Herman Miller vs Okamura — one warranty names the casters, the other names them consumables

The two makers most often weighed against each other for a serious task chair, compared on the one document a buyer can verify from any country: the warranty. Herman Miller signs twelve years on every moving part — casters, gas cylinder, tilt — labour included. Okamura tiers its promise by part: structure up to eight years on eligible models, mechanisms two, surfaces one, and the casters excluded from the start as consumables. Read from both makers' own pages, with every regional caveat named.
