Best Office Chairs and Standing Desks

What makes the Herman Miller Aeron special?

The Aeron office chair replaces the foam padding found in most chairs with pellicle, a semi-transparent, and flexible mesh. Pellicle contours to the shape of your body while providing air circulation and temperature control.

It also reduces pressure on the back, legs, torso, and neck. The Aeron comes in different sizes and even has a separate, adjustable lumbar support attachment that you can buy and clamp onto the back.

What makes the Herman Miller Mirra special?

The Mirra office chair also does away with foam padding, replacing it with a perforated polymer backrest and a suspension seat called the AirWeave that disperses heat while equally distributing body weight.

The Mirra also leaves a reduced carbon footprint: it's 42% recycled material and 96% recyclable when complete.

How much control over the Herman Miller chairs do I get?

You can control the seat height, tilt tension, limit the tilt, and adjustable arm height and angle. And with the Mirra, you can also control arm width.

Do you carry replacement parts for Herman Miller chairs?

We do!

We have castors, backs, seats, and even a replacement gas cartridge for the Aeron. Each of these parts requires minimal effort to replace and will save you hundreds of dollars. Plus, by replacing parts rather than replacing your chair, you will also reduce your carbon footprint.

You can even buy paint to cover up scratches.

How does lumbar support work?

Lumbar support works by promoting proper spine alignment so that you sit in a natural sitting position. That way, you’ll have better circulation and experience less pain in your joints and back.

What’s the advantage of a mesh back?

A mesh back provides air circulation, which keeps you from getting too hot and developing a sweaty back.

What do I use to clean these chairs?

Standard office furniture cleaner and a damp cloth will do.

Can mesh be removed for washing?

No, but you can just wipe it down with a damp cloth and some office furniture cleaning. No need to worry about the mesh absorbing odors, either! It won’t.

Can the arms be removed on any of these chairs?

No, but many of these chairs have adjustable arms, while the ErgoStar Smart Black/White Chair with Flip Up Arms has arms that can be flipped out of the way.

What are waterfall seats?

Waterfall seats are seats with edges that slope slightly downward, like a waterfall. They provide added comfort thanks to equal weight distribution. They also take pressure off the backs of the thighs and knees, which improves circulation. The downward slope also further promotes improved posture.

Are there bulk discounts available for any of these seats?

Yes, all of our seats come with a price match promise. When it comes to Herman Miller chairs, we provide bulk discounts on our already discounted chairs. How do we keep our prices so low? The chairs are refurbished and, after passing a 20 point inspection, re-certified. These chairs are popular sellers and find their way into everything from startups to executive offices!

I’m concerned about how the wheels will work on my floors!

We sell hardwood and deep carpet casters. We also sell carpet chair mats. Just make sure you don’t accidentally buy the Active Ergo Anti-Fatigue Mat. While an excellent product, the Active Ergo Anti-Fatigue Mat is designed to be stood on rather than sat on. Its purpose is to reduce pressure on your feet and joints, and you just won’t reap that reward if you’re sitting on it.

Can the gas cylinders on these chairs be replaced?

Yes, if you notice the seats sinking, the cylinders are the most likely culprit. Rather than spending hundreds of dollars replacing a chair, just replace the cylinder!

It takes minimal effort, tools, experience, and time! Contact the chair’s manufacturer for the right cylinder or, in the case of the Herman Miller Aeron, you can order the cylinder directly from us!

What other replacement parts do you carry?

We carry replacement seat pan and mesh for the Herman Miller Aeron Chairs in three different sizes, replacement seats for the Herman Miller Mirra, and replacement armrests for the Herman Miller Aeron.

Can I use these chairs with a standing desk?

You can use these chairs with any desk.

The advantage of a standing desk (or a standing desk riser) is that alternating between sitting and standing improves circulation, relieves pain, and improves mental clarity and focus.

And when you stand on a product like the ActiveErgo Anti-Fatigue Mat, you make standing even more comfortable by reducing pressure on your feet and joints.

What are the benefits of a standing desk?

Alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day is good for circulation and relieves joint and back pain, and it also provides mental clarity and improved focus.

When coupled with a product like the ActiveErgo Anti-Fatigue Mat, standing becomes even more comfortable because further pressure is taken off your feet and joints.

How do I clean these desks?

Office furniture cleaner and a damp cloth will do. Make sure to choose a cleaner that’s appropriate for the material of each desk.

Are these desks easy to assemble?

Yes, these desks require minimal tools and experience, and one person can put them together.

How easily does the motorized standing desk transition in height?

Effortlessly! Either with a push of a button or by applying minimal pressure to a handle.

Is the motorized standing desks loud?

No, it’s quiet. Your air conditioner may make more noise.
