  What an over priced, over hyped POS.

  What does everyone sing the praises of this chair?

    Oh really, you can tell that from where you are?– 2cents2/4

  i concur with your disdain

  • Good to know I'm not alone. Seems everyone has a big chub for it, me thinks it's more about image than anything.– 2cents1/3

    It won industrial design awards... maybe you just don't like the people that sit in them. Guy.– Transit_Broadcast2/3

    IT always seems like whenever I sit in a chair and think "good god, why is this a chair?" it won an award.– ninjasavant3/3

  When I was contracting at Medtronic's headquarters, everyone, and I mean everyone, had one of those. I don't think it was the biggie, but it still felt like a nice chair to sit in for hours. Then months later I saw the price....

  it's comfortable--what else do you want?

  • It's not, that's the problem!– 2cents1/3

    did you get a size that hits the back of your leg in a bad place?– Dr_Rand2/3

    Yup, and it puts my leg to sleep. I've tried all the adjustments and can't find a happy spot.– 2cents3/3

  Bullshit & overpriced. I liked sitting in one at the office for a bit until I experience an Eames Management rip-off from Target Online that was 1/8 the price and 5x more comfortable.

  • Sean... you got to stop smoking that pipe.
    
    – Transit_Broadcast1/2

    +1. I've got one and it's super comfortable and looks miles better than an aeron.– jamble2/2

  I love em, wouldn't sit in anything else. Just bought a new one a week ago (true black w/ stainless steel and leather exec version), old one lasted 9 years of ass stench punishment. I can sit in it all day and night, and have, many times. Well worth the money.

  i seem to be always unsatisfied with my chair situation. can't find designed right for my body.

  or perhaps sitting at a desk 9-5+ isn't what the human body was designed for.

  • the latter– vnmbr

  i'd rather have one of these...which is even more expensive...which i will also never own.
  

  

  • We have these in our boardroom. Much more comfortable, but they make farty sounds.– 2cents1/3

  $200

  • not as sleek as the herman miller i posted above...but it's like 1/8th the price.– lvl_131/9

    was just looking at these online at Costco.. dirt cheap.. are you recommending?– horton2/9

    nah, i don't have one. but i may get one at this price! ridiculous!
    you buy it first? haha– lvl_133/9

    i need a chair with removable arms.. my chair now uses a similar design with support provided by arms.– horton4/9

    I've been thinking of getting one of these too. I wish the tilt and height adjuster wasn't so awful.– JackRyan5/9

    i have 8 of these. they look fantastic in person. i got them in black from target.com. comfy and smooth– ovsm6/9

    i also have the real HM chair right next to them, and visually, these look cooler. they aren't as stiff either– ovsm7/9

    are you f-ing retarded? You're saying that this monstasity of a rip-off is more refined than the Eames Mngt chair?

  I'm sitting on a dining room chair with a leg hanging off because I'm too lazy to pick up my office chair from storage. My back hates me. In fact, I hate me.

• nocomply

  The chair is actually pretty comfortable. I had it for a while at my desk before the studio owner/my boss stole it from me.

  My advice is to spring the extra $200 to get the movable arms.

  I think the chair is overpriced, but at least it's not a piece of shit.

  • yeah, the price is overdone for sure, but it's by no means uncomfortable.– dopepope1/3

    I have the movable arms, quite annoying actually.– 2cents2/3

    you whine to much 2cents. Hence, you are a whiner
