I purchased an Aeron chair for about $400. The seat frame cracked after less than 9 months and I was told the piece would be replaced if I sent photos and my order number, which I did. After chasing the company for several months after that, I was finally told the crack was normal wear and tear and I should crazy glue it.

I ordered 2 Herman Miller Chars NEW
April 11, 2023

I ordered 2 Herman Miller Chars NEW…
I ordered 2 Herman Miller Chars NEW over a week ago. So far, the order hasn't even been processed. I have to go back and forth from CA to AZ. I sent them an e-mail that if they can't deliver it to Porter Ranch by the end of this week, I won't be here; thus, please send it to Sedona. I got some stupid form letter stating it takes them 14 -20 business days to do anything. I told them to cancel the order if they cannot fulfill it, either in a timeframe for CA or AZ. To cancel it. No answer the meantime, I have already paid. This is the form answer that I'm sure everyone gets.

Dear customer

We are still processing your order.

Please note: The current free shipping processing and delivery lead time on chair orders is

14-20 business days to ship from order date.

We need time to process each order as we ship chairs nearly fully assembled with all customizations and upgraded features installed.

Please reach out to their e-mail if your order has not arrived after 20 business days.

Please let us know if we could assist you with anything else.

Thank you
Lenna

October 5, 2020

I ordered a $649 chair in May. I am still waiting. Seatingmind says it is lost, but they never even bothered to file la claim with FEDEX. BUYERS BEWARE! Seatingmind, do the right thing and either give me my money back or send my my chair.

I check the reviews from the google search results before making the purchase, but regret immediately as I read read the reviews from https://www.trustpilot.com/review/seatingmind.com. Trying to cancel the order immediately and so far 10+ days past and get no response from them. Yes, they charged on my credit card immediately and the only way out is to dispute the charge with credit card company.

Stay away
September 1, 2018

I ordered a Herman Miller Equa chair through this company. I never received the chair for nearly a month. My pay pal account was deducted the day I placed the order for the chair. I called the company three times, and was not able to talk to a customer representative. I emailed the company four times. They finally responded with " the label was lost and we'll get the chair sent out." I was told I would receive a discount for the extreme delay receiving the chair, but there was no discount. I have tried multiple times to contact them via e mail and I get no response.

The Chair they sent me was not the chair I ordered. When I tried to contact them about their mistake they were hard to get a hold of and were not willing to help with he problem. I then went through with a claim with paypal, but somehow, after paypal messaged the seller, the only proposed solution was that I somehow send back this large piece of furniture. If that was not bad enough, I was being asked to do this out of my own pocket. It was 100% the seller mistake, and yet I was being told I wouldn't get a refund (Or the chair that I ordered in the first place) unless I pay money to correct the sellers mistake. I will never buy from here or officechairatwork.com (Which is the same address) again

Think Chair
December 26, 2019

I purchased this chair for $289 and its slowly sinking all the way to the bottom and its defective. I am communicating with customer service and they want me to record the chair slowly sinking to replace it. The chair is slowly sinking over time I cant record this but they would see that its defective when they recieve the chair and sit on it themselves. I am not happy at all with the customer service nor the product.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
I wish I saw all these reviews before placing the order.
I waited for 1.5 months for them to deliver a chair that on their site, they said was in stock and they kept asking me to bear with them due to COVID, 1.5 months! After that, I asked for a status as my back was killing and they said they do not know when they would have my chair in stock and offered a cancellation and a refund so I was like sure, let's do that. In my mind I was happy as that seemed to be quite professional.
Low and behold, I only got 90% of the cost of the chair back due to their "policy" as they went through the pain of setting up the order. Again they did not have the chair so they did not do anything that deserves a 10% fee (not to mention the fact that they never mentioned the fee when they offered me the refund). Cannot imagine how much money they are making from people like me during these difficult times and quite disgusted by their attitude

They steal your money
April 23, 2022

This company will steal your money. I purchased a chair and realized it was the wrong size. I canceled the order before it shipped. I was told by email my account would be credited in 5-7 business days. I've contacted the company many times to be told I've been refunded, it's between my bank and I and it takes 3-5 days. It's been almost two weeks. My bank is investigating the situation. The other thing I noticed about the transaction was it showed as recurring. This was a one time purchase! NEVER BUY FROM THESE PEOPLE. THEY WILL STEAL YOUR MONEY.

Horrid Experience!
November 30, 2019

Purchased an Aeron chair. They charged me the day I ordered but shipped it almost 20 days later. The chair was missing features and the headrest I purchased.

