Aeron Chair

My feedback as a recent purchaser of an Aeron Chair from Unwanted.

The transaction was smooth, and although the lumbar pad was missing from my order, it was a very minor issue, and I was glad that Unwanted was upfront about this and informed me when the order arrived. I received the lumbar pad separately after a couple of weeks.

Installation of the chair was very simple and only took about 10 minutes total. The lumbar pad installation was 2 minutes tops.

I would purchase again from Unwanted with no reservations at all.

FAQ:

Difference between Hard castors and standard castors?

Ans: Standard castors is fine on carpet and still works on hard floors.

Hard Castors has an additional rubber coating for better grip and traction to reduce gliding from chair on hard floor.
Your chair keeps better in place even on smooth surface so you are less likely to get out of position.


What's the setting for fully loaded?
Ans: It's with adjustable arms, forward tilt and tilt limiter. You will have to add on the rest separately.

Headrest's difference?
Ans: Please check out:
http://deluxeforums.hardwarezone.com.sg/70237863-post461.html

I personally highly recommend the fully adjustable mesh headrest.


Posturefit VS Lumbar pad's difference?
Ans: Posture fit can control exactly how much support with a knob, it can't go up-down and is fixed in position. Lumbar Pad can go up-down movement but with only two length of depth for support

I will recommend Posture fit, it not only supports the spine but the lower back muscles.
If you slouch, the lumbar pad may be pushed out of position.

Had not heard any complains before on Posture Fit, but sometimes on the lumbar pad.

Is it worth to get the Polished Aluminium?
Ans: Actually the polished aluminium is not only for the better look. IMHO the Chrome Plating seems to make it harder to scratch or scratches less visible.

Why it takes so long to arrive?
Even if you order from the local A.D, there's a good chance you will have to wait as long if it's not available on ready stock.
We go by ship which takes a long time to sail.
It's not only able to significantly reduce the cost of the chairs.
It reduces the chance of damage as handling by air freight is typically very rough compare to ocean freight.
When you go with air freight, they care about speed, not handling.
For Sea ship, there may be delays, subjected to
  • Enviromental factors - Weather or route taken for the best safety.
  • Customs delays - Need to pay for GST, apply permits, have inspections, etc
  • Warehouse delays - Need to que to unload
  • Fumigation process

So please be patient with your delivery as there's no way we can dictate the ship to sail faster nor have any tracking to know the exact location.


How long it typically takes to arrive?
If yours is an order with configuration listed on the MO, it's typically 8-10 weeks for delivery, but we always order in ahead of time so the waiting time narrows a little.

If your order is a configuration out of those listed on the MO, a custom ordered chair.
It will take much longer for delivery and subjected to delays.
As your order has to be made specially just 1 and have to fit into our available sailing dates.
Your chair may arrive too early, or come too late and need to wait for the next available sailing slot.

Typically a custom ordered chair takes 6-10 weeks just for Herman Miller to ship to the Vendor and the Vendor takes another week to ship to the Coast for shipping.
Shipping process takes about 6 weeks.

So it's necessary to wait at least 13 weeks for custom ordered chairs.

Once it's cleared from Singapore Customs, it only takes 1-2 days to arrange delivery on our side.
If self pick up, it will be fast, probably able to collect on next day.
If courier delivery, will take a little longer as the courier need to schedule on their own.
So you can see it's never us who is delaying, a bulk of the waiting time is actually from HM.

There won't be much available for Oct's delivery, mostly taken.

If we are lucky, there will be another shipment for early Nov.

For those looking for Size B with graphite legs and Embody, the next shipment will be in November.

You can start placing orders in advance.
There won't be a lot as usual, we can't guarantee there will be any left when we release what's available for November at the end of this month.

If you are referring to the depth of seat, embody is, not aeron.
However, do note only aeron can fit a third party fully adjustable headrest.

Embody


Aeron

You can try at the authorised dealer's showroom.
We don't have trial pieces but just mass ordering.

Refer to the size chart at page 1 will be more accurate.
