Guide Review - Herman Miller Aeron Office Chair

What seems like just a few years ago Herman Miller decided to try a new approach to designing the perfect office chair, no ground rules, no preconceived notions. The design team with an open book, and an open mind, came up with one a modern design that not only works well with excellent form, but also excellent function.

The Aeron is a revolution in office furniture. Designed to interact with you and not just sit there. It actively intercedes on behalf of your health.

The Herman Miller Aeron Chair adjusts to any position you assume for any task you perform. The adjustments are simple, allowing you to change your posture regularly while working. It actually fits you. The Aeron fits you as an individual, not just you as a collective demographic. The three sizes it is offered in makes all the difference.

It is also designed to be Earth friendly with replaceable and repairable parts. This is the last office chair you really ever need.

The best part about the Miller chair is the Pellicle suspension system. Comprised of a special material that is strong and stretchy, it envelopes your back and bottom to support you while distributing the load over the entire area thereby minimizing pressure points. And the mesh allows airflow to your skin to keep you comfortable and dry.

Some may find the back to be slightly short for full support. The Herman Miller Aeron Chair supports the shoulder blades, the most essential part, but if you want full back and shoulder support you may be out of luck depending on your size.

The Aeron is expensive, ranging from $900-$1400 depending on the options. But repair and maintenance is affordable if it is needed. Although, prices have adjusted, and you can find sale prices, and base models for the $300-$400 range.

Overall, once you have the Herman Miller Aeron chair sitting under you, most people will be hard pressed to find anything to complain about.
