Are refurb chairs risky?

[eurokage]

which do you prefer? My refurb leap is a good few years old now but keeps dropping down every so often. Not sure if to fix it or buy a new one.

The Gesture is better, but a good condition Leap V1 will still be better than most chairs on the market. I'd look into fixing it. By dropping, do you mean the height? I'd look into the gas cylinder, you might find this useful (vid says v2 but still relevant for v1):

You probably just need a new gas cylinder, it's an easy replacement and shouldn't cost more than £30-50.

Would you buy one if it had a picture of the previous owner? Ewwww no just buy new.

Sit on one and see

I read the cylinder thing shot up , went through the foam and killed the person sitting on it.

Hopefully that's the first and last time I have to read "killed anally"

If you're really unlucky someone will tell you the ballad of Mr. Hands.

'hermanmilleroutletuk' - picked up my refurbished Embody from them on Ebay last year. I couldn't spot a single mark or flaw - it might as well have been new, aside from the fact it arrived in unofficial packaging.

I paid approx 1/2 price though, not sure why the refurb price has climbed to over £1K now. Not worth it at current price, as you don't get the warranty.

Just had a look on there, seems to be extremely poor value. Gaming Aeron = £870 (£826.50 with 5% code) vs £1,096 for a new one...

Yeah no idea why the refurb prices have gone up so much now! I guess I got lucky and bought at the right time

Hmmmmmmm yeah not sure how i feel about pre-owned chairs, maybe after a carpet cleaner on it

Yeah I don't think I'd be buying used chairs, but a manufacturer's refurb will at least have been inspected for problems, had parts replaced, cleaned etc
