HERMAN MILLER AERON MINERAL SIZE A REVIEW UPDATE After Using It 4 MONTHS (Including Tinting Issue)
Vložit
- čas přidán 15. 08. 2024
- In this honest review update of the Herman Miller Aeron chair, I wanted to share with you the things I found interesting after 4 months. I go through a lot of detail on the various things I found after using it in my remote office. From the Size A model version of the Aeron chair, to the questions around the lumbar, arm rests, and even whether the Mineral color stains (yes it does)!

I own 2 Aeron chairs. I bought my first on over 20 years ago and I've used that chair more than 40 hours a week for that entire time. After about 18 years I had to replace the shock and I just replaced the seat. They last a LONG time! Well worth the money.
I’m on the fence but every video and every comment is telling me to make the investment
I own 2 Aeron chairs. 22 years old. Waiting to receive third one so I can get the headrest. Saw a used one here in Canada that was over 15 years old... $1,000ca.
Update - got my chair ☺️
Yey!! Like, Love, or hate? I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Quick note: It's not a headrest, it's a NECKrest (I think that's an important difference!) You are not expected to but your head in there, but the lower part of it /neck (which is were the tension is created). It's not that it's "short", but just where you should use it!
Regarding the headrest the Atlas is the one to buy, I'm very satified with it, perfect match and can be adjusted into perfection.
For adjusting the armrest height you should consider holding them not in the front (not holding the padding) but in the back (where you also unlock them). This should make adjustments significantly easier!
What a thorough and in-depth review. Thank you for the measurements along with context (your height/weight) for a realistic review of a super expensive investment furniture piece.
Easy way to tell classic vs remastered: Pivot point where the top and bottom connect - remastered pivot point is centered on base vs the classic pivot point is at the very front of the base
Thanks for making this video! May I ask how the coloration / tinting / staining is after 3 years of use now?
I do like this color best by far, so I am keen on buying one but I have read stories on yellowing and staining, not many but still, I would love to read your update on it's overall shape?
Great review thanks for answering my jean question and seat mesh size.
Thank you so much for measuring the height of the seat at its highest point, I haven't seen anyone else mention that in other videos
I really like how your office space is set up. That wall cabinet looks great
Thank you for giving an update. Very informative.
For me (and apparently you), I can't imagine being without it. It's changed my life and I'm not even kidding.
Do you actually use the desk behind you in this position? Is seems to be positioned very-very high, especially considering that you have an Aeron size A. I am currently sitting on B and I have the same Ikea drawers near my desk and the desk is position ~6-8cm below the drawers top
How did you get headrest my aeron did not come with the headreast !!
Were you ever able to remove the blue staining on the seat with a magic eraser? That can usually remove most marks on things. Did the discolouration increase with further use?
super informative~! thank you!
Are you still happy with the chair?
Great review of the Aeron Chair. I really like your shelving in the background. Where did you get them from?
Is the leather armpad worth the upgrade?
I don't think so, but I got it anyway :)
Actual: “Husband is wider than me”
CZcams CC: “Husband is whiter than me” 😂
thank you for talking so fluently that i didnt have to x1.5 the video.
I like my size C thank you for review video it was useful when I was shopping 4 months ago.
How tall are you?
@@Solidariity 6'4" 237lbs
Hey I just wana know ur final option before I make a purchase would u recommend the Aeron A in ur shade Satin or in Onyx (all yet black) and what are pros and cons pls leme know :)
Even after my stretching and workout sessions the neck pain and leg discomfort didn't release I have decided to purchase a new remastered Aeron from a reseller.. It should arrive today, hope it will be worth it and help during my study and gaming sessions
Do you find that it would be more difficult/uncomfortable for those who might have bigger legs/thighs?
great video . that headrest is nice looking. just wanted to mention from what i've been reading about this chair the only head rest you can put on the chair that will not Void the warranty is made by Atlas. Im not sure how true that is something to look at for anyone looking to add one .
That's what I've heard, but so far so great on the chair and headrest combo!
This video couldn't come at a better time. I'm looking to buy and there was a lack of reviews from people who've used this long term.
