Herman Miller Aeron review
The commenter works in an office that has Aerons for all employees and they've been using one daily for three years. They find it to be a good chair overall but not amazing or life-changing as some reviews suggest. It's comfortable enough for a full workday and the adjustments are useful, but they don't think it's dramatically better than a good mid-range chair. The mesh seat takes some getting used to and can feel weird on hot days. They appreciate that it's held up well with heavy daily use by multiple people over the years. For the price, they'd probably choose something else for their home office, but in a corporate environment where durability matters, it makes sense.
Pros
- Comfortable for full workday
- Useful adjustments
- Excellent durability with heavy use
- Makes sense for corporate environments
Cons
- Not dramatically better than mid-range chairs
- Mesh seat takes getting used to
- Can feel weird on hot days
- Not worth home purchase at full price
