Simply the best, September 11, 2005
The Aeron chair has become the industry standard for high quality design combined with ergonomic sensibility. They last forever, are as comfortable as any chair ever made and look great in any setting. I would beg to disagree with the other reviewer who whines about price. The chair costs a couple hundred more than cheaper alternatives, but can you really place a dollar value on not having your spine collapse at 40? This is the BMW of chairs, so one pays a premium for the superlative quality and engineering of the product.
The Aeron is an excellent investment piece whose long term value is unquestionable. For anyone who sits for long periods and has ever had back, neck, shoulder, or coccyx pain, this chair is a must.

The best chair on the market, despite difficult installtion, March 6, 2007
Yes, the Aeron Chair is expensive. It's the Mercedes Benz of chairs - and with good reason. First of all, it comes in 3 sizes to fit all sorts of body types (check the Herman Miller website for a sizing chart). Secondly, it's extremely adjustable (assuming you get the "highly adjustable" version and not the "basic"). Everything from the tilt of the seat, the arm rests, and the tension of the reclining back can be adjusted. Thirdly, the pellicle mesh fabric lets your bottom and back breath, and never do you feel too warm while sitting in it for long periods of time (which is common when you work at an office). Lastly, the quality of the chair is first-class. The main supports are made of metal while the frame is made up of a hard, quality plastic. Everything adjusts and moves without any squeeks or loose parts whatsoever.
Be aware that you can buy the Aeron Chair in various forms - each having some form of options added or omitted. The PostureFit System is great for lower-back support. It's a subtle effect, but certainly beneficial. You can also buy additional casters (wheels) for deep carpet or for a smooth floor. The Aeron Chair also comes in various colors - Graphite, Titanium, and even an "Executive" version with a shiney chrome finish.
The only reason I didn't rate this chair with a full 5-stars is the difficult installation of the PostureFit system (typically a $30 option). While it's not complicated, it does take some strength and dexterity to fiddle with a tight tension wire and the back of the chair itself.

Solid, Comfortable and Supportive, March 9, 2009
The Herman Miller Aeron is the chair of choice for lumbar support with the added bonus of the mesh materal releiving pressure points. I have the highly adjustable model with leather arm pads for eight years now and it feels as supportive and comfortable as the day I brought it home. It was more than I could afford at the time but I certainly could not afford by back issues so I charged it on credit credit. Best credit card purchase I ever made. It is worth the investment. I have very little trouble with my back now. I attribute that to a good bed, a good chair and good body stretch. I hope this will be of help if you are "on the fence", take the plunge. You will be glad.
