VIPBF

The chair is listed for $2,385 but a 20% discount applicable by chatting through live chat.
The agent said that it is a Black Friday discount but it is not advertised on their website.

Update: The discount code is VIPBF (thanks to user lordrupertliverpool)

I wanted one of these chairs as I have been working and studying from home over the past 10 months and I'm starting to get bad lower back pain.

I have been keeping my eye on the second hand Herman Miller market but they don't come up often in SA and the prices are absolutely ridiculous. e.g. Someone wanting $2100 for a 3 year old chair, someone wanting $900 for a 18 year old chair, someone wanting $500 for a broken chair where the levers and adjustments don't work. I have seen a few Sahls come up for $500 but I really wanted the Mirra or Aeron as they are specifically recommended for their lower back support, which is what I need.

If you are purchasing yours for work / working from home it would be worth chatting to your boss to see if they would be willing to trat it as a fringe benefit. As mine is for work and study, it is Fringe Benefits Tax exempt, so my boss was happy to buy it for me as a fringe benefit meaning she can claim back the GST and pass that discount onto me, as well as me being able to pay for it with my pre tax income, so it basically brings the cost down to $1,988 - 180.72 GST = $1,807.28 - 32.5% (tax) = $1,219.91 post tax equivalent. The benefit of doing it as a fringe benefit would be that you can claim back the GST and you get the tax saving benefit immediately compared to buying it and claiming it as a tax deduction which will need to be depreciated over its useful life instead of getting the whole benefit in the year of purchase.

I didnt ask if the 20% off promotion was only for the Aeron but I would guess that it could be across their whole range.

    I tried one out and it was horrible for posture and every time you moved it would wobble, creak and crack. Never again. Will stick to my $200 officeworks chair

      I have had mine for a year now, no wobbling (unless you mean the recline?) and only a little creaking from the "pixelated support" plastic at the back, which most online reviews mention. I dont find it bad for posture either, It forces you to sit up and not slouch. My ergohuman i had previously was extremely comfortable, but crap for posture, cuz i always tended to slouch in it.
      This just goes to show how important it is to try a chair before you buy, because what is right for one person might be total crap for another.

    Bought mine for $990 brand new in 2012 and even then it felt overpriced. That being said, it's easily the best investment I ever made. Still running 12 years later full time work from home, have had to have a few hip joints replaced under warranty but other than that it's been rock solid and frankly it's ruined going into the office for me because their office chairs are so shit compared to this heavenly cloud.

  • exit on 20/11/2024 - 06:51

    It’s a great chair (paid $1450 for mine back in 2020) but there are definitely comparable options for much cheaper if you are on a budget.

    I actually think the steelcase leap might be better, and some of the haworth chairs are insanely comfortable.

    Great deal, upvoting. After battling years with cheap chairs that would give me back grief and all eventually start creaking (which drove me just as insane as the back pain), I caved 18 months ago and bought an Aeron from Living Edge (probably full price, too). Never looked back. I work from home, and it just makes sense.

    Shoes, mattress, office chair.

  • Wonka on 20/11/2024 - 08:02

    Are the arms removable and if I don't really want the arms should I just get it with arms and then sell them on eBay or something? There's only $15 in the price difference

    Paid $1200 for a Steelcase Gesture. If I had my time again would just buy a $750 chair or go to Leap V2

      It really depends on the person. I was after another chair so decided to try the Steelcase Gesture as a friend had one and was really happy with it.

      I found the foam too firm and uncomfortable. My butt would be sore after a few hours, it felt like I was sitting on an airplane seat. I kept using it for a week and returned it when it didn't work for me.

      The armrests were really nice though.

      • motion2082 on 21/11/2024 - 08:52

        I purchased the leap, used it for a week but didn’t really like the recline and aggressive lumber. Took the lumber pad out and that made a difference but then returned it and got the gesture.

        I have had the gesture for about 6 months and it’s ok but I would take the Leap back in a heartbeat.

  • Rukiata on 20/11/2024 - 08:47

    iif you are heavy will this chair be fine? I'm not sure what size to pick? and does the edges dig into your thighs?

    • Wonka on 20/11/2024 - 08:49

      Up to 110kg easy. If you're big, the big size.

  • retailsaver on 20/11/2024 - 09:33

    What's the cost of materials for one of these?

    Combined with labour to put it all together, it has to be 80-90% profit.

    Surprised other companies haven't replicated most of it and sold for a much lower price.

    • eccaz on 20/11/2024 - 09:50

      Wait till you find out about the pharmaceutical industry!

    • watwatwat on 20/11/2024 - 10:03

      If they don't inflate the cost, how will they get their bonuses?

      MillerKnoll CEO Andi Owen has been caught on camera berating workers asking about bonuses - after she received over $1 million on top of her inflated salary last year.

