Herman Miller Aeron review
The commenter previously owned a Herman Miller Aeron for about five years before switching to the Zody II. They found the Aeron's mesh seat uncomfortable for extended sitting sessions, particularly during all-day work sessions. The hard mesh would cause discomfort and numbness in their thighs after a few hours. While they appreciated the Aeron's build quality and adjustability, the seat comfort issue was a dealbreaker. They ultimately sold it and don't regret the decision, preferring chairs with more cushioned seats.
Pros
- Excellent build quality
- Highly adjustable
Cons
- Mesh seat uncomfortable for extended sitting
- Caused thigh discomfort and numbness after a few hours
- Not suitable for all-day work sessions
