I'm about to sell a few Herman Miller aluminum group office chairs. They're the heat. Check em out on google/eBay and let me know if you're interested.

Only the armrests and base are aluminum. The seat is fabric. I've had two of them for years and they are by far the best sitting and best quality office chairs I've ever used. I would like to try an Aeron though.

those HMs are illegal. you cant legally sell 4 legged chairs anymore. They do still go for around $300 on ebay though.

If you want an Aeron, I can hook you up.

I myself use a Steelcase Leap chair, but I must say I dont like it.

All the HMs after 1987 or so have a five star base. You can see it in the pic I posted. I think that one was an 89.

You can still sell them used I believe. They just can't manufacture them anymore.

How much for a base Aeron?

attn: evan,

I got that same chair a few months ago and love it.

Correction, I got the previous model of that chair I believe, the only difference is the arms connect back around and the lower section of the back cushion are slightly different.

I might take you up on a used one sometime blas. I don't think I've seen one for less than $450 in the past, so it's definitely a good deal if they're in good shape. Do you normally have access to most sizes? I think I need a B or C if I remember correctly.

I've had one of the mesh Aerons for almost 5 years now at work, and my $50 fake leather Viking brand chair I got comes nearly as close in comfort. Seriously. I don't know if it is the desk setup nullifying the benefits of the Aeron, but it isn't like its a "dream" to sit in or anything.

Well mine is a Herman Miller, but i don't think it is what you are looking for.

Regardless, I'm not selling it.

Skack, what makes you so down with HM? And Im curious why you aren't calling them Eames chairs.

omg evan we have the same chair!

be careful tough, the pin on the bottom (left side) comes loose a lot. If it is loose and you don't know it, you'll lean back really far and everyone who sees you will laugh.

I got into Herman Miller stuff the first time I sat in an Eames Lounge like this one:




I don't really know the history behind the Herman Miller/Charles Eames relationship. If I had to guess I'd say that Eames was the designer and HM was the company that built a lot of his stuff? In any case, I've always been very impressed by all the Herman Miller stuff I've owned from credenzas to desks to chairs. It is top quality stuff and always very comfortable. It's like they took a mold of my ass/back and made furniture to fit.

I just like the looks of modern era furniture as well. It's very simple with clean lines and a good mix of natural/industrial elements. Good stuff. I actually have more Knoll stuff in the living space of my house right now though. It's more functional for my uses.

tis a nice chair. i am enjoying it right now. so comfortable.

i'd go as far as to say that it's the most comfortable chair i've ever sat in.

hahaha i'll be on the lookout for this. i'm really loving the thing where you can lock it from leaning back... that's cool.
