Can ownself go read up on reviews for the seller to gauge how long sea shipping will take. I think on average sea shipping will take 3-4 weeks. Remember someone posted previously he finally received his M57(don't whether is it bought on shopee) after 3 wks+.

I ordered my Sihoo M57 from a seller on Shopee for about $188. Took almost 4 weeks to reach me. But it was well worth it.

Now that seller delist Sihoo M57 liao.

So far, cheapest I found now on Shopee is $285 liao.

It is ok. Think it is a good entry level chair for people who allocated lower budget for chairs.

There is no right or wrong. End of the day, people spent their $$ and they song, can liao.

Just like people like to say : Aiya, those people buying Lambo / Ferrari are crazy. If I am them, I will just use the money to buy condo. Car is a depreciating asset.

But I tell them : Maybe they already bought many condos liao. They buy the Lambo / Ferrari liao, still got left over $$ that they can still buy more condos if they want.

No ,it can't compare like buying Lambo or condo sort of . For me I been buying those $150- 200 office chair for 5 to 6 Pcs already. All of them still give me backache, only Herman Miller doesn't , even the most basic range.

So sometimes cheaper end up paying more

Hi Aeron users/potential buyers, just a heads up. I went down to Xtra last Sat to try and order an Aeron Size C carbon. Total is $2059 and checked with them if it’s China or USA set. They do bring in USA set, which is what I got. Sticker shows Made in USA on 29 March 2021. So interested bros can go enquire as well.

Talking bout Aeron, I checked herman miller website and carbon has been replaced with black. Looks like the gaming Aeron.

Some people just not willing to pay premium for a premium build chair. No right or wrong.

Same like some people will never go to a restaurant and always choose cheaper food options like cai png.

Anyway for me is I am willing to spend on the things I use everyday, such as a good bed, chair, TV, mobile phone etc. I don't scrim and save to get lower quality products for the stuff that I use almost everyday. To me it's worth spending money for. Don't have to cheap out on these stuff as these are things that are use daily. Saving that extra money on a cheap bed won't make me rich, but it gives better quality of life. A better mobile phone or laptop gives better convenience as its much faster with better performance. I don't skim on these stuff.

Same goes for chairs which I use everyday for work. Get the best for posture, build quality and warranty and no need to cheap out. It's your body and you live once.

Some prefer to be cheap and everything in their life has to be the cheapest. No right or wrong as well.

Generally I have same concept
But will never pay premium for so called “premium” that actually uses inferior/problematic materials and is premium due to name or hype. Although, depending on the products, I do also buy OEM if price differs greatly but quality is generally there minus some extras. It’s a no brainer.

Yup there are certain products that have OEM such as laptops, certain chairs,

there isnt a fake aeron at all.

fake aerons are easy to spot from the physical out look already.

Anyway just buy from shopee.

i bought mine after credit rebates and platform vouchers...only 1350+ if i not wrong. $1548 - $120 ( platform voucher) - 5 percent credit card rebates
