Arms, tilt and back support are configurable, and Herman Miller backs it with a 12-year warranty. Its price is high even on sale, and the three-size system means buyers should check the sizing guide before ordering.

What reviewers and owners say

  • Tom's Guide

    Positive

    The refreshed Aeron stays comfortable and highly adjustable, now lighter and stronger with new colors, but it costs far more than rivals despite a 12-year warranty.

  • r/OfficeChairs · u/sire_blumpkin

    Mixed

    A workplace user finds the Aeron Size B slightly too small for his longer-legged frame, though it works fine since he rarely sits for extended periods.

  • r/OfficeChairs · u/Kryzih

    Critical

    An eBay buyer found the Aeron comfortable but under-adjusted for his body, lacking lumbar and seat-depth options, and prefers a cheaper chair he bought later.
