- I bought one of the most iconic chairs for £10... then restored it as it was disgusting. This is easily worth £200+ so I was super happy with it fot £10!

Not what I was expecting to watch at 4am but I’ll take it. Nice find
Go to bed!
Hahahahah
@@lifespanofafry1534 go to bread
Currently 4am, can confirm
2am, watching too much RUclips, now I’m thinking about chairs.
And I thought my £2.50 copy of Metroid fusion was a bargin yesterday- nice one! Can we expect more furniture videos like this, make a new channel called The Retro Furniture😅
I think he should rene the channel to The Retro Whatever 🤣
Seriously amazing find Elliot. I recently replaced my Aeron with an Embody after the Aeron finally reached EOL after nearly 15 years of use. Anyone who scoffs at the cost of these please realize these are tough hardworking and comfortable chairs. I would much rather pay $500 for a char that will last 10+ years than $100 for a chair that might last a year tops. I'm sure this Says has many many many more years of life left in it.
I hope so! I really like it
Although I can't afford a 500 to 800 quid chair I have gotten 50 quid and less chairs that are comfy and lasted me most of my life. It looks a mess but it works fine. 😁
What an incredible find! Been thinking about getting a Herman Miller for a while, can't imagine I'll ever find one for a tenner though...
I guess I'll definitely keep my eye out at charity shops from now on
Just found one for $30. Anything is possible
10£ chair and 20£ replacement parts.
The pain of every refurbish is spending more on the parts to fix the item than the item itself
I had an Amazon voucher so cost me nothing!
@@TheRetroFuture2 fair enough
That was a great bargain, but as jersey hospice is such a great local charity, why don't you make a donation to them, for the amount that you sell your old chair for 😉 it would probably fetch a bit, since you have sat in it 🤣
He's a charity case himself 🤣🤣 He's not given out money just yet
It's very Famicom-themed! An awesome find. I could never take something like this apart without having a lot of trouble putting it back together again.
Excellent find Eliot! and more important, a second life to that beautiful chair has been granted.
I love the red and white retro look this thing has! Feels like it's from the late 90's/early 00's.
Amazing find, Elliot :)
There's an optional lumbar support you may want to look into getting, seems to make a big difference to me if I'm spending long work days/nights in the chair. Killer find; I thought I got a really good deal on mine until I saw this!
that is a beautiful piece! definitely been developing a love of uniquely designed furniture lately and this is right up my ally
Nice find ;) My old chair was swedish made from brand called Ullman and the Q-Lite series. They cost around 500-600 quid second hand. I did find the older model for 20 quid. Did use for around 10 years. It was to expensive to replace the leather. That chair is no more. I have Markus chair instead from IKEA in leather. Funny thing is my first name is Markus haha xD
That is an amazing find! I’ve had a Herman Miller chair for about 15 years now, and have sat in it 8+ hours a day every day for all that time and I don’t think I can ever go to a different type of chair.
There’s something about you cleaning that’s mesmerizing o.o
Check out the Odd Tinkering channel. There's lots of cleaning and repairing of cool old things
Hahaha nice find. These are ones we have in our office. I didn't realise what they were until you posted it. Wishing you the best.
Very pleased with it!
Don't read my name;*+*;";*
@@TheRetroFuture2 it's really comfortable for long periods of work and got just the right amount of back support. I'm 5f11 so it hopefully is alright for you too being6f+
TysyTube wants to know your location 😤😅
i got my Sayl for 250€ and i was already super happy but 12$ !!!! WoW great job and massive luck !
Very nice clean up. Good to see how much love that old chair gotten. And I agree the color scheme is defintly something else than today
I think we need more videos like this ! ,:)
What a sweet score - I'm so jelly rn!
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing this excellent deal with us!
What a cool find, and a bargain price! I can almost forgive not wearing gloves on such a filthy item, almost... Thanks for the vid!
Thats a bargain! I just picked one up for £50. Mine is in good condition, no damage to the arm rests, very clean cushion and its a 2013 model. It has the Herman Miller manufacturing sticker still on it, so I should be able to get a complete refurb as they give a 12 year warranty on them if you have this sticker.
Gorgeous! Such a satisfying video to watch. Can't wait to see the chair once it's new arm rests come in :).
That orange netting looks like the stuff they put near roadworks to stop people falling into the hole hehehe
Soooo satisfying! Great find, and enjoy the new chair
Don’t be afraid to throw it on main channel. It definitely fits it too with restoration and all.
and here i thought gaming chairs was expensive, what a steal!
Fantastic Find! Looks great cleaned up.
I had one of these chair for many years, truly wonderful.
My dad worked for a moving company and one time a business they were moving was throwing out their Herman Miller chairs! They let him take as many as he wanted, so I got one for free! Excellent find!
Fantastic chair. It’s the chair I have in my home office.
damn, lucky find! these suckers are comfortable as hell too
This was so satisfying to watch! Great restoration
I know what Im gonna be on the lookout for this week at Goodwill :)
That’s so cool. Love the space age look of the chair too!
That is gorgeous!
Love that chair! So glad for you. You will enjoy it a lot! I have 8 years with my embody 👌 They really neglected it, it will last you forever.
