Completely worth it. Sometimes for tools or work products it makes sense to pay more. The Aeron has a 12 year warranty. With it I’ll be able to work more comfortably at my desk, which means I’ll work longer hours, and likely make more money through hours or raises. And it’s not surprising to see these chairs go for a decade or more without needing fixes, so I’m not gonna need to buy another for a long time. So it makes sense to me even fully loaded at full price. For the record this is the most comfortable chair I’ve ever sat in as well. I was blessed at an early job using one of these and had no idea it was such an icon. I searched and finally found it and knew it would be the one for me. Thanks for the video.

Bought one used and never looking back. It’s great.

It's kinda funny. When I graduated college and started working, mostly in a corporate setting from one company to another, often times I noticed all office chairs were Herman Miller's and never thought of it as in over the top kind of chair but a decent comfortable kind of chair, it kinda grew on me. However, it never never never cross my mind how damn expensive these chairs were until I started working from home, I missed it a lot so I thought of buying one and I was SHOCKED when I looked at that $1700 price tag. I'm so used to this chair by now, I think it's a great investment and never looked back.

The best Aeron Remastered review I have seen so far. And I have already seen dozens of them... :)

Have had my Aeron Remastered for about 4 years now. Haven't regretted it once. They came out to replace the gas cylinder last year as part of the warranty. I have size C, my wife has size A, worth every penny IMO.

Watching the videos from @minimalistik just for the setup in the background is worth it. The review of chair is a bonus..

I’m curious - what would you recommend for a better ergonomic chair ?

How low down can the seat go? Like what is the height from the ground to the seat when it is in its lowest setting?

Went to thé shop today and tried for Herman Miller modèls. I just ordered my onyx B. Cant wait to work on this pièce of art!!!!

Does the polished aluminium get scratched 🧐 , is the standard base better?

Hey how tall are you and what size did you go with B or C? Just to help me gauge

I'm 6'1'' 175lbs. and I recommend a size C. The seat does not hurt my legs because it is bigger on the C. The back of the chair should not come below your shoulders imo. The size seems most important when buying this chair. The seat is narrow so wider people may still be bothered by the hard plastic edges even in a C. For me it is just perfect and I love my Aeron remastered.

Where did you buy that large mouse pad? I need that

Would it be the same chair if you get it on Amazon ?

What color did you buy this one?

How do you get the 35% discount?

I have the exact same options. Mine is about 15 months old. I paid $2,000 USD. And...I regret it. Having said that, all office chairs are a bit uncomfortable to me so any issue is likely more me than the chair. Sometimes I wheel it aside and bring out my drum throne for relief.

just for reference how tall you are ? im not sure what size i would go for thanks

which do you prefer in terms of comfort between this and the gesture?

Great review! What is your weight and height?

Am 5'4 which size is good for me?

Which colour is the chair

3:14 "Solve" the problem with 3 sizes is not good, is better an adjustable seat, the B is too short for me but the C is too big! On the other hand, I'm amazed you chose the B and you like the seat because you looks way tall than me.

Helpful video! I’m between getting the size a or b but I’m torn! I watched your other video where you and your wife judged chairs and I’m similar to her size/height-does she like the Arron size b or is it too big for her?

What are those wrist rests?

I have had this chair for a few months now. I first tried the classic at my previous job and decided to buy a Remastered for my new WFH setup. I absolutely love it, but DO NOT buy this chair without either trying it ahead of time or being willing to return it. In order to love this chair, you have to buy the correct size, sit in it correctly, and even after all that you simply have to be the right “fit” for the chair. Some people will find that no matter what they do, their body comes in contact with the plastic frame (usually at the front of the seat) which is very uncomfortable. However if you get the right size, sit in it properly, and are the right fit, you will probably love this chair. It is true you can’t fold both legs in the seat without feeling pain. But the posture-adjusting aspects of the chair reduced my need to change positions much. That is one of the magical powers of the Aeron. Do your homework and test it out. While I think this is one of the best chairs I’ve ever sat in (if not the very best,) your experience could be the complete opposite. Additionally, this chair does have an excellent headrest that you can buy called the Atlas headrest. It is NOT made by HM but it is designed with the exact same look and materials as the chair, and it matches perfectly. I would strongly recommend it, but it is another 200 dollars or so. Cheers. Nice setup btw!

