Herman Miller Aeron review

The commenter mentions that the top 5 complaints they've heard with the Gesture are that the seat foam cushion makes it very thin in diameter compared to other chairs, and this issue becomes particularly apparent when paying $800 or more. They question whether buyers would feel the same if they received a cushion that didn't have this characteristic. Based on user feedback they've encountered, the seat foam appears to be a significant point of concern for potential buyers considering the Gesture at its premium price point.

Cons

  • Seat foam cushion is very thin compared to other chairs
  • Questionable value at $800+ price point given the thin cushion