Thank you for the informative video, as visual representation is invaluable for people who fall in the Size A/B of the Herman miller chart because the official dimensions don't have a diagram. However, you did not measure the seat depth and the backrest height.
QUESTION regarding dimensions: What is the width of the entire seating section including the plastic frame on the ends that holds the seat (where it looks like the hardware was screwed in)? I have a unique situation where my office is in a closet and the chair needs to be able to fit through the doorway (silly I know but this is my only option lol). A response would be greatly appreciated! The doorway is 23'' wide and I've accepted I'd have to take off the arm rests :(
Can you also measure the arm rest all the way to the ground at its lowest setting? I haven't found any clear measurements on it and was looking into the chair as well. I just want to make sure the height of the arm rests at it's lowest setting is comfortable for me and does not have any issues with the height of my desk. I'm about 5'2 and 1/2 around 110-ish pounds.
Very informative, thank you! Glad to know there’s a headrest attachment. I’ve been torn between this chair and the Steelcase Leap/Gesture. I prefer the mesh material over fabric & leather though.
I have an aeron remastered at work and a leap at home. Aeron without a doubt. Leap doesn’t conform to your back as well as Aeron, and in turn, doesn’t support your lower back as well. Sure leap is a bit more adjustable, but leap leaves me tense after 3 hour session. Gotta stretch my neck, legs, crack my back etc. Aeron, don’t need to do any of that after 8 hours.
a classic chair will have a small cushion toward the lip of the seat under the mesh the remaster doesnt.
First time I seen an Aeron that small, its so cute, its like a mini aeron :D And I thought the Aeron C was small :P
Do you think the 'tile limiter and seat angle' is useful? Trying to buy one from their website and it costs $100
I honestly have not used the tile limiter in the last 6 months at all...it stays in the same position :)
Can you tuck a leg under your other leg with this chair (cross legs) and is it comfortable?
Main way to tell Classic vs. remastered is remastered has a knob on the left side vs. classic has a couple of levers. Remastered also hides the 'wires' much more. If you have the dial on the arms, it's a pretty old classic. I had both, and in terms of comfort, honestly they're very comparable, but I'll give a ~10% 'comfort' edge to the remastered in terms of comfort, as long as everything else is working properly on both. (If you get a classic, it is probably used and may or may not be in ideal condition.) There are lots of parts for the classic, like the sliding lumbar and the gas cylinder available on Amazon that you can use to bring the classic up to 'like new' condition for pretty cheap.
You always have the best reviews, love it!
Hello, what kind of standing desk do you use? Thanks!
I'm in day 4 of my Aeron, size B. I'm 5"8" and 160. I find the back support wonderful but the seat bad on my circulation. My question is: does the mesh break itself in after a few weeks?
I think it does! The mesh is definitely a little less firm.
I'm 5'7 and 132 lbs. I returned the Aeron size B because of the seat pan being a little deep. Should I try the size A?
very good review. if you don't mind, what's the cabinet under your desk ?
Thanks! It's the Ikea Alex Cabinet (comes in a bunch of different sizes)
Hey! I just came across this video! I'm currently look to purchase this chair and your video has made me want to change my mind about getting the mineral color instead of the black but I was jw, how has this chair held up overall since this video/a year ago? Also, has the dye from your clothes stained the plastic part of the seat anymore than the little bit that you showed us?
no dye! its been a great investment and most comfortable office chair i have had to date!!
@@sengnickersontech thank you!!
can you tell me your height? I don’t know which size is fit for me. I’m 5’2”. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks 😊
i am also 5’2” at 135ish. Its perfect! My hubs will sit in it and he is 200 at 6’, and its a tad small for him.
Great review! Got one the same like yours and love it! However, is your set up with your desk where your arm rests are the same height as your desk? I found out that my new stand/desk Autonomous cannot be lowered more :( I am 172cm height and need about 70cm height desk, but mine is 75cm 🙈
My arm rests are about 1cm too short than my desk :(
@@sengnickersontech Use 3-4.5 inch casters ;)
Hi Seng, I just took delivery of the Aeron Remastered B size, however, I think it might be too small for me. I don't like how the plastic on the sides of the seat pan rollup against my outer thighs, I feel fatigued after a few minutes. I think I'm going to have to try the C size.
