This man flipped office chairs successfully, clearly I’m doing something wrong in life

Hello there! I work for a Herman Miller Dealer and I honestly learn more with your video than with our training videos. Such a good job showing off the chair and explaining the mechanisms!

[gillythekid]

today I picked up an Aeron. I know you said watch out for the gears, but this chair was immaculate (aside from the dust) and came with the adjustable add-ons and the lumbar pillow. checked under the chair, manufactured in 1999.

I paid 60 dollars.

Bro, you're holding a stereo recorder sideways. So you're speaking into one microphone, and it causes the audio to drop in and out. Great video, if you can always see the face of your recorder then it will record stereo and the audio we here will be perfect. Cheers.

This channel just came out of nowhere... The video quality, presentation and depth of substantive info you provide is top-notch - I love that you get right to the point and have minimal fluff/filler. There's nothing worse when an otherwise good vid overdoes it with unnecessary memes and transitions thrown in seemingly every 10 seconds... Keep up the good work, I see big things for your channel in the future!

The feature you talk about at 4:20 is intended for people who are writing/drawing on a piece of paper. If you're anything along the lines of an engineer/mathematician or artist this feature can be extremely useful, and is definitely a factor which should be taken into consideration when buying an office chair.

Got a Herman miller Aeron for free! After a new apartment building by my university was done being build, the construction workers just left all their chairs (HM Aeron) out on the sidewalk with signs to take for free!

Quarantine Day 40


Youtube : Hey, want to watch a video about chair?

Me : Why not.

[VoteForPeter]

Managed to get one for completely free today (: The hospital I work at was about to throw it away and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I took it home and was soo excited when I looked at the bottom of the chair and read "Herman Miller". I want to sell it soo bad bc who doesn't love free money. I think I plan on keeping it though, my back will thank me over the years!

I was extremely lucky to pick up this chair for free! It's been a blessing as a full time student and video editor. My neighbor was renovating their home before moving and needed to get ride of their furniture. They invited me to grab anything I wanted for free and I snagged this chare the second I saw it.

Dude I just found out I have a higher end one that I have used for years and never knew. I just saw my chair and clicked. Seriously thanks

Two years old and still helping us dummies with this awesome chair. Thank you so much! I'm gonna leave a helpful comment below for anyone still reading, and this will address the point of chair smell and how to remove it. Yes, it is curry, and yes, it is one of the toughest household smells to deal with, but also YES, I managed to get rid of it.

The chair: 2017 Aeron, fully loaded. I ended up buying a 6 year old Aeron from an Indian gent in my area, and the chair did indeed come with that lovely smell of cardamom (and more haha!).

Condition: As the chair is cosmetically in very good condition, I first gave it a nice wipe down with a mild detergent (all over, including the seat and back). I actually used my bike cleaner here, but dish soap dissolved in water would do just as well I assume. Went in with nylon brushes to dust it off in every nook and cranny, and basically got it as clean as possible and fit to roll around my home office.

Scent removal: First, chucked the chair out on the balcony. That was gonna be its home for the next 5-6 days. Then, I took some salad-grade white vinegar, into a sprayer bottle, and proceeded to spray it down with vinegar twice or 3 times every day, focusing specifically on the seat and back, making sure the weave fabric is nice and soaked (but not dripping!). I would do this, let the chair dry outside, then go back and repeat, rubbing it down with a clean rag every time. On day 3, I also decided to sprinkle it with baking soda, as it is known for it's smell absorbing properties, just as vinegar is known for breaking down fat molecules that hold the scent. For the next 2-3 days, I went back to the vinegar treatment.

Result: In total, this took about 5-6 days, but now the chair is back inside, and about 95% scent-free. I can still smell a little bit when I really stick my nose into it, but definitely cannot smell anything in the house or even just sitting in the chair and moving around. I assume another few rounds of this white vinegar treatment would completely remove any residual scent.

Conclusion: Don't be too afraid of household smells. If the chair isn't stained, if it's been well looked after and just smells of some curry, chances are you can remove it. White vinegar and baking soda do wonders. Once you are done with these, you can use Fabreeze or something similar just to give it a nice fresh scent. Don't rely on fresheners to actually clean it, use the simple stuff that's been proven over decades. White vinegar, baking soda... amazing results.

EDIT: 1/21/22
I bought the forward tilt parts for $20 and installed in an hour or two; have been using it for a couple months now. Absolute gamechanger for me. I think this will be more relative if you're tallish or taller (I'm about 5'11"). It is virtually impossible to sit upright in this chair without forward tilt at my height, and I love this chair so much now. So my recommendation is to seriously consider trying to add the forward tilt if you find this chair too loungy / laid back.

Original:
Here to say that I just got my first used herman miller, and not having the forward tilt is feeling like a deal breaker for me. I'm going to give it a week or so before I go out and buy the add-on parts, but it just feels a bit too relaxed / inattentive for me. I prefer sitting up relatively straight and have some distance from my monitor ; it feels like I'm just too far back in this and like it encourages a hunch when I need to look at things more closely.

I just found your channel after watching a gamers nexus video about chairs. This is one of the rare times where the YT algo recommended someone awesome. I’m binging your content now and it’s awesome. Keep up the good work my dude!

I love these chairs. I bought my first Aeron about 12 years ago for $250 used but in mint cond. I recently bought another Aeron (no rips, fully functional with lock tilt & C size) for $15 from a thrift store. There were actually two chairs for sale, but another guy bought the other at the same time. He knew what he was buying and so we both were ticked pink with our find. To clean an Aeron chair try bleach and warm water to disinfect and get rid of odors. I do think the tilt lock is very useful if u plan on sitting in front of a computer. I don't find the front tilt useful. I also bought a mint condition Herman Miller Equa in Gray for $15 at another thrift store. Good buys to be had.

I thought "what a ridiculous vaper... then I realized it's your mic"

[nathanli]

i watched this video so many times over the past year, and today i finally got my 3rd hand aeron. thanks to your video i was confident in my used purchase.

one day ill be rich enough to buy it brand new :p

[complextheory]

I just bought my first Herman Miller Aeron yesterday using these tips! I ended up with a classic b size chair for $620 Canadian with tax. The only complaint that I have for the chair is that it makes my thighs a little sore, but that sensation quickly passes (I think this is due to my body getting use to it). Overall I'm really happy with the purchase!

[patchouli]

It took me 8 years into my Aeron ownership to start using the forward-tilt. I still use it daily, but what changed me was getting a correct height desk, able to flat foot the floor, and also adding a footrest (in addition to being able to flat foot), and the forward tilt started to make sense with better support on the floor. The forward tilt is also nice in situations where you briefly need to sit on the edge of the chair, more comfortable with the forward angle not having the chair bite into your thigh.
