Herman Miller Aeron review
The commenter bought a used Aeron and had issues but came back to report positively. They explain that you really need to get out top of the box ASAP and check the foam and stress cracks within a day to catch issues like broken parts or if you're getting an armchair from your grandma. The idea is that you need to move fast when new from you. If you're willing to throw down some money and do some legwork, you should check once a day and check locations farther from you. If you are willing to drive an hour or two, you can get something better within your budget. Overall they frame used Herman Miller purchases as viable if you're diligent and willing to travel.
Pros
- Can find good deals if willing to travel and search regularly
- Viable option with proper inspection and diligence
Cons
- Need to inspect immediately and thoroughly for foam and stress cracks
- Requires daily checking of listings
- May need to drive 1-2 hours to find good options
