How many here own an Aeron office chair? Did you buy it new, used, or refurbished? I hear enough horror stories about worn out used Aeron chairs that I don't know that I want to go used. It seems like some of the companies that refurbish the chairs do a very good job, and others barely do anything to their refurbished chairs. One has Youtube videos showing how they refurbish the chairs and exactly what parts they replace on every chair. They also explain how some of the older chairs are different than newer Aeron chairs. The changes on the new chairs make them better, not cheapen the product.
I don't know if it is worth the nearly $1500 (with tax) for a new Aeron chair with all the options. Eliminating some of the extra options would reduce the cost, but I might want the extra options.
