Herman Miller Aeron review
The poster tried the Aeron at a showroom and found it uncomfortable for their body type. They are on the shorter side and felt that even the smallest size didn't fit them properly. The seat depth was too much and the back support didn't align with their spine correctly. They ended up feeling like they were perching on the edge rather than sitting back comfortably. After about fifteen minutes of testing, they knew it wasn't the right chair for them. They emphasize that fit is crucial and that the Aeron seems better suited for taller individuals. They recommend anyone considering it to definitely try it in person first.
Cons
- doesn't fit shorter people well
- seat depth too deep for smaller frames
- back support misaligned for shorter users
- uncomfortable even in smallest size
