Herman Miller Aeron Ergonomic Chair – Size C, Graphite Home & Kitchen

Try before you buy

I was very excited about this chair and I want to like it. But honestly, it isn’t as good for me as a mesh chair I had for half the price. I have lower back issues and this chair seems to exacerbate the problem. The chair is very adjustable and high quality but I wish I had tried one out before I bought it.

Amazing chair

I had the chance to use one at the office in the late 90’s at Enron offices. You know Enron spoiled all the employees, money was not an issue! ;)Well, I suggest that you should not try this chair, stay away from the chair. If you do, you will buy it right there. Yes, it is that amazing.In the 90’s had some flaws and I can tell you those flaws are not there anymore. They addressed them and it made the chair even better.I fully recommend it.

Helped with low back pain.

Long gaming sessions and some home productivity would really do a number on my low back. With the Aeron, I have not had an issue and while it doesn’t necessarily appear to be a comfortable chair, it really is. It seems to hug your frame in a way that is new to me, especially when you lean back a bit. If your budget can handle it, and considering the 12 year full replace/repair warranty, I feel it was a smart and worthwhile purchase.

Great office chair.

Gave 3 on support because I never had to deal with it. I’m 6’6″ and ~270 lbs and this chair has basically eliminated my back pain in a few days. It’s easy to get the directions on adjustments online and registering the warranty is simple. Chair arrived requiring no assembly. Just pulled it out of the box. It’s not a chair to take a nap in or laze about in. For that, get a big couch.

Worth every penny

Your friends and co workers will laugh at you, your partner will be pissed (until they sit in it), but don’t listen to any of them. This chair is worth every single. I spend a LOT of time at my desk between working from home, making music, and playing video games. Don’t judge me! Before this, I had spent $300 on the Duramont Erganomic chair, and it’s a great chair, but after a couple years my butt started straining the cushion and it was causing me weird physical pain and restlessness. The minute I sat in this chair, which arrives pre-assembled in a gigantic box, I knew I had done the right thing. Do yourself and your butt a favor, and get this chair.

it’s perfect! For me

Ok… it’s perfect! For me… I mean it simply isn’t going to work for everyone. I’ve sat in everything popular and while they all have super strong merits, this is a standard for a reason. PLEASE take your time and watch a video on adjusting the new one. It’s different, period. If you get the fully open “float” just right with the tension, it’s almost like a tailored chair.The quality is top notch. Nothing feels like it was made in China like every other “high-end” ergo chair. The color of this mineral is striking and so beautiful! And hey! Farting is just easier with the pellicle mesh. Am I right?!?

Stop thinking, just order it.

6-2, 240-ish, and comfortably in to his 40’s general contractor who still makes it a point to show the boys that the “office” hasn’t softened him up, then hides the chiropractor visits afterwards. Told myself to spend the money on this chair a year ago, but then the back loosened up again the thought lost it’s urgency. Back in chiro’s office on Wed, poorly hiding the pain, ordered before I went to bed that night. Chair delivered to office on Thursday and noticed an immediate difference. Seriously, quit thinking about it and just order it. It made enough of a difference that I left a review!

Good support with a bit smell from the armrest

It feels good sitting in the chair. A little smell from the armrest. Bought it for my wife who is pregnant. May wait a bit until the smell fades.

Expensive, but worth it.

I bought my last Aeron used, and it lasted me ~ 15 years, even with my cat scratching up the back of it. This time, I decided to buy it new. I’m kinda on the tall side, and some chairs just don’t fit me; this Aeron C fits me so well. Cost is the only reason why I’m giving it 4 instead of 5 stars, but I also wish all chairs came in sizes like the Aeron, were as adjustable, and had as much quality.

Well worth the money

Well worth the money! I still have my original Aeron that’s nearly 20 years old and still going strong. I wanted to upgrade a computer desk chair in another room, so I bought one of these redesigns. It hasn’t disappointed!It’s still a super comfortable chair for spending hours at a desk. The mesh has the right balance of support and springyness, and it’s very adjustable for height, tilt, and armrest height and angle.Just like the original model, every aspect of the chair looks and feels like high quality construction that still stand the test of time. HM has done it again. One thing missing is the leather arms option they had on the old model. I hope they’ll offer the same for these in time!

Great chair

Best chair I’ve ever had. I spend many hours on it, and it helps with my back pain. Highly recommend. It’s expensive but totally worth it.

A must have for office workers!

When I was looking around for a new office chair I knew I needed to get the Herman Miller Aeron. Working as a software developer I sit for long hours at my desk and I need proper support for my back. At my last job, everyone was provided a Herman Miller Aeron (though it was not this newer model), and I fell in love with this chair. I could sit for 5 hours plus and not feel any pain or numbness in my back or legs. The support this chair provides is out of this world, especially for the lumbar. I am 6’2 200 pounds and this chair doesn’t have any issues supporting me and I feel like I am floating in it.The features this chair provides are also fantastic. I especially love how I can adjust the back to force me to sit upright and close to my keyboard in perfect posture. To be honest, there is nothing like this. I’ve heard that some people don’t like the mesh cushion (which can be a preference thing), but if you do like it you cannot go back to any other ordinary office chair. You will feel the difference immediately. Going back to my desk, I actually look forward to sitting long hours in my chair.This chair may be pricey, but the way I justify it, it’s like buying a new mattress. You don’t want to skimp out on something you utilize so frequently. If you work at a desk for long hours, you need proper support, else you can damage yourself in the long term. The benefits outweighed the cost for me and I don’t regret spending the extra dollars for this. If this chair does last me over 12 years like warranty states, its money well spent.

