Herman Miller Aeron review
The reviewer highly recommends the Herman Miller Aeron chair, particularly praising its resale value and long-term cost effectiveness. They suggest buying used from Craigslist for $300-400 and note it can be resold for the same price years later. They switched from size C to size B after weight loss and found it more comfortable.
Pros
- Excellent resale value - can buy and sell for same price after 5 years
- Better total cost of ownership than IKEA or OfficeMax chairs
- Superior comfort and experience compared to cheaper alternatives
- Size B more comfortable after weight loss
- Made in the USA
- Iconic design with historical significance
