I have an Aeron that I bought over 10? years ago and it’s still in great condition with daily usage. The only issue with it is that the fake leather type material on the arm rests has scrunched up and the texture is not so nice anymore. I could replace those if I wanted to though.

I had a chair with an extra sturdy (allegedly) textile for the seat and that still tore over the years from the friction. At least I can still sit on it but on a mesh chair that would be impossible. I’m just wondering if those ridiculously expensive ones have at least modularity & replacement parts, but if that’s not the case then I see even less the point in them. Not that I could afford them either way, but at least then they would’ve made sense as something to possibly save up to, even if used.

One of the the things you’re paying for is durability. I haven’t had mine enough ears to really demonstrate that but so far it’s holding up very well

Doubt it, kind of assumed once the mesh breaks the chair is done. Maybe someone handy with that stuff can rig up something to fix a chair like that?

To be fair the mesh seems pretty strong, mines hasn’t broken thus far.
