Herman Miller Aeron review

The person notes that one potential issue visible in the morning photo is that the armrests appear to be too high, which is causing the shoulders to hunch upward. They explain that armrests should allow the shoulders to relax naturally without elevating them, and that having them too high can contribute to upper back and neck tension as well as the overall slouching posture. They recommend lowering the armrests and adjusting the angle.

Pros

  • Adjustable armrests allow proper shoulder positioning when set correctly

Cons

  • Incorrect armrest height causes shoulder hunching
  • High armrests contribute to upper back tension
  • Armrest adjustment affects overall posture
