A furniture salesman or someone otherwise very familiar with the Aeron could probably identify a fake. You could also compare a verified chair with the purported real product. The most difficult aspect to copy is the adjustment mechanism. I would fiddle with the used chair to make sure that it adjusts height, lumbar support, and reclining like the real model. The weave on the back support is also not easy to copy. However, the backing can be customized, so there are multiple varieties that might appear on a chair. It's like with any other pirated fashion product. Trained eyes can spot the difference, but normal people usually can't. /Wher... ), but that doesn't cover used chairs. I think if money is a problem, buy chairs that are a little bit better than the crappy Staples chairs but don't cost that much more. If money is no object, then buy something of similar quality to the Aeron brand-new. If you're attempting to generate the impression that your company has more money than it really does through high-end furniture acquisition, buy the counterfeits, because those will satisfy your requirements.

There is a collection of lamps like this, featuring other animals. The horse, as you can see, is almost as big as a real horse. My theory was that being such an exceptional item - so very different from the norm - nobody would go through the drill of copying something SO peculiar and unique. Then a few days later, I was Judge in a design competition at one international furniture fair in South East Asia, and we had to judge best products and best booths. I came into one of the participating companies booths, and what did I find?A copy (I checked) of the Horse lamp, in full display. Just for the record, they did not win any prizes after that stunt.
