“Herman Miller Aeron. Best chair I’ve ever bought and I’ve had many. They also just don’t wear out. Extremely well made with durable materials and service parts available.”
“Herman Miller Aeron. Best chair I’ve ever bought and I’ve had many. They also just don’t wear out. Extremely well made with durable materials and service parts available.”
“Sadly, shortly after getting it I noticed lower back pain, and the Atlas headrest also feels too low for me. Now I’m really unsure if I should have gone with size C instead.”
“I wanted to love my HM Aeron (supplied by work), but in the end my $150 Covid Office Depot chair is way more comfortable. Chairs are such a personal item and brand/cost don’t guarantee comfort”
“I bought one used off of a company that was closing down. It had a broken part. $50 for the chair, $25 for the repair. I bought the chair in 2004. I still use it every day in my home office.”
“The chair itself is in great shape, impressed with the refurb quality. Problem is that I'm getting a ton of pressure under my thighs on the front of the chair.”
“Well when I use it at home, I found that when i sit with my legs crossed (something i dont do at work), the frame digs into my thighs and is uncomfortable so Im getting a steelcase gesture instead”
“The seat is a snug fit, i have no real room to move without rubbing the plastic edges. When leaning back I also find that the plastic edge of the seat presses into my back. Again, its not game breaking”
“Bought mine 13 years ago for 450 cause an office in town went under, and they had a lot. Best choice ever. Id buy another if they ever broke. But parts are cheap.”
“But 3 weeks later and I'm not really having a great time with it. My butt hurts after just 2 hours of using it, my balls feel like they're being constricted, and in general it's just not all that comfortable.”
“Still prefer the aeron's armrest despite the lack of adjustments compared to omni. Everything else is a better fit for me on omni outside of heat retention”
“I had one at work a couple positions ago and it always hurt to sit on it. After a few months I finally stole a different chair from our conference room.”
“I bought one off craigslist for 180 two years ago. Still in almost perfect condition, just a tiny tear in mesh and the foam padding under the seat lip is crumbly.”
“I got an Aeron Size C but was too big for me. Also was getting tailbone pain. Returned and got the Mirra 2 and its been great.”
“I have one of those and after 15 years the fabric in the seat gave out. I called Miller and they sold me a replacement seat for a very reasonable price. 125 or something like that. Nice people. Nice chair!”
“They're comfortable if you have the right body type for them. But the hype is mostly hype. There's a lot of design oversights that adversely affect the durability of these chairs. Armrests held on by a single bolt, plastic internal workings”
“I have one but the reclining mechanism is broken as it just seems to go all the way back with no way to stop it.”
“This is the best chair. Cylinder on mine died this year after a decade+ - ordered a new one online, plus fresh base and wheels - even better best chair!”
“I have a used one I bought a few years back that still does the job as my home/work from home chair.”
“I broke the lever from mine this week and they don't offer replacement parts. Next chair isn't gonna be an HM”
“after half a year with it, I find it much more comfortable than any other chair I've tried and I have much less soreness from long periods of sitting”
“The aeron was no good for me - could never get comfy. But I went with a different Herman Miller and love it.”
“I've had an Aeron for my home office for 15 years or so and it's still awesome. Totally worth the cost if it's a good fit for you.”
“Love my chair - I tell all my friends how I bought it used for $400 and they think I’m insane …. Best purchase for my office ever.”
“I never found the Aeron to be very comfortable. Caused my shoulders to hurt after 5 or 6 hours.”
