Herman miller austin

Inspired by another thread about what office chair to use... can you recommend any places to go to try out office chairs.
I've had a few cheaper office chairs (WFH) and I can see the benefits of spending more to get something like a Herman Miller, but I'd really want to try before I buy for something so expensive.
I'm in the south, but I'm sure there are others around the country in a similar position to me that would appreciate any recommendations.

Anyone have experience with the Aeron posture fit accessory? I have a pretty old HM Aeron (early 2000s) and interested in the posture fit to keep me sitting up straighter. I have noticed this chair as-is lends to a lot of poor posture throughout the day.

I currently have a SecretLab titan that is around 4 years old but the leather on it is starting to crack and it just doesn't look very good anymore. I was doing some research on office chairs and stumbled across posts on this subreddit saying you can get used or refurbished HM embody chairs for under 500 dollars but when I search in my area (Big City) on my FB marketplace or other websites the cheapest I find is 1.2-1.3k.
How are you guys finding cheap HM chairs in good condition? Also how well do the HM chairs like the embody hold up for heavy use? I sit A LOT on my chair and I dont want something that I will have to replace in 3-5 years again.

So I have a Herman Miller Aeron chair used for $400 on marketplace. I got a buyer that sent a cashier's check via priority mail. The amount was 5 times the price of the chair. He said the extra was to pay movers with. He said to deposit the check and after it clears he'll send the movers. Frankly, it smells of a scam but how?

Are there shipping delays currently for Herman Miller? I remember seeing posts a while back saying that they were pretty backed up and that expected delivery dates were being pushed back. Is this still the case?

I always see this sub in my feed, and never heard of Herman Miller before. I’m just assuming they are very nice chairs? I just didn’t know they had a community around them. Are they gaming chairs? What makes them so good? I know they are hella expensive is all I know.😂

Selling my Herman Miller Embody It’s perfect Condition Fully Loaded Retails for 2,000+ I want 800$ , I’ve looked and it’s 100$ cheaper then any on the market so I’m pretty firm on price, if you any questions lmk. Great chair just don’t use it.
Thanks

I’ve had this Herman Miller Aeron chair for a few years now and never really understood the hype. I sat in a friends chair recently and it turns out they are actually incredible and my chair is just too big for me lol.
Wondering if anybody else is in a similar position as me and would be willing to make a trade.
The chair is in perfect working condition and comes with the Posturefit back support, adjustable arms, and tilt limiter seat angle.

With a lot changed between Free Agency, a few trades, and the NFL Draft, it seemed like a good time to reset a bit and look around the NFL for the roster situations team-by-team at the RB position. The episode of Fantasy For Real below covers the NFC RB Rooms post-draft.

