    A few years back I snapped up a used one of these chairs for $40 from a Gumtree add for an office that was closing. Had I known what it was at the time I would have bought 3 or 4 of them.

      Your wallet may be happy but in the long term will your body be happy compared to getting something ergonomically sound? It might be, everyone has different shapes and sizes and the actual amount of time spent in the chair… The saying of "don't cheap out on things that seperate you from the ground" I've found to be generally good advice in the long term though.

      • morediscount on 21/07/2023 - 15:33

        that maybe.. but there is no way this chair has materials in it that cost that much.. max $200 in that chair… they sell it at the price..coz they can

  • Justin9mm on 21/07/2023 - 15:28

    I know this is like a Rolls Royce of office chairs but damn, even for $1250, is it really that much better and special over a good quality $300 chair? I have a $50 Aldi chair and it's actually better ergonomically than my old $300 gaming chair. I know it wouldn't hold a candle to this chair but for the money, I want it to at least feel like I've just hopped into bed or something.

    • SydStrand on 21/07/2023 - 16:07

      It is comfortable. But more than that, they're solid as rocks. HM offer 12 year warranty but there are people who've had theirs for decades without issue, excepting things like seat pan replacement.

      If you spend meaningful amounts of time at a desk, it may be worth it. I used to buy cheapie big box office chairs and after a few years, pleather starts to peel, castors crack, and height adjustment breaks. There are very good alternatives like Steelcase Leap which are cheaper than HM, but they're still $1000+. Quality has a cost, and I'd consider this a BIFL chair.

    • rekke on 21/07/2023 - 16:51

      Given the chair has a 12yr warranty and this deal is $1250… that's $100 a year for what is ergonomically one of the best chairs (if not the best) in the world. Most chairs in the $100-300 range need to be replaced every 2-4 years (optimistically), which would mean you've effectively spent the same amount of money.

    • rumblytangara on 21/07/2023 - 18:17

      That's 'cause a $300 gaming chair is probably $50 of chair and $250 marketing paid to influencers.

      I've got an Aeron and Mirras. Have not come across anything else comparable that sells for significantly cheaper. Had the Aeron since 2011.

      I'm sure there are other chairs that would be just as durable and comfortable, but I've not bothered looking because mine were free. Would I buy one of I didn't have a chair? Yes.

      When you have back problems like me and have tried many chairs this seems to be one that helps a lot. Not sure why but my back is happier when I sit in one for long periods

    • Justin9mm on 21/07/2023 - 15:38
      +1

      Something like $2,600.00.. It's insanity! There is no way these chairs cost them more than a couple hundred bucks to make.

      • pharkurnell on 21/07/2023 - 16:43

        ….and how much cost out of the factory… LOL

      • illusion99 on 22/07/2023 - 08:40

        You’re forgetting the price also includes costs of corporate and support staff, the initial design, marketing, go to market costs etc. They are still making approximately 33x profit after all that though I’m guessing. No product only just has straight labour and raw material costs in making it. Try making your own product at scale and then see how much all the extra ancillary costs add up

        It’s like those people who eat at restaurants and say I could make this myself for half the price! Sure but you’re not paying just for the food. You’re paying for the rent, electricity, gas, salaries of the wait staff. The actual food cost is very little

  • Maths Debater on 21/07/2023 - 15:37

        Consumers don't represent the target market. These go into corporate offices by the hundreds (first office I worked in bought about a thousand at once) complete with underutilized multi year support contracts.

        They don't care about people on Ozbargain snapping up tiny amounts of cosmetic defect chairs.

        I once spent an evening watching adults slam these into other chairs under full bodyweight- look up Aeron Hockey. None of the chairs broke.

        Marketing 101.
        If you price something high enough, it will give people a false sense of exclusivity.
        It could even be shit on a stick. There is psychology behind why people buy luxury goods.
        Want to know the irony? The majority are by people who can't actually afford it and living beyond their means.
        That's why you'll find with designer brands, it's always the items that have the brand written all over it that are the cheapest.

    • MrMoo on 25/07/2023 - 10:48

      I'm surprised there are no cancellations since orders kept going through after they went out of stock. They either had more stock than advertised or a few lucky people are going to get undamaged new ones.

      • Ahan on 25/07/2023 - 11:02

        I thought the same. Will see.

      • Hawk Tuah on 25/07/2023 - 11:59

        Nope, people like myself that placed orders later haven't heard from LE yet, still expecting cancellation email soon. I don't see them sending out new chairs for $1k less than rrp when they can just cancel the orders.

        • MrMoo on 25/07/2023 - 12:01

          Ahh ok, just not a lot of people have chimed in then. Because the people who have commented are saying they have received invoices or order confirmations.

          I too would think it's much better to cancel than to send out new chairs at significant discount, they would have to be desperate for goodwill to do that.

          • Hawk Tuah on 25/07/2023 - 12:06

            @MrMoo: Yeah I'm guessing I was one of the last ones to get my order through, went oos seconds after.
