Aeron sizes are a bit wonky - unless you're shorter than 5'6" and ~110lbs, pretty much everyone I've ever talked to prefers the largest one. So definitely sit in it beforehand.
One of the big selling points for HM is the 10-12 year, basically no-questions-asked warranty. You won't get that on a resale, just fyi. May be worth it for the cost savings, but keep it in mind.
This is an odd one - SMELL the chair. Give it a good wiff, as I've encountered a few in offices that just straight up smell bad.

All that said, lots and lots of start ups by these super expensive chairs and go out of business six months later, and liquidate everything. You can snag a practically brand new chair for half off or even cheaper if you're savvy and patient. Ask where they came from, though - it's not super common by any means (don't want to scare you), but knock offs do exist.
Smell the chair?
Like how bad we potentially talking here? Like 1-2 years of a sitter busting ass kind of bad?
