Whether it's the classic or remastered Aerons, they are great chairs.

The classics will be more preferred at the moment as it allows one to have a headrest. We were told that the development for the headrest for the remastered version is in progress.

We are getting a little hectic with other overseas projects, thus we will slow down the mass order and take a break in later months. The quantity that will take in will be lesser as we are short of warehousing space.

hi, can I check what is the lifespan of a herman miller chair before it have to be replaced totally?

I am interested to get one as my current chair's lifespan is around 5 years before all the wear and tear kicks in..

We've not seen a severely worn chair since the start of this MO.
The most common problem are probably the casters, which are easily replaceable.

I've a mix of Aerons that are 5 years old and 15 years old in my office and they are all functioning as expected.

*If (1st 2 digits of 6-digit postal codes) starts with 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07 or 08= $40. The rest are $30.

FAQ:
Which is better? Embody or Aeron?
Ans: Embody is cushioned and will score higher in term on comfort.

Aeron will feel a little stiffer but has a notch up in support, particularly if the user gets the headrest


Where is it made from?
Ans: Our stock are from USA, and they are made in the most advance factory in Zeeland USA.
Only Asian resellers are selling made in China stock.


What's the difference between the Classic and Remastered Aerons?
Ans: They work the same. Just using new sustainable material and some redesign to the mechanisms. The ergonomics and how it work largely remains the same.

Headrest's difference?
Ans: Check http://www.unwantedimports.com/aeron-chairs-size-customization/

What version of Aeron chair do you have?
We only have the fully loaded version with every feature included, that's the highest tier of Aeron chair. Not only that, we have the headrest upgrade and the exclusive premium hard casters from Germany. There are no sellers that can improve it further in the world.



Where is it made from?
Ans: We only purchase from USA direct from the original factory in USA with stricter protocol for quality control. Not any from the regional China factory for Asian market.


What size should I be taking?
Ans: Refer to the following chart.
jc3MM.gif


The majority of Asians are size B.
A chair too large will affect the user's dexterity to tilt due to insufficient mass or at the wrong angularities.


What are hard casters?
Ans: Casters are the wheels of the chairs.

Standard BB casters are for carpet , they are hard wheels with no additional protection coating.

Hard floor casters are with a softer polyurethane coating on the wheels which increase the amount of traction, to keep the chair from gliding away easily. The coating also reduces noises during rolling and reduce the chance of scratching.

The hard casters that we have are German-made from the same OEM factory as the original that are more durable and more stable in its quality. It can be used on carpet too. They come with roll away resistance, a subtle braking system that keeps your chair from rolling too far away when not in use. They are also with the latest noiseless roll technology, which greatly reduce the amount sound from vibration when rolling.

It is important for the user to keep the casters away from aggressive liquid detergent and keep the wheels from direct sunlight. The habit of stepping on the wheels may result in disintegration.
Do note that hard casters breaking down within 5 years due to poor compatibility with the flooring, will be replaced with standard BB casters.

For more information:
http://www.unwantedimports.com/shop/herman-miller-hard-casters-2-5/



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

Headrest's difference?
Ans: Check http://www.unwantedimports.com/aeron-chairs-size-customization/


We personally highly recommend the fully adjustable mesh headrest.


Posturefit VS Lumbar pad's difference?
Ans: Posture fit has a knob to control the depth of support required.

The cushion is softer, more comfortable and supports the back via the low back muscles rather than a hard piece pushing against the spine like the lumbar pad.


Lumbar pad has only two depth of support and is stiffer.
A common issue is it can be pushed out of position easily.


Is it worth to get the Polished Aluminium?
Ans: 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 in ready stock.

We go by sea ship that takes a long time to sail.
It's not only able to reduce the cost of the chairs, but it also reduces the chance of damage from handling by air freight is typically very rough if you compare to ocean freight.
When you go with air transportation, they care about speed, and parcels dumped around.
For Sea ship, there may be delays, subjected to
  • Enviromental factors - Weather or route chosen for the best safety.
  • Customs delays - Need to pay for GST, apply permits, have inspections, etc
  • Warehouse delays - Need to queue 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.

Hi,

That's an interesting but valid question, thank you.
If any company, be it an authorised local distributor, or a mass order goes busted and vanish. Usually, there goes the warranty.
For us, we already laid our tracks beyond that.

You can refer to the following page for more answers.

No we don't get lighter colour leather as dye transfer from clothing, especially denim, is permanent and easy to happen.
