Herman Miller Aeron

The Aeron is an exceptionally well-built chair with excellent back support, comfortable arms and a top-tier warranty, but its firm seat, missing seat-depth and arm-width adjustments, and multi-size requirement make it a polarizing choice that suits some users far better than others.

The Aeron is a comfortable, well-ventilated chair that the testers consider a good choice for daily use, though its high price and somewhat limited adjustability keep it from being a universal pick.

The reviewer found the Aeron to be among the most ergonomic, adjustable and durable office chairs available, with comfort that held up over months of daily use, though its very high price means it only suits those without budget constraints.

4/5

A superbly built, sturdy and breathable ergonomic chair that feels premium, but its high price, lack of a headrest and limited armrest adjustment mean cheaper rivals offer more features.

The page is a paywalled Consumer Reports listing that describes how office chairs are lab-tested, but the Aeron's actual scores and conclusions are hidden behind a membership wall, so no real evaluation is available.

The updated Aeron keeps the comfort and iconic look of the original while being lighter and stronger, and the reviewer considers it the ultimate office chair despite its steep price.
