Behind the Scenes at Herman Miller's Test Lab

Herman Miller's products are pushed to the limit—and then some—in their Michigan Test Lab, where you’ll find weighted bags dropped into the seat of a chair, casters spun for days on end, and machines that wouldn’t feel out of place in a repair shop. Herman Miller test their products beyond what the industry expects—or requires—because they want them to stand the test of time. WHY? It’s all about the warranty. Many of the products tested feature a 12-year warranty: 12 years, yes, but also for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
