What chair to replace an Aeron?

[Saracen]

Glad to see some club members

We're sitting pretty then ?

I'm a provisional member. My current office chair is about 15 years old, and while it still does the job, it's a bit tatty. Oh alright, it's quite a lot tatty.

I'm going to drop into the Heathrow showroom next time I'm passing by with time to spare, try them out and have a good look at the options, and I'll take it from there.

Hi wombar

I'd REALLY like the number of the dealer in HH - current chair impossible, Aeron out of sight!

Cheers and thanks for the very useful posting

[wombar]

I think you need to make a few more posts before I can PM you There's bound to be some more posts that you fancy chipping in on, Hexus is great!!!

[capt sensible]

Sorry that you feel that way, Wombar - you have no idea how difficult I found it to send just one message! I guess at least this means that I can avoid the ignominy of having to get my kids to tell me what a "PM" is and how it works!

Yours, uncomfortably,

Okay, I'm not being picky, I literally can't send you the details until you've made a few more posts because that is just the way the software on this forum works. I believe you need 15 posts before you can send or receive PMs (Private Messages).

I'm not making a choice or trying to force you to make some posts, I'm simply not able to send you a Private Message (i.e. so the dealers details aren't open to public view). For your reference, a private message is a little like email, in that you have an inbox, outbox etc. It allows you to conduct private conversations through this forum that no one else can see.

I hope that clears things up...

Oops - my sincere apologies for any offence. Jumped to the wrong conclusion with the size 12's. And thanks for the tutorial! I'll endeavour to post some more posts and I'll reply to this again when I have sufficient for a PM Cheers and thanks

[wombar]

No problem Hexus is a pretty friendly forum and there's plenty of sub forums to browse and get involved in, I'm sure you won't have any trouble finding some threads to contribute to. Send me a PM (click on my usename and choose "Send a Private Message to Wombar") when you've got the required amount of posts and I'll send along the details.

Guys,

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but I was looking for a new chair and the advise re Kinnarps has proved invaluable to me. I managed to track down the supplier of the ex-display models who was extremely helpful in guiding me through the options. I've ended up getting a 9534 for a very good price.

Keith at KGB Office Services (I cant post links yet, but google finds them) would be delighted to hear from anyone else who is interested.

Happy to have helped - Clunk, go sit on the naughty chair

Odd coincidence, I was searching for this thread earlier today as I was thinking a new chair wouldn't go amiss and remembered some discussions about good ones here.. nice one!

[wombar]

Haha, this thread is a blast from the past. I've bought a few chairs from Keith now, he's an absolutely top bloke and I would highly recommend anyone paying him a visit. I've bought a 6000, 8000 and a 9000 for various members of my family and got a great deal on all of them.

I've also bought a desk from him as well, and he was able to get me exactly what I needed for an absolutely fantastic price. If I can find the time, I'll tidy up my desk and post a picture.

The website is: http://www.kgb-services.co.uk/ which I hope is okay to post here

I was going to reply to this thread in 2007 but I only got as far as the first few lines, I do not remember too much about things after that except I was commited to a "Health Spa" for rest & relaxation. After years of regression therapy and hypnotism, not forgetting the electroconvulsive therapy! my Psychiatrist now thinks I am ready to confront the cause of my "episodes", so here goes!

Nine hundred quid, for a F~*#/ chair!!!!!!!!!! are you off your rocker?
Where's my valium quickly?

its a lot less than an osteopaths bill after a disc problem caused by cheap office chairs

true

shoes, bed, chair, all worth spending ££££ on

And that's what you call overstating the issue by a mile. If you get a disc problem because of your chair, heavenly angels couldn't put together soft enough pillows for your sensitive spinal column.

I just wanted to throw in a vote for Aeron chairs. I start by saying I have little experience with professional chairs, and didn't sit in the Aeron long, but the one time I did.. it was better than mediocre sex. The recline feature was awesome, the tension in the chair was awesome, I was like a kid with a surprisingly awesome new toy.

Frankly, I agree you have to spend, but if Aerons still cost £900, I'd rather just spend that money on building a custom desk and sliding a couch under it.. and use the remainder on a whole freaking new pc!!