      In the leaked video, which has been widely circulated online, Owen told staffers via Zoom to 'leave pity city' and stop 'thinking about what you’re going to do if you don’t get a bonus'.

    • edfoo on 20/11/2024 - 10:40

      Good marketplace for some Chinese companies to copy and undercut this company.

      • yuisakas on 22/11/2024 - 00:28

        The company make this brand also make "Aeron2" that only sold in China which cost around 500-600 AUD,thats why many grey stock selling it for $1200-1300 brand new with no warranty in Aus,and called Living Edge they are selling Chinese made ones so make no difference

    • eug on 20/11/2024 - 11:04

      Maybe it's not as simple as you think then.

    • gromit on 20/11/2024 - 12:15

      there are a huge amount of replica's, the majority of which fall apart as they don't have the parts quality or the design behind them. Go look on amazon or Ali express. Just don't expect what you order to last.

    You can pick up Herman Miller chairs from https://aussiechair.com/collections/all for less than this any day of the year, I bought mine from them earlier this year and was very happy with the responsiveness and help from Kevin the guy running the store.

    Aeron Chair - Graphite (No Warrranty)
    Regular price$1,699.00 AUD

    Aeron Chair - Graphite (12 Year Warranty)
    Regular price$1,999.00 AUD

    • Rukiata on 20/11/2024 - 10:30

      how do we try them?

    • bohn on 20/11/2024 - 10:56

      I'd prefer one with a warranty, I bought mine new from living edge new in March 2021, and I lodged a warranty claim in May 2021 for a new gas lift (from the very beginning it was not always staying where it should) - and same for one of the armrests.

      Originally when I made the claim I thought (as annoying as it would be) that I would have to take it to them. Instead, despite living about 1.25hrs away from Richmond, someone came out to my place to do it all.

      Every Aussie Chair product comes with a robust 12-year 3-shift warranty provided by Aussie Chair Pty Ltd. We keep all necessary replacement parts in our warehouse, ensuring that any warranty claims are handled swiftly and efficiently.

      Not sure how they would compare vs the service I got.

  • edfoo on 20/11/2024 - 10:38

    A bargain chair only for people who are not worried about the current cost of living issue.

  • blint000 on 20/11/2024 - 11:02

    Regarding the FBT comment, the information OP provided I would be wary of, as strict interpretation of the FBT exemption I'm assuming they are relying on (otherwise deductible rule) doesn't apply to depreciable items. The on-premises property FBT exemption also does not apply if used at home vs work. There's an argument that WFH is part of the employer's business premises but this has been rejected by the ATO.

    Literally because of this post, I opened up FB marketplace and bought a used 2012 Aeron last night for $700.

    Fantastic condition for its age.

    So far 8/10 comfort as I'm still getting used to it, it's definitely not giving me any opportunities to slouch and sit like a potato no more, which is that missing 2/10 ;)

    • bohn on 20/11/2024 - 14:57

      remastered was released in 2016 but enjoy

          Nice buy. I've been looking in Adelaide for the past 6 months while my back has been detreating.
          Unfortunately they don't come up for sale on the second hand market that often, here but I would have been more than happy with a $700 12 year old chair.

    Make sure you check Herman Millers list of authorised dealers before purchasing: https://www.hermanmiller.com/en_au/where-to-buy/

    Some people here are recommending unauthorised dealers, where warranty would not be honored.

    That being said, Living Edge is legit.

  • nightflight82 on 26/11/2024 - 19:22

    I just tested both chairs, and all I can say I prefer Mirra chair over Aeron. I am 110kg / 185cm tall. I felt Aeron size C was a bit too big and I felt as if I could be tempted to skew my body on the side a bit, it had a bit too much room, size B was better more sung. However I felt that both C and B had the back mesh which was not supportive (enough) of the back especially the middle back. Mirra is perfect because it has that butterfly mechanism which keeps the spine straight / upright. So Mirra for me.

  • BobDyson on 30/11/2024 - 08:05

    I'm amazed people are paying these prices, there are thousands coming out of office blocks and being flogged off over the last few years….look at some of the ex-gov furniture sites, you can pick up some great chairs and sit stand desks. Aerons, Formway, dauphin lordo…all qualities and price ranges.

    • eug on 30/11/2024 - 08:53

      I'm not surprised… there are plenty of used goods on fb marketplace/gumtree/carsales for a fraction of the original cost but people still buy things brand-new. This would be no different?

    • Ozb101 on 01/12/2024 - 08:50

    I got a floor model C in Graphite (the cheapest) for 1822 at a showroom sale earlier this year.

    Kills me to know my previous one was $1200, but that was also in 2009 …. this is some of the cheapest i have seen for new since then.
