I got the C size of this chair for my office (I posted a review on it and you can see my verified purchase). Also, the one I got is in black, but the price was identical and I tried out both the B and C sizes in a local store.
At first it was difficult to conceive spending this much on an office chair but after searching for the best price, considering also shipping and taxes, I made the mental adjustment. The more time goes by, the better I feel about the purchase. If you spend a lot of time sitting, you’ve got to think about long term back health, and this chair has a very decent 12-year warranty (let’s hope the company stays in business).
The first thing you should do if you are prepared to buy this chair is go to a store and sit on the different sizes to be sure of your size. The B and C sizes cost the same right now both on Amazon and at most stores. I got the C because the B cuts off much shorter at the legs, the thighs, and B was too short for me by a good margin although I’m not especially tall. The B size cuts off shorter than those standard cheap office chairs you normally see, just to put it into perspective. At the same time, the C is quite wide – surprisingly so. I didn’t need the wideness of the C but I needed the length of the seat so as not to cut off short for the legs. One can adjust the arms inward, among other arm adjustments, to compensate against the wideness of the C. If you’re relatively short, the B should be perfect for you. If you get a quote at the store and include taxes, I’m pretty confident it won’t be competitive with this price even if you use a floor model price.
The second thing to think about if you’re going to buy an Aeron is which Aeron you want. This one, the PostureFit, is their top of the line. The lumbar support can be adjusted in and out, providing more lumbar support. The next Aeron down the line is a little cheaper but the lumbar support can only slide up and down, providing a set amount of lumbar support but allowing one to position it (PostureFit does not slide; it’s lumbar support position is fixed). I am confident that if you test those differences out in the store, you’ll easily find which one is pefect for you.
Now if you’re ready to pay this much for an ergonomic chair and you’ve decided which Aeron to get, the next thing to be aware of is assembly. Be prepared to spend up to half an hour on assembly. When you see the wires running underneath as part of the complicated lumbar mechanism, you’ll see why. I asked the guy in the store how long it takes to assemble and he said if he is uninterrupted, he can put one together in 25 minutes. It took me a half hour to assemble the first time, but I used the clear instructions.
The warranty is an important part of this purchase. I’ve talked with people that vouched for the fact that a service technician will come to your home or office to repair this chair as you go for a whole 12 years. Things happen that may cause you to get service. The mesh may tear and need replacement. A common thing, the guy in the store told me, is that the up-down mechanism may need to be fixed, and that is supposed to be an easy thing for the technician to fix. These chairs are designed to handle the weight of up to a 250 pound person. If you’re heavier than that, you may need to get the above-mentioned part fixed but the warranty will cover it.
Finally, after covering decision points and information points, the chair feels good to sit on. It’s the best I’ve ever experienced. I believe my productivity will go up as a result, and it’s just a shame more employers don’t pay for them considering that it is really a good investment in getting more out of an employee. I unfortunately had to pay for my Aeron myself. I love the chair and I provided it for myself at work at my own expense.

This chair is pretty expensive. But then I thought that if I study a lot, I would need a good chair.
I heard about this chair from a book called “Ichinichi 30 Pun wo Tsuzukenasai” by Yukio Huruichi. He recommended this chair and emphasized how important it is to invest on chair.
I did hesitate when I saw this in amazon because I thought the price would be at most $300. But alas, it was near $900. Took me a few days whether to buy it and I now can say it is worth buying it.
First, it was very easy to assemble. Just follow along the user’s manual. The only one that took me long was putting the cable through the fabric. Other than that, it was breeze.
Second, the chair is soft but firm enough to hold you up steady. I feel more light after seating on this chair and my spine feels less strained compared to any chairs I ever sat before.
Third, I like its design.
Fourth, the forward tilt is probably the best feature for people who study a lot. It is the best feature of this chair.
The only problem is that it doesn’t seem tilting back enough when reclining. But my purpose of using chair is to study with a good posture, not to take break and sit back.
I haven’t tried Aeron’s sister product Mirra chairs yet but at least I am satisfied with Aeron. I am sitting on it now, and it ia so comfortable. It makes me feel aligning my sitting posture correctly without getting any message.

My husband was having back problems from spending hours in his office chair. Ever since I got him this chair for Christmas, he hasn’t made a single complaint about his back. And not only does it offer great support, the chair looks fabulous in our home office. Well worth the price!!

Yes, it’s not cheap, but it’s certainly worth it. Excellent materials, great adjustability. It just feels right when you sit in it. Yes, my back is worth it.
