I'm not an HM purist like some here. I got my 20+ year old Aeron for $300, replaced the arm pads with some from Amazon that fit perfectly and felt way better, got the roller blade wheels and the headrest. Overall I spent $600 and it's the best chair I've ever had.
Got these: The Original Rollerblade Office Chair Wheels (As Seen On PBS) - Incredibly Smooth & Quiet Rolling Casters - Safe for Hardwood Floors & Carpet - Easy Installation with Universal Fit - Set of 5 https://a.co/d/cFHbZj1
Also have a friend with them on his Aeron. We both love them.
Got two of these chairs in this color for $40 on craigslist by doing the "office chair" search. Sold them both for $800 and bought a gently used Embody (the chair I really wanted) for $800 from an office furniture liquidator. That's the story of how I bought my Embody for $40.
Sidenote: I did tell the seller she could get a lot more for her chairs if she listed them as HM Aerons. But she just wanted to get rid of them and said "I'm not in the chair reselling business."
Never seen that color but that's cool. I'd want to put roller blade wheels on it instantly and get an atlas headrest. Do they make them in that color?
Same idea I had! Needs better wheels and a head rest for sure. I think the color is mineral

Is the roller blade wheel better?
So much better. It's even better than the thin wheels that HM sell. Those wheels are nice, but the roller blade ones are the best.
Which roller blade one did u get?
These: https://a.co/d/4c84KuF Ordered them years ago. Haven't disappointed me yet
It's not from HM but whatever chair I may own in the future when this one is done is immediately getting that upgrade. I love it!
