My wife gave me one of these for my 60th birthday. I was thrilled, and this ergonomic chair quickly cured me of various back and shoulder problems I had developed from long hours at my computer. My negative feelings about the chair have to do with two issues. First the mesh seating began to wear out after six years, and I had to put a foam cushion over it to slow the deterioration. Secondly, about the same time one set of wheels began to come off when I rolled the chair forward. On a typical day I would have to stop working and put them back on several times during a work session. For this price, I had expected better. I am now looking for a different chair. -- It was great at first, but . . .
I love my Fully loaded Aeron. Its very comfortable and it has been a great investment. I did some research on this chair and there are a couple of things which everyone should do and consider as I did.
1. Try the chair out in person at an authorized retail store. Sit it in to make sure it doesn't bother your legs the way some people mentioned it had bothered theirs. Often this is caused by the seat of the chair being too high so the weight of the legs is focused at the front edge of the seat, instead of distributed through the users feet.. Personally, I've never had this problem. Also there are three different choices of chairs which have 3 height ranges, and it can be important to select the right one.
2. Then, buy the chair from the retailer!
Don't try to save $40 from an online dealer and then complain when you have to put it together yourself. A quality store will not expect you to assemble the chair. I purchased mine from Room and Board in Oakbrook IL and had a very nice experience with those folks. They assembled it completely and it was well wrapped for me to transport in my car.
-- Several Things to Consider
My wife picked out this chair as a replacement for a large leather desk chair that did not provide good back support. The main issue I have is the unnecessarily difficult process of assembly, specifically the procedure for attaching the control cable for the PostureFit Lumbar Back Support. It requires poking a hole through the back fabric of the chair and then inserting the tip of the cable, which is flexible and doesn't want to go through the fabic, so that it can ultimately slide into a keyhole slot in the PostureFit assembly. After about 1 hour of fiddling, cursing and employing all kinds of superflous tools (such as vice-grips) it finally went together. The whole process could have been made much easier by Herman Miller if they had simply pre-punched the hole in the back fabric, with the proper diameter and location, and inserted a cheap rubber grommet to define the location of the hole.
Other than that, the chair is comfortable (although I have made it more comfortable by adding a sheepskin cover), has adequate controls and is an improvement over what I had before. -- Assembly is more difficult than it needs to be
