$350 can buy me 7 brand new chairs. Ya'll are so picky about sitting. And yes, my back is a-ok.

Mine is not, I deal with chronic pain. Plus EY will reimburse me for 75% of it

I use this one. It’s a good deal.

$350 is spot on for the average price of a second hand Aeron. I bought mine for $300 on Facebook marketplace as well and the range was between $300-$400 of all the ones I saw advertised.

Meh. Are the gaming chairs sold out?

I had those chairs at work for years and they’re usually 3x+. They do break surprisingly fast, though, but it’s all the unnecessary bits. The main char lasts decades. Check what year it’s from, as it may only be worth $350 and be less than ideal condition.

Hermen millers are nice but pricy. That’s how much I paid for a brand new knock off. I’d say go for it 🤷‍♂️

Absolutely get yourself a good chair. You spend half your life on it. 350 is a good price for Aeron

I got one at Costco that looks better than that for like $250 new

OP - yes, that is a good deal for the Aeron. If any parts need replacement, you can order from HM directly. They are relatively easy to install.

good deal

Yup. It’s a very good deal as long as this person selling didn’t buy it refurb from Madison seating etc.

What platform is this?

Facebook Marketplace, aka better craigslist

yes, good price. but if EY reimburses you 75%, you should just buy new

i bought mine used and the armrests won’t stay in position - the wheel that locks them in position is extremely difficult to turn. apparently it’s a common problem, but requires a bit of effort to fix, so i haven’t bothered 😕

That is good to know! I'm not in a position where I can afford new, unfortunately ☹️ Maybe next chair

Can someone explain what’s special about these chairs? Like why the high cost and why should someone pay for these? Curious to know, thanks!

Looking for a home office chair…I need something really ergonomic/comfortable but given the visibility of the office in the house the wife wants something stylish.

I feel like I’ve looked everywhere (Steelcase, Herman Miller, humanscale, Haworth, xchair, etc).

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
