Herman Miller

Posted By: Rad-MT on 2008-03-18
In Reply to: Anyone have a mesh chair? Are they really any - better or just trendy? nm

I got a Herman Miller chair about a year ago and at first didn't like it at all and thought it was extremely overrated and overpriced.  I couldn't get used to the lumbar support, kept taking it out and putting it back in again and anything else I could remove, etc.  I finally just left it in and adjusted it to where it should be and decided to sell it first chance I got.  Well... I still have it.  Now I love it!  From my experience, you need to use it for a while and get used to it.  I have no back problems or aches or pains at all and definitely have no intention of getting rid of it!  This is the only chair I expect to be using as long as I'm transcribing!

Herman Miller Chair
Thanks for the input! That name keeps popping up, so it must be one of the best. Of course, I have to sit in a chair before I'll buy one, but I think maybe one of my upstairs neighbors has one. Maybe he'll let me check it out.

Thanks again for your help!
Herman Miller chairs
Thanks for your advice. Both replies to my email suggested this chair, and one of my neighbors did, as well. I guess I'll have to see if the neighbor will let me come over and sit in it for a while, so I can be sure. I can't afford ANY chair right now (now 'til my production improves, as all my accounts are new to me right now), but I figured in the meantime I'd start shopping around so I'd know what I want someday when I DO have some money.

herman miller chair that I also love.  mine was the middle of the road.  I believe something like $630.  well worth it.
I get to take 2 Herman Miller chairs to try!
No one in my neck of the woods sells these things, except for a place 200+ miles away.  This business supply place, however, regularly makes trips out my way to set up office furniture and said they have demo chairs they would be happy to let me test out for 2 weeks at no charge!  So, I have an Aeron and Mirra Chair here in my little office and I'll be putting in a full week's work on each one!  So, if you have wanted to try one of these chairs but not pay for it before making a decision, I HIGHLY recommend just asking if you can test drive a demo one for a week or two.  I honesly had no idea they did such a thing so I just thought I'd share the fact that it is possible! 
Herman Miller Aeron Chair
It is the best chair money can buy. I have had mine now for 3 years and have never experienced any kind of back pain. In fact, in the last 2 in-house positons I have had, I have taken my Aeron chair with me - and everyone is envious! It is a lot of money up front, but money well spent.
RE Herman Miller Aeron Chair below..
I looked up the Herman Miller Aeron chair on the internet to see what all the fuss was about after reading these posts. I noticed the chair looks a lot like the one I got from Office Max. I'm not sure what the name of mine is, but it is a VERY comfortable, fully adjustable chair. I've not seen anything like it. I paid $79 as it was on sale from about $139. I noticed that this Herman Miller is much, much more expensive.  Just thought some of you might like to check out Office Max's line. I love mine!
Nothing better than a Herman Miller Aeron Chair!!! nm

Herman Miller Mirra Chair help!
Looking into buying one of these and would like to know how good it really is!  Anyone out there with one who can help me?  Can the arms come off easily as never use them when working?  Do you need the loaded version with the tilt limiter? Any help would be appreciated.
Aeron chair by Herman Miller
Although it is pricey, I highly recommend the Aeron chair. I bought one a few years back when I was having back trouble and carpal tunnel issues from sitting and working 12-16 hours most every day. This chair really made a difference! It comes in different sizes for different people and will adjust practically any way you want it.

Prices will vary so do a web search for Aeron chair and look for the best price.

As a side note, for the tailbone pain, I bought a coccyx cushion and I don't have the pain whatsoever anymore. It's wonderful.
Does anyone use a Herman Miller Aeron chair for work and if so, do you like/love it? nm

If one cannot afford the Herman Miller Aeron chair (wish), can someone recommend a less..sm
expensive chair that has most of the features?  I am primarily interested in neck/back support with the ability to adjust as needed.  I live in a fairly remote area and the only office equipment stores I have access to are Office Depot and Office Max.  I have one from Office Max but it was a cheap one and doesn't offer much.  I need to invest in a good one, but don't have the $900 for the Herman Miller.  So, if anyone has any suggestions, I would love your advice.  TIA!
Love my Ergohuman chair! I had a Herman Miller but did not care for it....sm
it was just not comfortable to me. I sold it and bought an Ergohuman and love it! It is less expensive too...about $600 I think. I do not use the arms though they are adjustable several ways, in and out and up and down. They are not detachable but you can push them out of the way. I bought mine on the web..several places sell them.
Herman Munster.......LOL

That sure beats the $900+ I spent on my Aeron Miller chair ! - nm

Herman's Hermits - Mrs. Brown You Have A

it was the first concert I ever went to.  I remember a teenage girl behind me crying her eyes out and screaming 'HERMAAAN!  HERRMAAAAAN!'


He looked like PeeWee Herman. nm