DISCLAIMER: I use publicly available information about NFL contracts to draw conclusions about their structure. This can be a flawed process, but hopefully these publicly available reported contract figures are close enough to reality that the contract discussions have proper merit.
NFC RB Rooms
For the write-up today, instead of going Division-by-Division like the AUDIO podcast version of Fantasy For Real, I’m going to split teams up by how much addition has been made. There is a bit of subjectivity here, not just in who the team brought in, but in who they already have. For example, a 6th Round Pick going to a relatively open room can be a significant addition. A 6th Round Pick going to a team with Bijan Robinson is significantly less impactful.
NO CHANGE RB Rooms
Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks
As mentioned above, the Falcons did add an intriguing physical talent in Jase McClellan, but given who Bijan Robinson is, I’m considering this a “No Change” situation. Both Bijan Robinson and the lead RB for the Lions, Jahmyr Gibbs, are under contract through at least 2026 with a team option for the 2027 season (3 + 1). David Montgomery has a reasonable cap hit in 2025, but could save the team most of his cap hit if he were cut. For New Orleans, it seems very unlikely that the Saints will be able to retain Alvin Kamara without a significant reworking of his contract after 2024. This is certainly possible, but at 29 this season and 30 next year, it seems more likely this is Kamara’s final year with the team. That said, Jamaal Williams has a decent chance to be with the Saints for all three years of his contract including 2025 if he stays healthy, and the Saints have Kendre Miller (three years remaining) as well. The Seattle Seahawks have two highly drafted RBs under rookie contracts in Kenneth Walker III (two years remaining) and Zach Charbonnet (three years remaining).
FA CHANGE RB Rooms
Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, Dallas Cowboys, Washington Commanders
The Dallas Cowboys pretty much deserve to have their own section of this conversation. They have Ezekiel Elliott, Rico Dowdle, Royce Freeman, and Deuce Vaughn (three years remaining). The biggest talking point for the Cowboys might be the RBs around the NFL like Javonte Williams, Samaje Perine, or Khalil Herbert from this next team who could all theoretically become available for one reason or another. While many liked the low-cost tandem of Roschon Johnson (three years remaining) and Khalil Herbert (expiring contract), the Bears paid a sizable contract to former Lions & Eagles RB D’Andre Swift in Free Agency this year. Swift will be locked into a sizable investment on the Bears for at least the next two seasons. Swift’s 2026 cap hit is feasible, but most of it can be avoided by cutting Swift, so it is far from guaranteed. Both the Minnesota Vikings and the Washington Commanders brought in older RBs in Aaron Jones and Austin Ekeler respectively to one-year contracts. Both teams also have a home-grown 3rd-year RB behind their new veterans in Ty Chandler (two years remaining) and Brian Robinson Jr. (two years remaining). While I wouldn’t recommend paying too much for either, it is fair to say those are two of the best situated handcuffs considering the age, injury history, and new locations of the backs in front of them.
DRAFT CHANGE RB Rooms
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers, Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams
I profiled the AFC first, but the NFC got all the major shake-ups, including the top two drafted RBs in Jonathon Brooks to Carolina and Trey Benson to Arizona. This piece and the contracts within really highlight some of the value that Brooks and Benson bring to the table: both players have been assessed at a fairly high talent grade and given a four year commitment alongside those assessments. Brooks is recovering from an ACL injury and has a fairly crowded room around him (Rashaad Penny – Expiring ; Chuba Hubbard – Expiring ; Miles Sanders – Likely Cut after 2024), but no individual is likely taking too much work from Brooks if he is healthy given the capital investment. James Conner (expiring contract), when healthy, is a much bigger roadblock for Trey Benson, but it is also important to mention that aside from just the expiring contract, the 29-year-old RB has never been healthy for a full season in his entire NFL Career. Conner’s career high is 15 Games Played and he has played in 13 or fewer games in five of the last six seasons.
If Christian McCaffrey (two years remaining ; some cap savings, but unlikely to cut given who McCaffrey is without major injury) was a bit younger, he would be getting the Bijan Robinson treatment and the San Francisco 49ers would be in the top group, but now a 28-year-old RB, it’s important to bring up a player like Isaac Guerendo (four years remaining). Guerendo is a bit limited in ways you may not expect for a bigger RB, but as an outside runner similar to Raheem Mostert, there is a lot of upside here. Elijah Mitchell (expiring contract) remains a potentially more likely #2 RB if healthy. How the Los Angeles Rams plan to deploy Kyren Williams (two years remaining) and Blake Corum (four years remaining) is very tricky. On the one hand, there is ample evidence that Sean McVay’s instinct is to rely on a single back. On the other hand, what McVay has done has not worked for the Rams nearly as well as it has worked for fantasy managers, and keeping Kyren Williams healthy by rotating drives with a similar player who does not need to leave the field (for the drive) makes a lot of sense on paper. This is nature versus intention in my eyes, as I do think the intention is clearly going to be to use Corum to take drives away from Kyren. Finally, not too big of an addition, but the Tampa Bay Buccaneers added the scrappy, small, and oddly physical pass catching back Bucky Irving (four years remaining). The biggest trick will be to figure out if Irving is a thorn for the pass catching of Rachaad White (two years remaining). White’s best tool is his pass catching, so if he cedes those plays to Irving, you have to hope that his rushing efficiency finally takes a leap.
FA+DRAFT CHANGE RB Rooms
Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles could arguably be in the FA section just because of how different these investments are. The Eagles added Saquon Barkley on a contract that appears to be locked in for two years with at least some substantial dead money in Year 3. Barkley being who he is, he will definitely be the guy, but behind Barkley or should Barkley get injured, the Eagles have incumbent Kenneth Gainwell (expiring contract) and new rookie Will Shipley (four years remaining). Shipley is not the most flashy, but I think he is a bit underrated in this specific context where he can be a three-down handcuff (should he beat out Gainwell). The team that Barkley departed, the New York Giants, are trying to fix the RB room by committee and/or lower investments, bringing in Devin Singletary with their main investment. Singletary is likely under contract through 2025, though the figure for his 3rd year in 2026 is not too high. Aside from Singletary, the Giants have thrown darts the last two years at Eric Gray (three years remaining) and Tyrone Tracy (four years remaining). Tracy is currently my favorite fantasy draft pick with an ADP of the fourth round of rookie drafts or lower due to his explosive upside and pass catching background, though Tracy’s lack of history at RB and advanced prospect age showcase some risks.
Finally, the Green Bay Packers are pretty much the only team in both conferences to truly make significant investments in both areas for the RB position. Josh Jacobs was signed by the Green Bay Packers to a complicated contract that has been discussed quite a bit, though I do think we may have gone a bit too far. While it is true that Jacobs can be cut for a cap “savings” after just one season, that “savings” is compared to a sizable cap hit and the dead cap is substantial, meaning the Green Bay Packers would have to pay a considerable amount of dead cap in 2025 to not have Jacobs on the roster, plus they would then need to fill his spot on the 53 with more money. The cap savings I’m seeing is under $2 mil, and so when you subtract a minimum contract figure from that for the 53 man roster spot you need to fill, the amount gets even smaller. It makes it feasible the Packers might cut Jacobs after 2024, but still very unlikely unless he were borderline un-rosterable. That said, Marshawn Lloyd (four years remaining) does enter a situation where he has a chance to maintain a smaller role like he did throughout college while allowing him to display potentially his dynamic playmaking and pass catching ability in an offense that can utilize both effectively. The Packers also still have AJ Dillon (expiring).

