Herman Miller Aeron review

The owner has a 1997 Herman Miller Aeron size B that they're considering selling. While the chair still sits comfortably, both the tilt limiter and forward tilt knobs are broken and non-functional. They're uncertain about pricing because they don't know anything about repair costs or whether it's worth fixing a chair this old. They're torn between selling it for whatever they can get versus keeping it for personal use, since they don't have another comparable chair within 2 hours of their location. The main issue is that they lack knowledge about the resale value of a 27-year-old Aeron with mechanical problems.

Pros

  • Still sits comfortably despite being from 1997

Cons

  • Tilt limiter is broken and doesn't work
  • Forward tilt knob is broken and doesn't work
  • Age (from 1997)
  • Unknown repair costs