Months later: How’s the C for you?
@@EditioCastigata hello and thanks for your follow up. Regretfully the chair didn't work for me and I had to return it to the manufacturer. I sit wide and found that my thighs were sitting in the curved plastic section which was not comfortable. I probably needed C chair however I'm only 5'8" and I thought I'd have a problem with the depth of the chair. A friend of mine recommended a Steel Case chair. Do you know anything about them ?
@@ericmundsinger6 Thanks for coming back to this! Unfortunately, for you and perhaps me 5'9", I’ve a Aeron inbound (in B). But then everything’s an upgrade if you made to with a garden chair the last 12 months. :-)
Avoid remaster Aeron model...the mesh/fabric tear off about 3 years. It is material problem.
I'm 5'8 and thinking about getting Size A. The mesh width (16" - 19") fits my body. Open to feedback.
I'm 5'6 and I measured out the 16'" of the mesh. I certainly fit into that space but that leaves very little wiggle room before the plastic wings start turning up. I am re-thinking size A on that basis alone although I would prefer the lower seat height of the A v B. It makes it very hard to decide without anywhere to try out an actual chair before buying.
HM have a size chart for height/weight of individuals.
OK, here is my feedback on size B that I ended up buying. I went to the physical store and tried B immediately after taking a look at size A. Let me put it it this way, size A is way too small for someone even as slender as me at 5'6 and around 140lb. Measuring is one thing but trying is the finally arbiter if this is possible. I know some people don't have access to a store where they can try out the different sizes.
@@AncoraImparoPiper Sitting on a size B now. Amazing. Love it!
I assume you have the engineered now h3 headrest and i'm not 100% sure but i think it can void warranty( it can break the plastic apparently) and the atlas headrests are aproved by herman miller.
Yes, I have the engineered h3 headrest, and I think you are right. So far, the chair and head rest is great!! I'll post back if it fails me in the next 12 years ;)
CEO reaction
I work about 40 hours a week -> 😀
Maybe a little less -> 😱
Because I’m sometimes standing -> 😀
Headrests makes no sense to me as most of them are too far forward where your back shoulders aren’t touching the seat. I would think you either have a neck injury or hunch back that would require you to use a headrest.
When you give a six-month to 1-year review, could you talk about the mesh seat regarding if it is firm or soft compared to other chairs that you have? Is the tension on the seat evenly distributed, or are there areas where the tension is different? Additionally, if you sit on the edge of the chair, how does it feel? Awesome chair review. The comment about the measurements helped!
I got this chair in 9/20, so this 11 month update: still love it. still semi firm and better than the $750 corporate chairs i sage in when i lived the corporate life. i love this chair - great investment.
Dont you find the arm rest width tooo wide for your body?
Not at all! I will take this as a compliment though - made my day :) The arm rest swings in. Also, remember that I sized down to an A, so that might have made a difference.
That desk is ridiculously high lmao
I realized most reviews about the Aeron are because of seat airflow, but's it's mostly men talking about this and I've determined this seat might make more sense for men than women because at least in my case I don't need to keep my balls cool and sometimes work with my laptop on my lap. Anyway I ended up getting a 550 egro chair and I really like it so far because it's helping me sit up straight, but I definitely think there are some features on these chairs that might make them more appreciated by men than women for certain reasons.
This is too funny. Thanks for sharing your thoughts :)
Man here. (Is this mansplaining?!?!) Balls are usually above the leg-line. Any airflow can be uncomfortable for (anyone’s) backside though, in cold seasons. You’d have to sit on a blanket. I guess that’s why the Aeron is less popular in Europe.
More technology than StarTrek 🚀😂
Ha!! I wish.
Don't get how it's not perfect, but its prolly just for clickbait purposes
It’s not perfect because the jeans stain on the material.
“Aaron Miller chair”
You're an artist?

Informative, helpful video, but why can't you just use the metric system?🤷🤦🤣
