Today ive received my new Herman Miller Chair. So beginning of January i decided to do something about my posture and started to look for a new chair. The reason while i did this was my veins and muscles started to cramp and i was thinking im putting too much pressure on my body and its parts while im sitting 10+ hrs in my chair a day. So the look for a new chair started. By the way if i never visited the poker forums i would die stupider for sure. I had not a clue about chairs before, just one pro decided to buy this newest Herman Miller Embody chair and that hit touchdown to me as well. I read a whole bunch of reviews and decidede to buy myself a chair. I was really really about buying the Embody but seriously it costs 3,000 dollars here in Europe. I could buy a used car for that type of money, so i decided i will set a budget and put a maximum of 1,000 bucks for the chair. Business is going slowly i have some goals set for this year and the 2 things just dont fit very well together...
I dont have to mention that nothing fit the bill to my tastes, when again one of my poker buddies told me to buy it on Ebay. Off to Ebay and an hour mailing back and forth with a UK retailer i was purchasing my 3mnths old Herman Miller Aeron chair. Today it arrived in the mail and at first look the packaging scared the shit out of me. First it was half torn apart, i knew im buying used stuff, but it was stated as AS NEW CONDITION.... so i fell for this advertisement and bought it. As the parcel guy brought stuff to hotel i had to ask him for an extra 5 EUR to help me bring it home as i will use it there. So im home, unpacked the chair, and the chair was half way put together, which was totally cool by me, as i didnt have to do the heavy construction work :)))
I checked every single part like 10 times, i wanted to know where exactly is there a difference between a used and brand new chair, but other than the packaging and the price i couldnt find any difference... Sweet... time to try out the new baby...
I must be dreaming... I compared the 2 chairs side by side... its not comparable... In my old chair i felt the stiffness in my legs the heavyness of shoulders and that im kind of sitting uncomfortably... Now the new chair when i sit in it was a whole new story... It reliefs all the stress from my body... So unreal... I couldnt believe it myself... You just have to realize this... I mean when i read the reviews i was like yeah people can talk this stuff into their brain and feel the difference afterwards... but seriously this is no commercial gimmick... its so unbelievably comfortable i will have to test it how it performes in the long run, but im pretty sure this was 760 dollars well invested. Plus if i wanted to buy it in Slovakia as brand new it would be 1900. Sweet deal ... sweet chair.... Love it...
Its so adjustable, you can turn the armrest to outside normal or inside depending on wether u use keyboard or mouse... it has a tilt control so it does not allow you to lean backwards e.g. when u work ... but these things are just tiny little details that make the chair supercomfortable... I cant even think about what the Embody does for u as that is the newest version of the Aeron plus some new extras.... Crazy stuff... If you spend a whole lot of time in a chair and your company does not provide you a good one or u just sit in front of your pc at home a lot, i would definitely recommend investing in one... This is one of your investments in life that for sure considers your health and well being, you will never regret it...
Here is a review and some pictures of the chair....

I love love love Herman Miller chairs! I just found this site that sells preowned Aerons, its called preownedaerons.com actually! My coworker got a chair and it doesn't even look like its been sat in.
I had one of these chairs when I worked at E&Y. It's horrible to have in your first job because you can't possibly appreciate it when you compare it to the ones you get at the next job!
