that holds majority of the distribution.

      • Wardaddy on 01/06/2021 - 14:27

        I have used aeron, and similar knock offs at a fraction of the price. Half of this price is for the Herman Miller name.

          +2

          care to share the names of the knocks offs that are as ergonomic as the aerons?

          I rate the RH Logic 400 Chair higher than the Aerons however that is still a $1400 chair.

              @Wardaddy: So you don't actually know anything? Just FYI, the warranty on these guys lasts even through the second hand market. THey come to you and fix the chair.

              • Wardaddy on 02/06/2021 - 12:07

                @onlinepred: LOL. Getting down voted for delegating? You guys are hilarious.

                • onlinepred on 02/06/2021 - 12:32

                  @Wardaddy: The problem is, your secretary isn't an OZB product researcher. Not only that, but you have commented on them, but you have no clue as to why. So we can only assume that you did not actually ask your secretary why certain chairs are better or not, or at the very least know the brands of the chairs you chose that are comparable. So perhaps get your secretary to answer these questions for you as you clearly don't know anything about them. There is nothing wrong with delegating, although I still like learn from the effort of my team rather than just accept what they have done.

                  • Wardaddy on 02/06/2021 - 23:56

                    @onlinepred: Awful lot of fanboy passion going on over an office chair. I thought the Apple fanboys were a little crazy, but you guys are hilarious.

    Will wait until the price comes down $1,200 new or $700 used. Would love to see it comes down further but with many have already used to working from home I don't see how it can happen any time soon even when the Covid is over.

      But your dollars purchasing power were worth double 10 years ago. Inflation is through the roof and getting worse.

      • Bunnyburger on 02/06/2021 - 14:01

        Remember when we hit parity with the USD? Living Edge never passed down the savings to the consumer.

        According to the RBA's inflation calculator, a basket of goods and services valued at $1495 in calendar year 2010 , would in calendar year 2020 cost $1806.13.

        The stainless steel Aeron costs more than the graphite one. I stand by what I said.

  • vihand on 01/06/2021 - 17:50

    Normally they should have a lot of stocks with size B and the base graphite setup(Saying 100+) as this is the most popular configuration of this chair. So the shipment should not be any issue as they will be shipped as cargo not just one by one. I have 3 of these with me, 1 in 2013 for $1100, 1 in 2017 for $1259 and 1 2nd hand $600 last March/April lockdown time. I don't understand why the price is going up this year especially the AUD currency to USD is stronger this year.

  • Veni on 01/06/2021 - 18:19

        • tkwhuang on 02/06/2021 - 15:21

          @Pesty looks like they are selling it at a slightly lower price today. It's now showing $1590 on their website.

  • 45rpm on 12/06/2021 - 01:07

    I got one before the price hike which they said due to shipping and aud - it didn’t matter as much to me as I got an architect friend to arrange a discount for me and I also had a work subsidy. As for second hand, warranty does not cover if it’s sold to someone else and living edge insist on having the original receipt and your name on file…..
