Herman miller aren't cheap, you'll probably get a used aeron that has been refurbished for £300-£500, which seems wild for a refurbished chair but when they're new they come with a 12 year warranty and you'll probably still find them in use 20 years later.

it's not even something that looks great either, they are unassuming looking but once you know what they look like, you'll see them on tv all the time and in offices. You'll rarely see secretlabs except in gamers rooms and if you're going down that road you might as well buy something cheap from as the quality is about the same.