I contacted customer service, they requested photos of which I sent. Customer service confirmed the missing features and asked if I would install and sent me a video on how to complete the installation. I noted that I wasn't thrilled to perform the install, but would try or if I was concerned I would return the chair.

All communication has gone dark, no replies, not even to a request to return the chair. I expected a used chair, and it was certainly used and dirty. I didn't expect a chair missing the features I purchased.

I would not recommend spending your hard-earned money with this company.

SCAM ARTISTS
May 19, 2020

I ordered a Herman Miller Aeron Chair in April via PayPal. First off, don't pay by PayPal. If you pay on Amazon you'll be much better off to track these shysters. At the end of the month the chair was still not delivered so I wrote the company 3x. They never answered. I filed a dispute with PayPal. The company sent a fake invoice that didn't have my name nor address on it and the item on the invoice was another chair. I finally got a hold of FedEx who proved to me the item was indeed not mine and sent to another person. I hope this company goes out of business for their lying scheming ways especially during Covid. How dare they try to pull one over on people? STAY FAR AWAY.

FAKE PRODUCTS
November 7, 2021

I bought a Herman Miller Aeron chair. It came broken. Customer service does not respond to emails for voice mails. I called Herman Miller to see if they could help. Seatingmind.com is NOT an authorized dealer so should NOT be selling their chairs. A REAL chair includes a warranty in the shipping container, this did not. I would like my $1100 back from this company. I plan on disputing all charges with Visa and am filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Unfortunately, I have no chair and might be out the $1100. JUST SAY NO TO THESE PEOPLE!

Chair showed up 10 days late-----2 days later, THE BASE OF THE CHAIR BROKE IN 3 PIECES. When you call "customer service", you'll never talk to anyone except an answering machine. Email is the only communication method. 2 weeks later, they sent me a new part, WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS, FILLED WITH COBWEBS, AND PROVIDED ZERO help in putting the chair back together. Clearly they dug the replacement part out of some warehouse corner, it was disgusting and used. People are horrible, terrible at communication, DO NOT, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THEM unless you want to donate money to a shifty company. AWFUL.

Awful company
April 9, 2021

They are located in NJ, according to the BBB site they aren't licensed merchandiser since 2017. I had to send a nasty email and disputed the order with my credit card company before I heard anything. The email that it was sent to is *******@gmail.com, Abe Berkovitz. I hope this helps someone.

Save yourself a HUGE headache. Very poor quality chair. Returned and it took 4 FOUR months to get my refund. Seatingmind is a SCAM - beware! Sent emails, voicemail, phone calls, text and they NEVER responded.
Again - save yourself a HUGE headache dealing with these people.

I ordered what I thought was going to be a new chair on 2/28, After a month i canceled my order and requested a refund. On 3/25 the company responded that the order was canceled and that I would receive a refund in 5-7 business days. It's now 4/16 and there is no refund. All those who have received poor treatment, I urge you to take action. File a report with the BBB and and the State Attorney General Office. I see that there website lists them as in NJ but BBB has a Brooklyn NY address for them.

I ordered a $600 Herman Miller chair from Seatingmind 6 weeks ago, and they still have not shipped anything. After not hearing from them for the first 2 weeks after placing the order, I reached out to their customer service who promised the chair "would ship in the next 7-10 days". Now 6 weeks in and still no chair. They've also become unresponsive. STAY AWAY FROM THIS VENDOR.

This is the worst company to work with. The only thing they have going is a pretty website. Its the website that caught my attention.

I bought my chair from them. The site stated it was leather. And theirs a price diffrence of 200 more for leather.

When the chair arrived. It was packaged in a box that looks like it was destroyed and just used one more time for my delivery. It was hanging together by tape. Just a mess upon arrival. I wish there was a way to post the pics.

We opened the box and the chair we paid 699 for was not leather... It was cloth.

I sent a message to customer service and they sent back and automated response.

I've waited 1 month for a reply and nothing... nada no reply from their customer service.

They had reviews posted on their website and the reviews were cherry picked.

Then I google " Seating Mind Reviews"... WOW WOW WOW... I have never seen a company with so many negative reviews.

These people are crooks and do not ever respond. I don't expect a return reply. Because their reviews are the worst. And their customer service is absent. If not blatant and intentional "ignore the customer"

I believe in karma. These people will get their own in time.

And I will copy and paste my truthful experience of this company.

Later, i realize that the usage of a good chair is used daily. Moving forward we will just buy the product from the actually vendor as oppose to rolling the dice with some scam company.
