These chairs are absolutely awesome... if they're anything like the original herman miller aeron.
I was working 14 hours a day in the office & my back couldn't take it, it would absolutely kill. 2 weeks after getting an aeron, all pain is completely gone. My wife (when pregnant) would sit in the chair for 10 minutes and it would do the same trick for her.
The aeron runs at around £1000+ new (cheaper on ebay). If this chair even comes close to the aeron in terms of comfort, it's absolutely worth this price. Heat!

Why are you comparing this to a Herman Miller?
Andaho to barns
14 Jul 162#12
In a previous job, I was lucky enough to have a herman miller aeron at my desk... I've wanted to buy one for home ever since then, but I can't justify the cost (more important things to spend £1000 on)... So I've bought chairs like this (aeron-style mesh chairs) but they quality isn't comparable and they barely last a year before things start breaking/giving (aerons cost £1000 for a reason)...
To compare this to an aeron is like comparing this:

I doubt this would compare well to a Steelcase Leap you can get on eBay for £200, let alone a £1000 Aeron. But it looks way better than most office chairs that cost £50.

anyone know if I can order on card and change payment to giftcard when it arrives in post?

You can pick another payment method before the order processes, so whilst out of stock you still have the option. Not sure how it would work with a gift card, you may need to ask Amazon chat if they can do it for you.

Yes. It is. I've got one (without headrest) and the mesh back is very comfy, and cool.
Worth a go, looking for a nice decent chair to replace my knackered one but happy to wait, as long as this comes off at some point in the future, I'll be happy.

The one without the headrest looks more comfortable than the one with the headrest. I think they both have different designs.

This chair may start to fall apart after a year but IMO at this price you're not likely to find a chair that's event comparable in terms of ergonomics.

14 Jul 161#28
Big thanks Op. Ordered. I already have this chair (without headrest) I paid around £90 two years ago and can honestly say that it's the best office chair you will ever get at this price point. I've just paid £90 for a chair for my wifes home office from a well know office supply shed and its pants compared to this. From memory it comes with a three year warrenty. A bolt fell out of one of the armrest's and got lost. I e-mailed Top Star and received a replacement within a week. German engineering with quility customer service. Order with confidence this is a great chair.

not slating this chair at all... infact I voted hot for this deal, and have ordered it.... but I'm slating someone comparing it to a herman miller.

14 Jul 16#30
That's good to hear. I was close to getting one of these on Amazon a few years back, but just before I hit buy they went out of stock. I created this price alert, and it finally came back! But not before I'd already got an Ergohuman from eBay. Very comfy, but it was six times this price...
MrFizzy
14 Jul 16#31
Not sure that's the only difference. The one without the headrest has a different seat i.e it's described as "Three-dimensionally moveable Orthoseat, orthopedically shaped". The Headrest one doesn't say this and looks different.
hukdbro
14 Jul 16#32
For one without headrest, can you get a headrest for it?
MrFizzy
14 Jul 16#33
It doesn't look like it has the rocking seat (some may prefer this). I cannot find this one on the Topstar website. Can anybody else spot it?

No, the picture on Amazon shows that the head rest is built into the back frame as one unit.
Cheers, just bought one for £19.40 (had a £5 discount from prime day + NUS). Out of stock for now but hopefully will arrive within a month.

I just bought this at £1.20 debited from my card. Thanks to the amazon prime day which got me the following:
Purchased a £30 gift card and got £5 extra.
Signed up for trial of Amazon audio and got £10 extra
NUS at 5%
Used my £30 gift card on this, the £15 'free' cash thanks to amazon and the NUS discount brought this to £1.20 debited from my bank account. I cant complain with this.

Yeah the MSRP really does change perception, especially when you know the same [s]mistake[/s] deal will likely not occur again.
In this case, I bought one. I don't need it, hence I have up to 3 months to cancel it without being charged, so guess you should've taken the plunge just to be safe.
There's no saying that these won't get cancelled though, but actually this is one scenario that I am not sure about the outcome, and there's a possibility for these not to be cancelled.

My order is cancelled too and I got £5 as a hassle compensation but i rather have the chair as i needed one! Thought I caught a big fish but it just slipped away from my hand..... thanks to Amazon

Cancelled! There I was after ordering thinking how I really did need that new chair I'd just ordered...
I know there's probably nothing out there which will compare deal-wise to this but is there a similar style half decent chair out there for no more than £100 anyone can recommend?
