If you want a leather one though, might have to go to Steelcase. I only see fabric for refurbs and that's a bit crap.

I quite like the fabric, it's abused at work (not by me) and still looks pretty good/untouched.

try a grand for a new one

I paid £250 for a refurbished one

which of these? The steal case leapa, or HM Aerons? or HM Embodys?

I don't mind going refurbished, can you help me find these sites, as cheapest I see is £350-£450 second hand?

Yes, but for a personal use at home chair you can do a bit better than the dusty/ass smell fabric.

reckon the aeron is better? i'm wary of fabric chairs in case they get too hot, mesh looks like i could sit on it for days and the heat will just dissapate lol

Since you're a student, I'm guessing you're young. That means that you're still growing. You really need to take care of your back so you grow correctly. As you can't afford a Herman Miller, look instead at getting a standing desk or a kneeling chair.

Oh good lord, perhaps surround your work space with crystals too.

Swiss Ball, just buy a cheap cover for it from the bay.

£30 and you will have a better posture than any of these things that cost £££

Aren't the foam rollers easier to use?

I probably do have better posture than these guys... most sound like they're 40+ and have never seen the gym.

Nah, Aeron is an old design now. The hard plastic bits are crappy for your legs.

I assume he means to sit on.....but if you want to sit on a foam roller go knock yourself out bud

Oh and I'm not 40+ yet, not seen a gym, I see a bike and legs for walking

Would a brand new Herman Miller Aeron for £525 be a good price?... my current desk chair needs replacing quite badly. I actually can't believe how long I've had it for ... around 12 years...

But the fabric has ripped and torn at the front now revealing a crumbing out foam underneath. I also think the support has sagged a bit.

edit- for £525 I'm guessing these must be fake chairs.

Just messaged the seller and he says they are genuine, hmm £525 for genuine Herman Miller ........ He says they're from an "over order from a major plc"

my Argos bucket seat from ~2006 has a Homedics shiatsu massage machine

Sounds like something Mr Garrison might design...

Are there any decent chairs for <£100? How 'bout <£200?

And where might I pick up a good 2nd hand chair if there is such a thing?

Spending £>200 on a chair might be a good investment, but my inner Scrooge McDuck won't allow it.

Spend less on something used would be my suggestion. £525 isn't alarmingly cheap for the chair though, any sort of quantity being purchased should get to that sort of discount.

Thanks. Is there anywhere I can actually go to try out the Aeron and the Steelcase Leap chairs?