If you haven't tried an inline skate wheel swap I highly recommend it. It's cheap to find a kit on Amazon and it will roll like a dream.
What a steal! Love the way you made this video, makes me wanna go out and find a chair like this only to clean it with one of those chair cleaners you used. Cheers!
Wow such a lucky find! Having that knowledge really helps too.
Nice finds !
Thanks to you I ended up getting one of these cheap and did a similar refurb. The 3rd party armrests off Aliexpress have been great. I ended up spending £100 for mine but still really good value to me
Nice find!
What a find! Congrats!
Good job, well done!
Awesome find! Your back will probably thank you! Great content as always, Elliot
Thanks mate!
I hope it works well for you too. My company kitted out our new office with these back in 2014, and the chair supplier even sent out posture experts to make sure we all knew how to properly adjust them, but I simply couldn't adjust it in such a way that didn't give me back ache and I ended up bringing in my own chair. Most people seem to get on fine with them, though, so maybe I just don't have a Herman Miller compatible back 🤷♂️
What a steal. I bought the cheapest office chair from a Chinese website and it was about 25 quid new because unfortunately there's no real second hand shops or charity stores where I live so no luck with bargains. Enjoy!
The design was very strange at first but as the video went on it grew on me as well lol, good find! :)
Awesome find, man!
Beautiful chair, nice work and what a steal!
Great find and awesome restoration.
You got a real bargain as it seems and it came out brand new. Nice.
By the end of the video i really liked the colour too.
Hahaha same mate!
I love how the retro gaming mod-resto ethos of the channel has extended to restoring and re-using other stuff.
My posture while watching this video 🦫
Wow that’s a proper chair!
awesome score
Great find, nice refurb!
Deffo recommend sticking some rollerblade style wheels on.
This is a wonderful piece. It looks like out of Star Trek TOS.
I love this kind of video, thank you! Please do more if you have the opportunity to. :)
I bought an Sedus open mind for 25€ in good but used condition.
Its an 700€ chair and I'm so happy with it because I have some problems with my back. An ergonomic chair is so Importent.
Herman miller sell the best chairs! Pricy as hell but worthit - congrats on the amazing deal
I found a Herman Miller Mira chair a couple years ago for $20. To this day one of my best finds.
I have this chair. Had it for about a year and I really wonder how anyone gets it so dirty. Wow. But good job on bringing it back to life
£675 in john lewis!!!!!! thats an amazing find!
Absolute Gem of a find!
I'm on the journey as you are, I found a Swayl in black for $100 USD and picked it up and looking to get arms for it! sadly it doesn't have the forward lean option or the lumbar support pad.
Amazing find! Might need to rent a wet vac to really clean the seat cushion deeper. But besides that stellar job bringing it back from the dirt and grime grave.
That is a beautiful chair I really love the back
Nice find, great chair. But often when I know the value of a item in a charity shop I tend to give a little more than the asking price if it's already priced low so the charity shop gets more for it and I do my bit for charity win win. :) (in some charity shops they won't let you pay more though) so I end up buying more stuff Lols.
I'm sure there are restorers all over the world wincing as they watch you Scrub down a Herman Miller with a Magic Eraser lol.
I was expecting it to be considerably older from the 70-80s
Lucky man! You always seem to find these amazing bargains Elliot. My local charity shops are not so bountiful!
very good deal
I see you bought the replacement pads on Amazon. I had a similar situation to you, though my chair was not quite as cheap, and Herman Miller was awesome when asking for replacement parts directly from them.
I googled this chair before lol epic find
Idk how I heard of this company, I think someone criticised something and said "this is Herman Miller chair out of [blank]"
Gotta love a bargain. It’s addictive and gives me a mini high to get such a great deal.
Dude there's mystery stains on the chair.
Elliot: but its £10!!!!!
nice catch 👍
thats some top quality seed you got there.
My best find was a $700 Hugo boss suit for $20.
Nice change from electronics. Maybe you should do more of these alt restorations?
With some gold parts it'd be famicom colors!
From an office, you would like to hope so...Some guy has definitely knocked one out in a basement sat in that 🤣
So dope!! 🔥🔥🔥
I have literally never paid for a chair. Always found them in a skip
With those new arm pads this would have only costed you 4% of the suggested retail price. Aka. It like seeing it in a store with an sticker on it saying “96% off”. Absolutely mental
Very nice
With some gold arm rests it could be Famicom themed.
I found a Knoll Saarinen desk chair at a thrift shop for $15 once, they usually go for around $2000 new. Mine was from 1999, and I abused it over 6 years plus the rest of the abuse it got from previous ownership. It finally broke back in July (main spring broke) and I had to move to my replacement desk chair I picked up off Amazon for $150 knowing full well it was about to happen.
A power washer really helps with some of the hard to reach places like in that Y piece.
That's seriously cool! 😎
Oh my God! It's a Herman Miller!
nice find dude
I love the super midcentury modern look of your chair until you said when it was made I thought it actually was from the 60's
Nice come up and restoration. Locally i found a herman miller aeron with a broken base. Need to research on how to repair or replace it before i make an offer.