For podcast listeners, delayed release for Episode 26 because of Mother's Day among other things. I'm done with my first series of 2025 shows which can be found on this sub and by my profile. I’ll be around to answer any questions / comments about Redraft / Dynasty / Futures.

I want to buy Steelcase gesture or Herman miller embody in Zhejiang china . Even shanghai is okay for me . i already used these chair in my homecountry so cant go back to other chair . So does anybody knew any seller in china who does reselling of herman miller or Steelcase or any office liquidators .

Qué tal taqueros, ¿ustedes qué opinan de los escritorios eléctricos/elevables (standing desks)? ¿creen que es una buena inversión ya sea para chambeapara mejorar el setup por los beneficios que brindan para la salud? ¿qué marcas recomiendan o qué experiencia han tenido con alguno en particular?
Desde hace un tiempo para acá me ha salido bastante publicidad de dichos productos y la curiosidad hizo que me pusiera a investigar para ver de qué iban estas madres.
Investigué el catálogo de algunas marcas/empresas para comparar y ponderar alguna posible opción con base en mi presupuesto y las que más me llamaron la atención fueron las siguientes:

• Empresas Mexicanas de Escritorios Elevables: Cymisa, Euclid Furniture, Gebesa, Hago Escritorios, Jako, MoonStone, Mubson, Randu.
• Empresas Mexicanas de Mueblería: PM Steele, Línea Italia.
• Empresas Extranjeras de Escritorios Elevables: Autonomous, Cougar, Desky, ErGear, Eureka Ergonomic, FlexiSpot, Oakywood, Progressive Desk, SecretLab, Uplift, Vari, Vivo.
• Empresas Extranjeras de Mueblería: Fully/Herman Miller, IKEA, Jacob Bek, SteeleCase, Uline.

De igual modo, también le eché una revisada a los productos que vendían en las tiendas/cadenas como: Costco, Home Depot, Liverpool, Office Depot, Office Max, Walmart, etc, pero creo que no había algo que destacara en comparación a la lista anterior.
En Amazon y Mercado Libre también hay más variedad y son más baratos, sin embargo, no sé qué tan confiables sean porque hay marcas que ni tienen página web.
De hecho, hay un canal de YouTube que se dedica a hacer reseñas de escritorios elevables y de sillas ergonómicas, en este video hicieron un ranking de escritorios elevables - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FudUccGS5os

Just snagged a used Herman miller embody for a cool $450. The seat is a little beat up, but everything else is basically new, curious if anyone else has tried replacing the support springs for the seat, and if so is it a good idea?

Hiya! I’m a short gamer (5’1) whose beloved pink Autofull chair has started to get wobbly and will be in need of replacing soon. While I had to scrounge and save for months to buy my current chair 4 years ago, I’m now in a much better position financially and can afford to splurge for something more comfortable (especially as someone with chronic back pain). While I can’t afford to even approach Herman Miller territory, I am able to swing the SecretLab price tag without breaking the bank, which is why I’m here.
My question is, are there any short girlies here on the sub who have used a SecretLab chair? Was it comfortable? Did it last at least a few good years? I would love to know! :)

Hace poco estuve buscando una silla que no estuviera tan cara (no iba a pagar 30 mil pesos por una Herman Miller xd). Vi que recomendaban mucho la silla del Costco, pero entre a la página y vi que no tenía reviews la silla que aparece en la página: "Sealy, Lucky, Silla de Malla para Oficina".
Al final decidí arriesgarme y comprarla en la tienda aunque no tuviera reviews en línea y puedo confirmar que es una muy buena opción si tienes poco presupuesto. En la página al momento de escribir este post sale en $2,700 pero en tienda me salió en $2,000. Así que si están en busca de una buena silla económica para Home Office esa para mi tiene las 3 B.
