Go ahead. Open your browser and type in your search bar, “Is Herman Miller worth it?” We’ll wait.
You can expect rave reviews penned by skeptics-turned-devotees of the Aeron Task Chair and buyers waxing poetic over the Noguchi table. Whether you search Bing, Google, Yahoo!, or crowdsource information from personal friends, the clear answer to your query will emerge as a resounding “yes.”
For over 100 years, Herman Miller, now part of the MillerKnoll family of brands, has earned a reputation for providing high-quality, innovative furniture. However, this high quality comes with a matching price tag, so it’s often an investment that requires careful discernment.
Don’t take our word for it—or millions of words from other people, for that matter. Let us explain the many reasons Herman Miller is worth every penny.
Commercial and Residential Options
Herman Miller is one of the few brands we work with that serves commercial and residential customers in equal measure. All the fan-favorite chairs, sofas, tables, and more that people have come to love from the pages Architectural Digest are available in commercial-grade options. The brand’s reputation promises that every piece will function and fare as well as you expect. Careful attention to detail allows you to draw inspiration from lived-in interiors that bring an approachable yet durable energy to your work space.
Timeless Classics
The Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman debuted in 1965 and the fanfare has never slowed. These beloved designs have survived countless trends, reached international acclaim, been passed down through generations, and become highly sought-after thrift finds. Although your jaw might drop several feet at the initial $4,000–$10,000 price tag, imagine having the same chair for six decades. Even at its highest price, the chair costs less than $170 per year if you own it for that long.
Engineered to Last
Could you find a chair in a style you absolutely love for less than $170? How long do you think it might last – one year? Longer? Even if you shopped around, locating furniture with equal measures of design and construction quality would present a difficult task.
Now, consider the time and energy it would take to replace or repair that chair each time it broke. If you can stomach the upfront purchase price, it may very well be the last chair you ever purchase. Herman Miller doesn’t discriminate. The brand puts the same level of craftsmanship into lounge chairs as executive desks and extends the same value to their premium and value product lines as well.
Furthermore, Herman Miller’s designers leave no details to chance. In addition to unmatched aesthetics, the brand has become synonymous with thoughtful ergonomics, which allow buyers to focus more on work and less on their body aches.
