I had an Aeron chair for 6 years at an old workplace and it was a revelation. When it came time to WFH I wanted one but couldn’t justify the £1K for one at the time. So went with the John Lewis knock off one and so far, it’s been exceptional. 3 years and counting and had no issues with it at all.

It's "the last chair" they'll need to buy, because all of the components are replaceable with basic tools and when things wear out, you can replace them (in a Trigger's Broom sort of situation).
They're a lot cheaper than paying for an employee's back problems later in life. They're engineered specifically to avoid that, so if an employee does try to sue your company, they can genuinely say that they took resonable precautions to prevent it.
About getting them second-hand; you can get them in bunches from closures of other businesses; that's the best place to try.

Originally posted by MartyG View PostI checked and I have a £250 chair budget, so I doubt even a second-hand Aeron is within grasp. Actually, none of the chairs I like are in budget.

Another one to look out for is an RH Logic 400
Excellent chairs, fully adjustable and they can be found for reasonable prices secondhand..
I have had mine for over 15 years, had to replace an arm rest after it was damaged during a move but otherwise it has been rock solid.. I prefer it to the Aeron that I have at work as I am tall and large
