Thank you so much for watching if you would like to order a remanufactured Herman Miller Aeron then go to www.crandallof...
I totally agree with you using aeron for past 2 years.
1. Hard frame is noticeably uncomfortable
2. Arm, esp. when I lean back and forth arm heights are not on position.
3. Yeah I wish aeron had seat adjustment option when lean back for sure
4. I could live with that 😅
5. It was ok for me maybe because i don’t change settings after i hit the sweet spot
6. Agreed. Even im using newer one, still don’t push my back enough
7. Don’t mind color that much but, it definitely collects all the fabric dusts under the seat 😂
8. Agreed
9. Agreed
Great review!
Thank you for your insight and for watching!
How tall are you?
What size you have? Size B or Size C?
@@GSP2100 5'11 used c for 6 months and switched to b with other aeron user and it was right move
When i was shopping for a chair about a year ago I tried several including the Aeron. Never sat in one before and read about all the hype about it. I work from home and so needed a comfortable chair for many hours a day. It only took me like 15 seconds to realize that it wasn't for me. I didn't like how the seat pan "cupped" around the sides forcing a very ergonomic posture. To me, compared to all the office chairs I had sat in for years prior, it was uncomfortable. The choice was between an Amia and Leap v2 and I chose the Amia and love it.
Great choice the Amia is a great chair!
I appreciate these types of videos.
Video’s I would like to see include:
- Comparison videos of Herman Miller/Steelcase chairs (i.e. Leap v. Aeron)
- Comparison videos of chairs within a product line to understand what you get as you pay more (I.e Steelcase Series 1 v. Series 2 v. Leap v. Gesture)
Great Ideas! Thank you.
Important to note that this is about the Aeron Classic, not the Remastered. The Remastered addresses points number 1, 4, 5 and 6. The seat front no longer being padded is vastly superior, it's much quieter, you only need 2-3 turns to notice a real difference in tension and the Posturefit SL hits a much larger vertical area. If it hits too low for you, you can decrease the tension.
Correct!
Point 1 is the reason they have 3 sizes..?
All great criticisms of the Aeron, which I use daily.
When I brought my Aeron home from the office during COVID (the chair is provided by my employer), your first criticism was the same one my wife had. If you are a person of any size, that hard seat edge is going to be uncomfortable.
After much searching for a chair for my wife, which included an in office trial of the Concept Seating 3150 task chair, the Leap Plus (from Crandal) ended up the winner. It made enough of a difference that I bought a second one for the rare times she is in the computer at home.
The leap plus is too wide for my narrow frame so I cannot adequately review it but I suspect I would prefer the standard Leap to the Aeron. However, the Aeron is a solid chair and once adjusted, performs well over an 8 hour day.
That said, my personal favorite that I have experience with is the Steelcase Criterion high back version. When I do go into the office (I mostly work from home) I use the Criterion. I find everything about it suits me better than the Aeron. However, the Aeron is still a good chair and the difference between the two is not enough for me to invest in a Criterion.
Thank you for your insight an perspective.
Thanks for the video, my favorite chair, but your criticism was accurate. My wife's Mirra is superior(borrowed it for a month) but Aeron has the look and durability I love.
There are definitely great aspects of this chair.
When I first messed around with the lean tension on my Aeron, I though mine was broken given how many times I could turn it.
lol yes
Should you lower the chair if your legs pinch?
When i tested one I thought the tension nob was broken because the shaft doesn't spin and I couldn't feel a difference until I did it like 50 times
The pinching is a difficult one because a lot of people have this issue and there really isn't a one size fix all answer to this. As far as the tension knob is concerned that is a beast to get the correct adjustment.
I will also say after reducing seat height I no longer get pressure on the legs. Before I adjusted to proper height I had the leg irritation too. Now I can sit for hours.
Very good insight!
How tall are you?
What size chair is yours? Size B or Size C?
Could you guys please do a video on different color ways and combinations for your Remanufactured v2 Leap? I want to order one but I get really confused when I choose the 3D Bioknit fabric. It only gives me the option for the back and not the seat. I'd like your softest, flexible, more breathable fabric and I think its the Bioknit.. Then whats the difference between the 3D and normal Bioknot? Also why can't I get it for the seat too? Its just really confusing on the website ordering one in a color/fabric I like.
Sorry at this moment our bioknit is out of stock. That is why you are seeing for back only. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Mesh allows sound to pass through which makes the chair loud. That's a good one.
Thanks!
8:12 good times
It's so weird how they decided to keep 3 sizes vs adding seat depth in the remastered.
Excellent chair, but hate how you can only sit in it the way it wants you to.
I love my big boy size c chair, but I can just as easily fit an a or b size. I have lost 100 pounds though so at one time the c size was preferable.
I think you are exactly right, you have to sit in the Aeron the way it wants you to sit in it.
However, I think this may actually be a feature. Granted, not everyone will appreciate it.
What I mean by that is the Aeron kind of forces you to adopt good body posture to make it comfortable to sit in. If you sit for 8 hours a day, having an ergonomic work space can be important. Given the choice, many of us (myself included) would adopt unhealthy habits (like sitting with one leg tucked under the other). By making these options uncomfortable, the end result may actually be a more beneficial experience for the user.
Just a thought.
If your legs and body are in contact with the frame, it means that you should go up in size...
I gave up on the lean back feature a long time ago.
Yea it's a doozy
Best thumbnail ever haha
Thanks We've been trying to make our thumbnails convey the emotion we feel!
I have an Aeron Classic and agree with all of this. The hard outer frame is the worst for me. The Remastered is a slight improvement though, but I'd rather have something like the Nightingale CX6200
Thanks1
Classic Aeron all the way. Sure, it's got its flaws but it feels like a cross between a comfort chair and a task chair. I put a throw blanket on my seat which solves most of the seat problems and keeps my butt warm because I keep the office temp rather low. I'm tiny so a B size feels like a C size would to someone of normal size. Can easily sit cross legged. And No Buttons for arm adjustment. They break or feel loose. Lever tension adjustment is just fine. Until they break. I really abuse the arms so I've had to replace an arm because the plastic bit connecting it to the chair cracked. Fortunately the thing is modular and parts are easy to come by. Stop with the plastic. You're carrying humans. Heavy chair is good.
Very good points.
No Seat Slider KILLS the chair
Who offers the REMASTERED?
You can order the remastered directly from herman miller or find it used on facebook or ebay. We don't sell that chair at this moment.
I got my Herman miller aeron for $20
Let's Go!
so it's garbage, thanks steelcase
lol