Previously used and short seat

The chair itself is fine except for two things:1) the seat is too short to fit a moderately tall person, that is it does not support my thighs and my knees are are about 5″ away from the end of the seat thus putting undue pressure in my thighs in lieu of my posterior.2) the chair was obviously a return sold to me as new. The parts were simply thrown in a box and delivered. There were neither instructions nor any tools with which to assemble the chair, and, of course, I didn’t have an Allen wrench the correct size. (Sign).

Great Chair! New design takes some getting used.

This chair replaced an 11-year-old Aeron chair that I loved.Good:- the mesh is much better (feels tighter, vertical alternating stripe bands are also gone) – I wish I had replaced the pellicle on my old chair, tbh.- design and profile are lighter- plastic casing under the seat is thinner and more refined.- foam padding under the front of the seat removed!- Herman Miller logo on the back of the chair where the name used to be (nice and simple)Tolerable?- the base: – is no longer metal; I didn’t purchase the polished base – it is noisy when I scroll or reposition the chair at my desk (creaking and some popping) – I will probably buy hardwood floor casters to see if it stops the noise.

Excellent chair for long working hours

I am using this Aeron chair daily around 8 hours in my office. It provides excellent lumbar support and support for mid back. Seat is extremely comfortable to sit even for long hours. I have also used Mirra 2 in the past and hard to tell which one is better of the two chairs. I have back problem and could not work without this chair even for an hour. Only problem is that it doesn’t provide enough support for high back. I feel that the back of Aeron is not that high compared to Mirra 2. I hope Mirra 2 gets wire back similar to Aeron in future.

Solved serious lower back issues

Ok yes, it’s a $1300 chair, but I was desperate from serious lower back pain and I was willing to try anything. Perhaps it being so expensive made me think it must be THE best. Well…. I almost hate to say it but it must be. I’ve never been more comfortable (for long periods of time) in a chair than I am in this thing.I’m 6’1″ 275 pounds. “Big guy”. And it’s super roomy and supportive. I’m at my computer for sometimes 12 hours a day writing code and in my other Serta chair which in all fairness was an executive chair (this being a ‘task’ chair) I was literally having to go for physical therapy after long weeks of work. It was awful.Within two weeks of having this chair I have had NO back pain. NONE! In fact I worked 12 hours in it yesterday and thought for sure I’d wake up in crazy pain this morning but instead I felt completely normal. Which is why I’m writing this review. The chair really is amazing. It sucks that the it’s so expensive but looking back I don’t have any regrets now that I can work as hard as I need to without suffering physical detriment after ever session.Finally, I will say that my only two gripes about the chair is that,1. It has one squeak that kinda drives me crazy but it’s probably because I’m seriously overweight. Even so, for this kind of money I would expect it to hold an elephant without squeaking. Just sayin.2. The optional head-rest should not cost $180. C’mon guys. The chair? I get it. It’s a lot of math to figure out how to support the (body) correctly but leaning my head back to rest for a minute can’t possibly be rocket science. That’s a bit of a price gouge in my opinion.Hope this helps someone considering going this route. I personally had anxiety about buying a chair this expensive without ever having sat in one but desperation won the day and I went for it. Extremely pleasantly surprised and satisfied.Best of luck

Best chair I have ever used. Most expensive chair I have ever used.

Overall this is the best chair I have used. It provided better support for long computer sessions then any chair I have used. No more back pain! 🙂 It came fully assembled just had to take it out of the box (Love that). Only taking off a star due to the high price it should cost like $600 you pay a lot for the name. Shipping was fast!A few notes…If you think this is a chair you can lounge in your wrong. The way its designed you end up sitting straight up. If you don’t do this I have noticed some discomfort. Also spend some time to adjust all the settings. The posture fit for example took me a bit.. I thought I should have it on the max setting but I ended up being most comfortable with it almost all the way off. With all the said I have been very happy with this chair for long computer sessions 8 hours is no big deal and my back has not hurt at all. I did not realize how much my old leather Staples chair was making my back hurt till I switched to this the support for the lower back is so much better. Also this has a lot of moving parts vs. my old stationary chair, so that takes a few days to get use to the feeling of parts moving against each other. I do think they are over priced. I think it should be priced around $600 you are paying a lot for the name. However all the knock off version of this chair I have used are not even close quality and comfort. If you want one of the best chairs for long computer sessions this is it.

Excellent chair. Seller should have disclosed clearly it was re-manufactured.

It’s an excellent chair. Very comfortable and very customizable. I was very disappointed when I took it out of the box that I found it was remanufactured. That was not made clear. Read closely when you buy.
