The extra parts still need to be built and stored in order to offer them, that's a huge increase in cost because it makes the difference between manufacturing and shipping and manufacturing, storing and shipping. Storage space ain't free buddy.

It's just a small shift in storage / management. Those parts are already stored separately before they get packaged into a box with all the other parts. This does not warrant a few hundred bucks, let alone a 1000-2000 bucks uptick. Please stop with those bullshit arguments.

They're stored to ship complete products, if you take a seat from storage for repairs then you're stuck with the rest of the chair without a seat.

Herman Miller also makes premium chairs so that explains why it's so much more expensive, but I'm sure you can find brands with parts available that are cheaper, just not as cheap as whatever you're buying now and there's a good reason for that.
