Most refurbished Aeron chairs land somewhere between $400 and $900 depending on condition, size, and what parts were replaced. A brand new Aeron runs $1,400 or more. The Size B is the most common and tends to have the most availability. If you’re looking at a chair priced at $200 that claims to be refurbished, I’d ask some hard questions about what that actually means.
Refurbished Herman Miller Chairs in Burbank: Premium Ergonomics for Less
Order nowI’ll tell you something I tell pretty much everyone who walks through my shop for the first time: you don’t need to spend $1,500 on a chair to sit well. I’ve been restoring Herman Miller Aeron chairs for years now, and that’s the honest truth. The chair that’s been sitting in a corporate lease return, gently used for two or three years, cleaned up, and rebuilt properly? That chair is going to serve you just as well as a new one off the floor. Sometimes better, because by then I know exactly what I’m working with.
Part of why refurbished chairs have gotten so popular (especially here in Burbank) is that people are smarter about what they’re buying now. They’ve done the research. They know Herman Miller builds chairs to last well over a decade. They know a properly refurbished Aeron can run 40 to 70 percent less than new. They’re not settling. They’re making a smarter call.
And look, the environmental piece matters too. Every chair I restore is one less piece of furniture heading to a landfill. I’ve had customers who specifically came to me because they wanted something sustainable. That’s become a real part of why people seek out refurbished office furniture. Not just the price, but the principle of it.

Who Should Buy a Refurbished Herman Miller Chair
Honestly? More people than you’d think. My customer base has surprised me over the years. Here’s who I see most often.
Remote Workers & Home Offices
This is probably my biggest group right now. Since the pandemic shifted so many people to permanent or hybrid remote work, Pew Research put it at roughly 35% of workers with remote-capable jobs still working from home full-time as of 2023. A lot of people in Burbank suddenly had to think seriously about their home office setup. Most of them had been sitting on something that was, frankly, not built for eight hours a day. I’ve had customers come in describing shoulder pain, lower back tightness, and that 2pm slump where they just can’t get comfortable anymore. An Aeron chair with proper lumbar support and the right seat height fixes a lot of that. Not all of it, but a lot.
Startups and Growing Teams
Burbank has a lot of small production companies, post houses, and creative agencies that are growing fast and watching every dollar. I’ve had founders come to me needing six, eight, ten chairs at once. When you do that math against buying new Aerons, the savings are significant enough to free up budget for things that actually move the business. And these aren’t compromised chairs. They’re restored. The teams sitting in them don’t know or care that they weren’t the first owners.
Budget-Conscious Professionals
Writers, editors, attorneys, accountants. People who spend their entire working day seated. They’ve usually tried a few cheaper office chairs and gotten burned. Either the lumbar support gave out after a year, or the mesh sagged, or the seat height mechanism stopped holding. They come to me because they want quality they can count on without paying full retail. A refurbished Size B Aeron with new arm pads and a fresh mesh seat is the answer to that. Every time.
Gamers Seeking Ergonomic Seating
I did not expect gamers to become such a consistent part of my business, and yet here we are. They show up having gotten fed up with gaming chairs that look aggressive but don’t actually support anything. The Aeron doesn’t market itself to gamers. It doesn’t need to. Four hours into a session, the mesh is keeping them cool (relevant point in a Southern California summer), the lumbar isn’t digging into their back, and they’re not shifting around trying to find a position that works. That’s the chair doing its job.
Businesses Furnishing Offices in Burbank
Burbank’s got insurance firms, healthcare offices, media companies, and a whole ecosystem of professional services businesses that need real office furniture. Not the stuff that ships in flat boxes. When a company invests in good ergonomic seating for their people, employees notice. It says something about how you view the people working for you. And when you can do that with refurbished Herman Miller chairs at a fraction of new pricing, the decision is pretty easy.
How Refurbished Herman Miller Chairs Are Restored
This is where I’ll be straight with you, because not everyone selling “refurbished” chairs is doing the same thing. I’ve seen what passes for refurbishment on some resale sites. A wipe-down and a new listing photo. That’s not what I do.
Every chair that comes through my hands gets fully disassembled. I’m checking the tilt mechanism, the cylinder, the armrest hardware, the condition of the mesh, and the lumbar support. All of it. If something is worn, it gets replaced. Armpads, seat mesh, casters, lumbar pads. I use OEM-compatible parts because cutting corners on components defeats the whole point. Then every surface gets a proper cleaning and sanitization. After it’s back together, I sit in it. I test the seat height, the tilt tension, and the lumbar position. If something feels even slightly off, it goes back apart.
I care about this part of the process a lot. The EPA has documented that extending the useful life of products like office furniture meaningfully reduces the environmental cost compared to manufacturing new. That’s something I think about in my workshop. It’s not just about selling chairs. It’s about doing the job right so the chair lasts another ten years in someone’s home office or studio.
Why Buy Refurbished Office Chairs Locally in Burbank
You can find refurbished Aerons on eBay. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But here’s what you can’t do on eBay: sit in the chair before you buy it.
Ergonomics are personal. A Size B Aeron fits most people well, but “most” isn’t “all.” The lumbar height matters. The seat depth matters. If you’re 5’6” versus 6’2”, the chair adjustments that matter to you are different. When you buy locally in Burbank, you can come in, sit down, and actually figure out if this is your chair. That’s something no shipping box can replicate.
Beyond the try-before-you-buy piece, local delivery means the chair doesn’t bounce around in a freight truck for a week. I’ve heard too many stories from people who bought online and received a chair where the cylinder was damaged in transit, or the arm pads were cracked from rough handling. That doesn’t happen when I’m delivering it myself to your office off Magnolia or your home studio in the hills.
Burbank’s business community is real and growing. The City of Burbank’s Economic Development office supports a dense mix of entertainment, healthcare, and professional services businesses, most of which have employees sitting at a desk all day. Good ergonomic furniture isn’t a luxury in that environment. It’s a tool. And buying it locally means you’re putting money back into the community that’s keeping your own business running.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a refurbished Herman Miller Aeron cost?
Do refurbished Herman Miller chairs come with warranties?
They can make a real difference, yes. But a lot depends on getting the adjustments right. The Aeron’s lumbar support and PostureFit SL system (on newer models) are designed to follow the natural curve of your spine. I always walk customers through proper setup when they pick up or receive a chair, because even the best ergonomic seat won’t help much if the height is wrong or the lumbar is set too high.
Are Herman Miller chairs good for back pain?
They can make a real difference, yes. But a lot depends on getting the adjustments right. The Aeron’s lumbar support and PostureFit SL system (on newer models) are designed to follow the natural curve of your spine. I always walk customers through proper setup when they pick up or receive a chair, because even the best ergonomic seat won’t help much if the height is wrong or the lumbar is set too high.
How long do Herman Miller chairs typically last?
Herman Miller rates the Aeron for 12 years of use. In my experience, with proper care and the right replacements when parts wear, these chairs go well beyond that. I’ve rebuilt chairs that were 15 years old and still had plenty of life in the frame. The engineering is just that solid.
Is buying refurbished office furniture environmentally friendly?
Considerably more so than buying new, yes. Manufacturing a new chair from scratch carries a significant material and energy cost. Every chair I restore is one that doesn’t need to be made from raw materials. Herman Miller has always been serious about sustainability, and buying refurbished fits right into that ethos. Good call on the wallet and on the environment.
