Herman Miller Aeron review

The reviewer finds the seat is comfortable and easy to slide down in, which they like for two of their three use cases. The mesh back support is fine and ideal for leaning back. However, the seat is slippery and they constantly slide forward in it, requiring them to push themselves back into place every few minutes. The armrests are annoying because when they lean back to use a controller, the armrests can get in the way, and they don't like adjusting them constantly. They do appreciate that the armrest adjustability exists.

Pros

  • Comfortable seat
  • Easy to slide down in (for certain uses)
  • Good mesh back support for leaning back
  • Adjustable armrests

Cons

  • Slippery seat causes constant sliding forward
  • Armrests get in the way when leaning back with controller
  • Requires frequent readjustment
