Same, I bought a herman miller chair new about 6 years ago, there is no used chair that I could find in India.

But even when bought new, something that gets used so much everyday is worth the price.

+1 for this. I bought my Herman Miller Aeron new almost 20 years ago now and I still love it & use it every day. Immediately fixed some (very mild) back trouble I was having.

It probably won't fit the Shopify budget, it's super expensive. But having the same chair used in recording studios and is officially a work of art in the Museum of Modern Art [1] still makes me smile every day I go to sit down to work.

Yeah, I bought the executive Aeron because I couldn't stand so much plastic and it cost an eye watering £1200.

But I'd spent £300 on a chair before it that didn't last three months, wasn't as adjustable or comfortable, I couldn't get a refund on and for which there are no spares on eBay. 10 years in it's looking like a great buy.

which herman miller did you bought? and what's the price there?

Also not OP and I also have a Mirra 2. There is a school of thought that as the Aeron is a design classic they can't really iterate on it. The Mirra has been great for me.

Not OP but I have a Mirra 2, I liked it better than the Aeron or Embody. I do really suggest you go someplace where you can try it out, also the various sizes. I bought refurb, don't remember price.

I got the sayl chair. It was around INR 45,000 I believe at that time. The aeron was around INR 85,000.
