Herman Miller Aeron review

The commenter had a negative experience with the Aeron after using it for several years. They noticed that the mesh seat sagged significantly over time, and the chair didn't provide the support it once did. They also experienced issues with the tilt mechanism and found that the front edge of the seat would dig into their legs, causing discomfort. Despite trying to adjust the chair, they couldn't get it to feel comfortable anymore. They eventually gave up on it and switched to a different chair. They feel the Aeron is overpriced for what you get, especially considering the durability issues.

Cons

  • mesh sags over time
  • front edge digs into legs
  • tilt mechanism issues
  • overpriced for durability
