  • What is too much?

    And how much do you want to pay for a comfy seat and no back or arm problems?

    I have a Herman Miller Aeron. I'd never heard of them 10 years ago, but as soon as I did and tried one, I've not regretted it one bit. And in that time its still as it was when I bought it - no squeaks, no looseness, no soft/squashed seat, back rest or arm pads. And more to the point no arm, back or bum pain

    i have no idea how much is cheap, thats why I am asking. off the top of my head no more than £50.00 tops. you never mentioned how much you paid for the Herman, or where you got it from????

    I bought this about 6 years ago. I wasn't expecting much for my money but it's surprisingly comfy and supportive (i have an inward curvature of lower spine - lumbar lordosis ..a symptom associated with my condition)..better than other chairs i've had at twice the price.

    6 years, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooow, thanks for this and a bargin for £34.99

    after sitting in a nice chair in the library, I realised how much I need a new chair.

    trouble is, most of the suggestions so far are mail order, I want to visit a store to try a chair so can be sure it suitable for both me and DH.

    tried PC world, Staples 20 miles away.

    can anyone suggest other stores ?

    Good price, indeed. Wonder about quality.

    Entering this Cat. No. code: d4-384 180 you can purchase in Staples on-line similar Impulse leather faced chair for the same price of 34.99 (but ex. VAT :( ). Without using that code you can also find Impulse chair in the on-line catalogue, but then it is 10 pounds more expensive.

    At the moment in Staples on-line you can also receive with any order over 39 pounds free set of 4 Jamie Oliver wine glasses (code to use in checkout: D4-74823), exp. 03/12/10.

    Use also TopCashBack or Quidco for moneyback.
