5.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable, high quality chair, worth the price, July 13, 2010

This review is from: Aeron Chair by Herman Miller - Basic - Graphite Frame - Carbon Classic Size C (Large)

I'm a little late posting this review (item purchased about seven months ago), but I wanted to use the chair for a good while before posting a review.

There are three sizes of this chair, each purportedly designed for people of different heights. I bought the large, even though I am 5'7" (I like a deep seat). I tried the smaller sizes in a retail location and found the seat back of the medium version slightly too shallow for me, and the small version very shallow. This is something you really need to "test drive" before purchasing.

I was having back problems (I spend many hours daily in front of the PC); I was using an old-fashioned wooden swivel desk chair (originally purchased from Pottery Barn, and passed on to me) after my desk chair broke. Progressively, my back got worse and worse. So, I deemed it was time to get a new chair.

Most of the chairs I examined at Staples, Office Depot, etc. were either uncomfortable or cheap (e.g.: cushioned with low density foam which I knew wouldn't last), so when I discovered the Herman Miller Aeron Chair, which I found to be very comfortable, and was convinced of its quality construction, I was willing to part with the $577.15 (sale price at the time) in order to have a comfortable chair with a 12 year warranty.

I love this chair. After a week or so of using it, my back pains disappeared. So long as the chair either lasts the 12 year minimum (warranty period) which I expect of it, or, should it need repair, is repaired by Herman Miller, I will be satisfied with the product and its price. As I see it, ~$50/year for a comfortable, high quality chair is worth it (my back says so, anyway).

Herman Miller does seem to have a good reputation for standing behind their product (i.e., honoring their warranty), based on the numerous reviews I've read about it on the 'net, so I'm unconcerned about this.

As for the chair itself, I bought the Basic version (non-adjustable arms, no lumbar support, and no forward tilt) and I don't miss these features at all. But, as I said, this is something you really need to test drive - you may find these features useful or an aid to comfort.

I didn't go into much detail regarding the physical construction of the chair, because, as I said, you really need to check it out for yourself in person before purchase. Suffice it to say that it's high quality and I'll be very surprised if it doesn't last a long time.

One last thing: your mileage may vary, but it took me a day or three to get used to the feel of the mesh seat. But, subsequently, it feels great and natural.

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't realize it was non-adjustable, April 12, 2011

I didn't realize this chair was non-adjustable. It has seat height and tension, nothing more. This is my own fault, it is clearly stated in the product description, but I didn't think to look because frankly I didn't know H-M even MADE such a stripped down chair. I'm tall so the arms were in a completely unusable position for me.

On the other hand, if you're not mechanically helpless, you *can* move the arms and lock them into the slot you want. You will need a T25 Torx (the six-pointed star shape) screwdriver to take off the arms. If you remove the back piece (mine was shipped with the back already off) you can see the bolt holding the arms on. Remove the bolt, pull the cosmetic plastic strip out of the arm groove, and screw the bolt back in the arm piece at the desired height. It took me about 10 minutes and the chair now fits me perfectly.

So if you bought this chair without realizing the arms aren't adjustable, don't despair!

I had used one of these chairs in the past but finally I purchased one for my home office. Best office chair I have ever used/owned. And Amazon price was best I could find anywhere!
