a few things to consider when getting an aeron chair:
get the right size for yourself-
they come in 3 sizes, and it makes a giant difference. check their site for the fitting guide. i am a big guy, and i have a 3, and it makes a huge difference.
if you buy it used, you don't get the warranty-
this sucks, but at the same time, its very much worth getting it from a dealer.
you can search around and find an authorized dealer that will give you a good deal on one, especially if you tell them that you are a designer, usually they give you a break. mine had the tilt adjustment go out in it, and instead of fixing it, i got a completetly new chair. boom! no questions asked, it just arrived.the other really nice thing is that the warranty covers the new chair longer than it did the old chair, so in theory, i will have an aeron chair that is under warranty for about 20 years.
the dealer will also give you a loaner chair to test out, and if you have any problems you can get a loaner for a few days.
the dealer may also let you test out a mirra vs. an aeron for a few days to see which one you want.you can get them in colors-
if you want, you can throw down the extra coin and get the colored panels, or better, the chrome bits for the chair. these weren't available when i got mine, back in the day.
you won't be sorry.
