Herman Miller Aeron review

The reviewer bought a used Aeron from a local office furniture reseller for around $400 and has mixed feelings about the purchase. While they appreciate the build quality and recognize why it's considered a premium chair, they find the seat mesh to be less comfortable than expected, especially during longer sitting sessions over 4-5 hours. The sizing proved tricky for them as someone between sizes, and they feel they may have ended up with a size that's not quite optimal. The chair's reputation and resale value give them some peace of mind, but they're not entirely convinced it's worth the hype for their specific needs and body type. They're considering trying a different ergonomic chair to compare.

Pros

  • Good build quality
  • Decent resale value
  • Got it at reasonable used price ($400)

Cons

  • Mesh less comfortable than expected for long sessions
  • Sizing difficult for in-between body types
  • Not fully convinced it's worth the hype
  • Less comfortable after 4-5+ hours
