Our Herman Miller Refurbishment Process

At RefurbishedMiller, we believe iconic design should last a lifetime.

We specialize in professionally refurbished Herman Miller chairs—meticulously restored, fully tested, and ready for years of use.

Our team of refurbish specialists inspects every component, replaces worn parts, and ensures each chair meets original performance standards. The result: premium comfort and sustainability at a fraction of the new price.

The Values Behind Every Chair

At RefurbishedMiller, our work is guided by three core values that shape every chair we restore and every customer experience we create. They reflect our dedication to quality, sustainability, and true expertise.

Quality

Every chair is restored with precision and care. We use high-quality parts, expert craftsmanship, and strict testing to ensure each product meets the highest performance standards.

Sustainability

Refurbishing reduces waste and gives premium design a longer life. We believe that true innovation means respecting both the environment and the craftsmanship behind every chair.

Expertise

Our team combines years of ergonomic knowledge and technical skill. From personalized advice to on-site consultations, we help every client find the right solution for lasting comfort and support.

Thorough inspection

Every chair begins its refurbishment journey with complete disassembly. By separating the components, we are able to inspect each element individually and assess its structural and mechanical condition in detail.

We carefully examine the frame integrity, mesh condition, mechanism functionality, armrest stability, and base structure. Any component that does not meet our quality standards is replaced to ensure long-term performance and safety. Chairs that fail to meet our structural requirements are rejected entirely, as we never compromise on durability or reliability.

Steam cleaning

Once the mesh has passed our quality inspection, it undergoes an intensive professional steam-cleaning process. We apply high-temperature steam together with an environmentally friendly, patented cleaning solution designed specifically to deep-clean performance mesh materials.

This method removes embedded dirt, eliminates bacteria and odours, and restores the mesh’s elasticity and appearance without compromising its structural integrity. The result is a hygienic, refreshed surface that maintains the original breathability and support the chair was engineered to deliver.

Powder coating

All metal components are refinished using professional powder-coating in their original color specification. This process ensures a uniform finish while restoring the frame’s durability and resistance to wear.

We use only high-quality coating materials to achieve a long-lasting, scratch-resistant surface that meets professional standards. Components that cannot be powder-coated due to their structure or material composition are carefully refinished using precision spray application, ensuring a consistent appearance across the entire chair.

Replacing parts

Foam components, including arm pads and seat foam, are replaced as standard to ensure comfort, hygiene, and long-term durability. We also routinely replace high-wear parts such as gas lift cylinders, mechanical components, and seat mesh when necessary to restore full ergonomic performance.

Every replacement part undergoes a strict quality check before installation. This ensures that each chair delivers reliable functionality, smooth adjustments, and the level of comfort expected from a properly refurbished Herman Miller chair.

Final quality check

Once the chair has completed the refurbishment process, it undergoes a comprehensive final inspection conducted by our refurbishment specialists. Every function, adjustment, and structural element is carefully reviewed to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

We verify that the chair fully meets our internal quality standards before it is approved for sale. Only after passing this final control stage is the chair cleared for delivery to the customer.

Safe packaging

Each chair is carefully packaged to ensure maximum protection during transport. We use secure packing methods designed to prevent movement and minimise the risk of damage in transit.

Individual orders are shipped fully insured via DHL Express for fast and reliable delivery. Larger quantities are transported assembled through our own delivery service, ensuring safe handling and professional logistics from our facility to your location.

7-Year Warranty

Refurbished for the Long Run

A refurbished chair should not only look good on delivery — it should perform reliably for years to come. That is why we back our chairs with a 7-year warranty.

This extended coverage reflects the confidence we have in our refurbishment standards, component quality, and technical expertise. It ensures that structural and mechanical performance remains protected long after your purchase.
