Herman Miller Aeron Chair Size B Fully Loaded Posture Fit

I will start by saying, I could not have been most skeptical to buy from this seller after reading such a mixed bag of reviews. I felt like it was a gamble making this purchase even with such a deep discount. I am wondering if some of these bad reviews are just plain lies or people bending the truth to get what they want. So here is an honest review from me, someone who thought he was going to have to send this chair back before I ever bought one.This is all just 100% fact, no BS for people that really want to find a review that matters.I purchased the Herman Miller Aeron with posture fit in size B. Order placed Feb 28th 2018, delivered March 8th; just one week! I live in CA and mine shipped from Brooklyn, so I was definitely impressed with the speed. I actually took videos of my unboxing the chair since I was 100% anticipating a crap product, this way damage couldn't be blamed on me and I would have evidence.THE GOOD: Upon opening, I found a 100% genuine and in perfect condition chair. EXACTLY what I purchased down the last bolt. It came tagged with genuine labels, documentation, you name it, it even has the little "secret" bumps under the collar to indicate the chair size. This chair is, without a doubt, a genuine product. People were complaining that with the posture fit you need to push a little wire through the back of "such a nice chair", those people are morons it takes 1 second, it also does not hurt the chair in any way (given you have half a brain). It is also worth noting that you have to do this even if you buy it directly from Herman Miller themselves! I could not be any more pleased, I sit in this chair 8+ hours a day for work and has significantly helped my back as I used to sit in a cheapo Staples chair. This chair comes 90% assembled and came with an allen wrench, All that is needed was a Philips screwdriver.THE BAD: There was a tiny scratch on the leg of the chair that likely happened during its long shipping journey from NY to CA. I think one of the wheels got loose in the box and bonked around making a tiny scratch. SO WHAT DID I DO YOU ASK? I emailed them and within 20 minutes and 1 email with a photo attached, they sent me out a tube of touchup paint (Andrew was whom I emailed with). I also emailed him back a few days later to ask if he had a tracking number for the paint, he replied within 5 MINUTES! This touch-up paint will be wonderful to have no matter what, as I plan to own this chair for a very long time! I cannot say enough good things about this purchase and how I have been treated. Amazing customer service, 5 stars there no doubt in my mind.BONUS TIP: I bought new wheels that fit PERFECTLY and make this chair look even more awesome/modern. Also, screw tacky wheels! They are clear and roll like a freaking DREAM on hardwood floors. One gentle push and I fly across the room like Alladin on a dang magic carpet! Item I bought below, also adding photos of these wheels in album.Office Chair Wheels by Office Owl - for Smart Home Offices, Set of 5 HEAVY DUTY 3" Replacement Rubber Office Chair Casters, Cool Rollerblade Style Casters For Hardwood, NO NEED FOR CHAIR MATS!If you have made it this far through my review, good on ya! I hope this review has helped even one person give this company a shot and buy the chair of your dreams that you may not have otherwise been able to afford (like me).

It seems pretty much unused and in pretty good shape. However, there is a part missing: the "applique" that goes between the seat and the back that is supposed to guard the posture fit cable. I've tried contacting them several times in order to receive a replacement, but have not received a reply. I'm not sure the part is 100% necessary, but just beware that this definitely isn't guaranteed to be a safe purchase.

I stumbled on the Aeron by accident when someone had quit at a previous job and left a chair there. I loved it. I didn't learn until years later what the brand actually was (and how expensive it was) which had made it cost-prohibitive to own one for personal use at the time.With all the used/refurbished ones available, I finally pulled the trigger. Why spend $600+ on a chair when there are myriad cheap chairs available? I can only tell you that for me, I've been sitting on one of those chairs for years, and I get sore from sitting for any extended period of time. I have chronic SI/Lumbar pain, and the chair's structure (e.g. the mesh instead of a hard cushion) and posture support make it exponentially easier to sit in that a $75 chair, whether for a brief period of time or suffering through a long meeting. Just make sure you consult the size chart. I'm 6'0" and 174# and the Size B is comfortable, but cozy. My wife is 5'6" and 130# and she's completely comfortable in it. Because of the mesh, it also breathes incredibly well.As a reminder: All of these items are used/refurbished. Some of the negative reviews expressed frustration regarding the condition of the item. I'd say be aware of which seller you're buying from. Upon a recommendation in another review, I specifically purchased from WB Seating. My chair came sooner than the expected delivery date, was incredibly well packaged, and everything was in "like new" condition (it even smelled new). Instructions were included, and assembly was incredibly simple.

Overall this chair is great. It’s in good shape, nothing is damaged or old looking. Good way to save a few hundred as opposed to a brand new one.However, the instructions are for setting up a new chair and it’s unclear how to set up the partially configured used chair based on this. I suggest that you not bother reading them and instead watch a youtube tutorial for assembling a used aeron.Secondly, this company sent me a set of rollerblade wheels instead of the traditional aeron wheels I know and love. The insert claims they are an upgrade, however I found them to be a nuisance. They would float me away from my desk while I was sitting still trying to work. I followed the seller’s instructions to request the normal wheels and received them in the mail a couple days later. I wish they would ask if I wanted the rollerblade wheels. As if this is not bad enough, they are asking me to send the bad wheels back to them in the mail. I’m going to wait until I have a real reason to go to the post office to send them because I shouldn’t have to take an extra trip when they purposely didn’t send me what I ordered.
