- 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 CZcams, 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
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.
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
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 :)
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
Excellent find Eliot! and more important, a second life to that beautiful chair has been granted.
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
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!
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
that is a beautiful piece! definitely been developing a love of uniquely designed furniture lately and this is right up my ally
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.
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.
i got my Sayl for 250€ and i was already super happy but 12$ !!!! WoW great job and massive luck !
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+
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
TysyTube wants to know your location 😤😅
I think we need more videos like this ! ,:)
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!
What a sweet score - I'm so jelly rn!
Really enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing this excellent deal with us!
I had one of these chair for many years, truly wonderful.
Fantastic chair. It’s the chair I have in my home office.
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
I know what Im gonna be on the lookout for this week at Goodwill :)
damn, lucky find! these suckers are comfortable as hell too
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.
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
and here i thought gaming chairs was expensive, what a steal!
Fantastic Find! Looks great cleaned up.
Don’t be afraid to throw it on main channel. It definitely fits it too with restoration and all.
That is gorgeous!
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!
Soooo satisfying! Great find, and enjoy the new chair
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 find! Congrats!
Wow such a lucky find! Having that knowledge really helps too.
This was so satisfying to watch! Great restoration
By the end of the video i really liked the colour too.
Hahaha same mate!
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!
Good job, well done!
That’s so cool. Love the space age look of the chair too!
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.
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!
My posture while watching this video 🦫
The design was very strange at first but as the video went on it grew on me as well lol, good find! :)
Nice find!
This is a wonderful piece. It looks like out of Star Trek TOS.
Wow that’s a proper chair!
You got a real bargain as it seems and it came out brand new. Nice.
Beautiful chair, nice work and what a steal!
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 🤷♂️
Nice 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
Great find and awesome restoration.
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.
Great find, nice refurb!
Deffo recommend sticking some rollerblade style wheels on.
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.
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.
Awesome find, man!
£675 in john lewis!!!!!! thats an amazing find!
awesome score
That is a beautiful chair I really love the back
I googled this chair before lol epic find
thats some top quality seed you got there.
very good deal
Dude there's mystery stains on the chair.
Elliot: but its £10!!!!!
I love how the retro gaming mod-resto ethos of the channel has extended to restoring and re-using other stuff.
Lucky man! You always seem to find these amazing bargains Elliot. My local charity shops are not so bountiful!
From an office, you would like to hope so...Some guy has definitely knocked one out in a basement sat in that 🤣
Gotta love a bargain. It’s addictive and gives me a mini high to get such a great 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.
nice catch 👍
Oh my God! It's a Herman Miller!
With some gold parts it'd be famicom colors!
That’s a sick find
Ikr!
Absolute Gem of a find!
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.
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 have this chair in grey/white. Definitely didn’t pay £10 for it lol. Amazing find.

So dope!! 🔥🔥🔥
God tier find
Very nice
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.
Nice change from electronics. Maybe you should do more of these alt restorations?
Great video and what a find! Please consider making a small donation to the charity shop since they inadvertently missed out on a big sale and even with a donation you´d be sitting on a great chair for a great price. Cheers!
nice find dude
Idk how I heard of this company, I think someone criticised something and said "this is Herman Miller chair out of [blank]"
My best find was a $700 Hugo boss suit for $20.
$10, eh?
I guess that means it must have been on...
"Sayl"...
😎
A power washer really helps with some of the hard to reach places like in that Y piece.
Nice
Thank you!
