Aeron Home Office Basic Chair - Size C Large Graphite Frame, Classic Carbon

I didn't realize this chair was non-adjustable. It has seat height and tension, nothing more. This is my own fault, it is clearly stated in the product description, but I didn't think to look because frankly I didn't know H-M even MADE such a stripped down chair. I'm tall so the arms were in a completely unusable position for me. On the other hand, if you're not mechanically helpless, you *can* move the arms and lock them into the slot you want. You will need a T25 Torx (the six-pointed star shape) screwdriver to take off the arms. If you remove the back piece (mine was shipped with the back already off) you can see the bolt holding the arms on. Remove the bolt, pull the cosmetic plastic strip out of the arm groove, and screw the bolt back in the arm piece at the desired height. It took me about 10 minutes and the chair now fits me perfectly. So if you bought this chair without realizing the arms aren't adjustable, don't despair!

Buyer beware: This chair is ONLY adjustable for height (up/down). I have been researching an adjustable ergonomic office chair for several weeks and came across many glowing reviews of the Herman Miller line. Unfortunately, however, I purchased this model which does not have lumbar support, tilt adjustment, or other options available on many other models. I will be returning this chair. Look carefully at the item details and make sure you buy a chair that fits all of your needs, especially given the costs of the Herman Miller chairs.

This is a very comfortable chair even with out the lumbar feature. Reasonably priced and I would certainly buy another one.

An inheritance and a killing in the stock market lead me to feel I should upgrade from using a Coleman camp chair as my go to chair. This has proved a stylish substitute. I hit it with polish several times initially and would wipe it down lovingly and just look at it. It is one of the finest things I own and beautiful just to gaze at. Unfortunately the hydraulic up/down fixture leaks and I have to reset everyday. Pain in the whazoo enough that I just use the default setting. It is very comfortable, maybe more so than the under $200 office chair I purchased at Sam's Club for my winter place,but just a bit. After seven years aside from the up/down control it looks and functions good as new. Very well built,not just another pretty face. After reveling in my hot stuff,Silcon Valley startup work of art for a couple years I sat in my old standby, the Coleman camp chair($20-$30 at Costco 25 years ago/alas they don't make them anymore) and you know in a different change of pace way it was just as comfortable as the HermanMiller,not better, just different. Love 'em both, use 'em both.

It's a great chair but it's only getting three stars because a $729 ergonomic chair should have adjustable arms. My bad, I didn't read the description through, but non-adjustable arms that sit this low defeat the purpose of an ergonomic chair. It cost $200 additional to get adjustable arms and with it a bunch of other bells and whistles. I had the super fancy chair at work a few years ago and that's why I got this....but I did not realize that my former employer spent $900 on employee chairs. I had it good.

When I purchased this chair, I guess I didn't realize I was buying a bottom-of-the-line version. There's only ONE adjustment. Up/Down. That's it! If you want to adjust the arm rests, you have to completely take the back apart. Don't get me wrong, it's a comfortable chair, but I hate the fact that I can't lock it in an upright position. Every time you sit in it, it leans back. I would return it and pay the extra $200 for the model up from this if it wasn't such a hassel shipping it to Alaska.

I had used one of these chairs in the past but finally I purchased one for my home office. Best office chair I have ever used/owned. And Amazon price was best I could find anywhere!

It's my own fault, but I didn't catch in the fine print, this is a stripped down model of the Aeron chair, though it is selling for the price of the 'normal' full featured model. I cannot do anything to fix this now, but I'm stuck with a chair with no features of the real Aeron at all and paid through the teeth for what would have been the fully featured version from almost any other source. Lesson learned in my haste. This model only has two adjustments, up/down and tension on the spring, it is far from optimal. I was simply unaware they even sold a model of "Aeron" with no features at all. I'm a very tall guy and this model with the arms set for a 5'1" person is utterly useless. This chair has less lumbar support than some of the cheap Costco chairs I have around here, the adjustable lumbar evidently is an added 'option' . Yes, my own fault, but don't buy this chair, priced as the 'real' Aeron and expect it, just a warning.
