At a company I used to work for, we had Aeron chairs since we all sat at a computer all day.
They took preventing long term chronic pain really seriously. We'd have experts come to us every now and then to make sure our chair adjustments and body posture were correct.As for the one I use, after leaving the job, I wanted a similar chair but less expensive and after a ton of research, I bought the Quantum 9000 (4th one on the list). There are chairs that look similar to the Aeron chairs but looks can be deceiving. This chair had a somewhat similar look but more importantly, had a similar feel as well. I've been using this chair for nearly years, sitting for an average of 8 hours a day, and the support and quality of the chair hasn't noticeably decreased at all. It cost about half the price of an Aeron chair or even 3 times less depending on the Aeron chair model you compare to.The mesh seat and back support along with all of the various adjustable pieces of the chair makes is adjustable for each person's needs. The problem with cheaper chairs aside from being made of cheap parts is the lack of sufficient adjustable parts.
Herman Miller, the creator of Aeron chairs, has several types of Aeron chairs as well as accessories you can get like the head rest. There are different sizes as well since someone who is small is going to need a different chair than someone who is a lot bigger. This is one reason why Aeron chairs cost so much.This one doesn't look as cool as the Aeron chairs but in terms of quality, as someone who has actually used both chairs for an extensive amount of time, there isn't too big of a difference and at a much lower price, it makes this chair a great value in my opinion.Your best bet is the Alera Elusion at just under $200. I've heard it is a very comparable experience, however I cannot personally say, as I have never spent $800 on a chair. All I know is that the Elusion is an excellent choice.My Elusion of choice is this one: Alera Elusion Series Mesh High-Back Multifunction ChairBut they've also got a few models to choose from if you want to dig around a bit: Alera Elusion | eBayThe Chadwick Chair by Knoll is the closest I've found to the Aeron, but it's only $100 cheaper.
If you're looking for a considerably less expensive office chair that still provides ergonomic benefits, you might like the Alera Elusion Series High-Back Mesh Chair... It's about $225 on Amazon, and has pretty good features.: Alera Elusion Series Mesh High-Back Multifunction ChairFor those who are interested, I wrote a blog post on office chairs that you might find useful if you're searching for a new chair... Link - What Kind of Office Chair Should I Buy?I've had my Aeron for a couple of years now (bought it new for quite a bit more than $400) and I really don't get all the fuss.It's not that adjustable: control the armrest height, how far you can recline, and the tension of the spring that holds you there.I will suggest here one effective blog site where you will get more comfortable Aeron chair- check out here.Everybody says Alera Elusion, and so do I.I would also consider the Herman Miller Sayl, designed by Yves Behar, which is a cheaper alternative to the Aeron. But it costs much more than the Elusion, I have to add.
Top 10 Computer Chairs imageWorking at a desk on a computer all day often puts undue strain on the body, leading not only to physical issues but also a drop in productivity. For these reasons, many people turn to the top computer...Read More about Top 10 Computer ChairsThis post was written by Daniel Mrdjenovich. Follow him on Twitter or Google Plus.The month of June proved quite exciting for the Priceonomics team. Over the course of three weeks our team doubled in size as we welcomed James, Daniel and Forrest. Although we couldn’t be happier with the growth, it meant that we now have a shortage of office chairs. This might have proven a non-issue at any large corporation, but as a startup we don’t exactly stockpile dozens of chairs in the hopes of one day entertaining visitors.In order to make sure that everyone had a productive first day, Michael researched the prices of new Herman Miller Aeron Chairs. As awesome as the interns might prove to be, Priceonomics was surely not going to pay $800+ per chair.
Based on Priceonomics data, Michael determined used Size B Aeron chairs were valued at $450 on used markets. Fortunately, all of our new hires today sit comfortably on office chairs. Throughout the course of the process, Michael learned quite a bit about the craigslist market for office chairs. We hope this post offers tips buyers and sellers tips on how to assess the value of Aeron chairs.Don't Be Satisfied with "Excellent Condition"Even at the used price of $450 per Aeron chair, that's still a lot of money. We wanted to be sure they were of good quality, here's our five-step inspection checklist:1. Sizing: Turns out, Herman Miller actually offers three different sizes for Aeron chairs: A, B, and C. Here’s a breakdown of the appropriate size based on height and weight from the Aeron Chair Blog:Michael found that in most listings sellers don’t mention size. Since Aeron chairs look similar regardless of size, you can figure out a chair’s size by placing your hand under the back’s flap.
You should feel one, two, or three bumps corresponding to sizes A, B, or C.2. Mesh Quality: Unlike other office chairs, the Aeron chair relies on mesh rather than cushion for support. Damaged, torn, or frayed mesh will likely require an expensive replacement in the near future.3. Working Levers: Let’s be honest, as ergonomic as this chair might seem, it’s useless if you can’t adjust it.4. Armrest Damage: Aeron chairs are designed to fit underneath your desk. Unfortunately, many armrest are often scuffed or dislodged by rubbing up against the underside of the desk. If you don’t mind ugly armrests, you could still buy one of these and ask for a discount.5. Proper Lumbar Support: Unless you plan to suffer through nine hours of agony each day, inspect the lumbar support quality. Since it only costs around $60 for these replacement parts, damaged lumbar support could prove a bargaining tactic with the seller.When people refer to Craiglist as a “broken system”, they’re usually frustrated at the fact they can’t always buy or sell exactly what they want.
Although you might not always land the item you wanted at your desired price, Michael discovered you can take some steps to ensure you find something as close as possible. In our case, we wanted a black Aeron Size B chair for under $450 delivered to our offices. Here's how we made it happen:1. Alerts: Timing is key in a market like Craigslist. If an item in high demand appears on Craigslist at a good price, it probably won’t last long. In order to remedy this, Michael developed a quick hack using Craigslist RSS and Google Reader. Visit your local Craigslist site and enter a search similar to what’s shown below:Once you’re satisfied with your search, scroll and click the RSS button located at the bottom right of the page. You should see something like this:Copy the URL of the new page. Open Google Reader and subscribe to this URL. Boom, your own personalized Craigslist feed!2. Short and Direct Intros: Chances are that most sellers will quickly scan through your first email so it’s probably best not to load it with unnecessary information.
Our messages read something like this:“Hey there, we are a company located in “X neighborhood” in need of office chairs. Are you willing to deliver? Short and to the point. In a market full of scams, it’s best to leave your name and number to prove you’re a real person.3. Delivery Request: Since we all live in the city, none of us had a car to transport our coveted new office chairs. Michael found that in some cases sellers were more than willing to deliver to our offices to finalize the sale. In other cases, the seller could be coaxed into delivery by offering another $25. If you need something delivered, it doesn’t hurt to ask.4. Payment Process: Make sure to agree upon a final price (plus delivery or minus defects) and payment type. Although we intended to pay with a company check, most sellers would only accept cash. Would’ve been a bit awkward if we hadn’t fleshed out these details ahead of time.While this post won’t single handedly solve the Craigslist dilemma, we hope it provides some useful perspective for large and expensive items such as the Aeron chair.