Is there any way for me to get that 35% rebate like you got, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Why didn’t you go for polished base? Do you use a headrest ?

Hi ! Any advice on getting that 35% rebate ?????

you should have gone for size C... i am 1,84 m tall. ab believe me i had the B and switched to C.. its about double comfy for me.

your option is plastic?

What keyboard are you using please?

I've had a HM Aeron for the past 8 years. The only bitch I have is that the seat is a bit slippery, so my butt is contently slowly sliding forward. I wish it was grippier. Other than that, I love it.

If I wanted to buy a headrest for this chair, would any one off amazon work with an aeron or does it need to be Herman miller branded to attach it?

Wow! How did you get that discount? :)

I am curious how you convinced your employer to partially pay for it. I bought mine alone, at full price, and spec'ed-out; I was too scared to ask my employer to pay for it 😬

Second or third? YEET

06:19 - how come you're saying that the chair can be locked in any position other than the main? I've got the Aeron Remastered to test, and surely it cannot be locked in any other position than the mail. I've sent an inquiry to the shop and they confirmed that. If you've got the tilt function enabled, there's no locking but only the so-called "tilt limiter".

I'm from Brazil, the price here is 2.2k (dollars), so... still thinking about buying one. Thanks

Took delivery of an Aeron recently. Disappointed in the product. Disgusted with customer service.

It’s good but too expensive for what it is and the materials used.

But what is it like to sit on? Do you even know what a review is

now i know where people who got easy money spend their money

As a long term user of the Aeron in my workplace (without chair arms) and I suffer from chronic lower back pain, I personally found the Aeron useless for my case and actually caused more issues for my back. About 1/3 of my workplace complained that the Aeron was no good for them. I personally, as did a number of others, got a chair 1/4 the price which was much better in regular daily use on my back and many other as well. For the majority out there, the Aeron is ideal, but based on my personal experience and my workplace, about 25% will find this chair not worth the money.

What's your height? I'm 6'1 and can't decide between B or C

It’s a shame that the base of the chair is now made of plastic on most variants. From personal experience it will sag over time making it impossible to even drag the chair over low pile carpet. For such an expensive item this is unacceptable. Herman Miller is refusing to fix this problem under warranty.

drawerers? lol

It looks cheap and not that of a big deal really.

Embody is better.

No padding, no buy

Great chair, but just like Thor's hammer not everyone is worthy.

All of you are crazy and have way to much money to spend this much on a chair.

Not worth what they charge for it . I buy from renoued company but no service no one is getting solve the problem since two months so I suggest don’t go with this

Joke retail prices ok at half price or less. My office chair cost £250 with discounts had it over 10 years still works well for long hours in use. Price of all chairs these days is pathetic rip off in the UK rather keep using my old chair thanks.

overrated

i have the remastered size B. 5' 10" / 160 lbs...... tip go buy an amia by steelcase. aeron pros: -front tilt function -floaty feeling but the novelty of it doesnt last -relieved my back issues somewhat aeron cons: -tight hips -blood circulation cut off in my legs after about 3 days of daily continual use. it'll make me limp sometimes -feels like im being pushed out of the chair with the lowest lumbar setting -butt slides forward constantly. gotta constantly push my back against to feel in good posture. -top of frame touches back -butt feels flat after a years use -its good for about 30 minutes i kept it so when my back feels out of whack i'll use it for an hour then go back to my amia. aeron is the chair i wanna love but cant. final verdict- C
