Buying an Ergonomic Aeron Office Chair
Before you purchase an ergonomic Aeron office chair, there are some things that you should know in order to ensure you purchase your chair from the right place and for the right price. This is important because there are so many places selling chairs that it can be overwhelming.
Availability
There are some questions you will need to keep in mind whenever searching for an ergonomic Aeron office chair. Ask whether the store has all of the 25 different colors that an ergonomic Aeron office chair comes in. Also ask if the store has all of the following upgrades in stock. Inquire whether the arm rests are available in double-stitched premium Herman Miller leather. The store needs to be authorized to sell Herman Miller products; this will not only ensure that you will get their discounts but that you will also receive a 12 year warranty on the product as well.
Features
Besides the standard casters, ask if they carry casters for hard floors, deep carpets and glides. Find out about the choice of a PostureFit back support system. If you are ordering online you should make sure that you will be able to receive your ergonomic Aeron office chair quickly via FedEx. (You will want to choose FedEx because there have been numerous reports online that have claimed that UPS has damaged their order.) More importantly, your chair should be shipped to you for free as many e-tailers have that option.
Price and Service
Make sure that the store offers a “lowest price guarantee”. This means that this dealer should either match or beat the prices of other stores and they should also offer discounts if you buy in quantity.
You will want to make sure that there is a certified repair service available just in case some part of your chair should happen to break or get damaged.
Herman Miller’s “You Know It” Program
Throughout your entire ordering process you will want to make sure that you are being kept well-informed and that the order for your ergonomic Aeron office chair is being handled efficiently. Everyone who helps your order should be a product specialist with extensive knowledge and product training. As such, they really should not just reiterate the chair's features and specs to you. Instead, they should have been put through Herman Miller’s “You Know It” program, which includes hands-on practice in custom fitting people, like you, with their new chairs. Otherwise, they will not have the information or experience necessary to answer your questions satisfactorily.
