I had the same thoughts when I saw it. I love my ME7ERG. I am in need of a second chair... I wonder how this one feels.Looks like a cross between the Raynor Ergohuman ME7ERG and the Herman Miller Aeron. It's their love child.
I emailed them asking specifically they meant by "open box", and they did indeed admit to selling refurbs as "open box". After reading some of the reviews, I passed.Careful buying refurb/used, especially from shady places like Madison Seating - theyll use the frame of these chairs but put awful padding and terrible terrible material (like a burlap sack) on them and call it “open box” or “refurbd” and man... you can tell the difference immediately even if youve never sat in a real one.
This is a phenomenal chair, though, both v1 and v2
Basically every office furniture dealer on Ebay or the web that's from Elizabeth NJ is connected. And they are all really terrible. Look at BBB and their reviews. Some people get what they want, most don't. And the return policy is terrible, even if you don't get what you paid for. This is true for Madison Seating as well (whose BBB address is in Brooklyn).Careful buying refurb/used, especially from shady places like Madison Seating - theyll use the frame of these chairs but put awful padding and terrible terrible material (like a burlap sack) on them and call it “open box” or “refurbd” and man... you can tell the difference immediately even if youve never sat in a real one.

I bought a Leap Plus about 5 years ago for $700 (half price) - it was basically brand new with a minor tilt issue so it never got used.
Called the dealer - they sent a tech across town to check it out, came back in a week with a part and it's good as new. No charge of course because they have a 10yr warranty.
Problem I have now is that the arms started to wear and my kid picked at the foam and made it way worse.
Lots of after market arms but I want original and it's very hard to find....
I just called the dealer in Austin - they are the ones that originally serviced the chair and the manager said they could order arms for me.Been looking to replace the arms on my leap as well but impossible to find. Tempted to find some slightly beat ones on craigslist to use for parts.
Not bad.
oh wow, heh! glad i read that, on amazon right now for way cheaper. glad i did jump on it!Careful buying refurb/used, especially from shady places like Madison Seating - theyll use the frame of these chairs but put awful padding and terrible terrible material (like a burlap sack) on them and call it “open box” or “refurbd” and man... you can tell the difference immediately even if youve never sat in a real one.
