The best Aeron Chair info anywhere!

Over the last few years, our team has purchased a number of Aeron Chairs on the Internet. We've had both good and bad experiences. Don’t be fooled – no one buys an Aeron Chair at the list price. Any discount off of the list price is a fake sale!

To learn more about the Aeron Chair by Herman Miller, click on any of the information links on the right side. Don't forget, when comparing stores, to ask for all costs involved (including shipping and associated taxes). Make sure you acquire your Aeron from an Authorized Herman Miller Retailer.

Before you buy your Aeron Chair:

There are numerous sites selling the Aeron Chair. How do you know which place is right?

With our expertise, we know what questions to ask and what the answers must be – here are the rigorous criterion that we used as a checklist when researching Aeron sites:

1) Do they have all the available colors, and are they in stock?
All 25 Aeron colors, both frame colors and three sizes should be stocked and ready to ship, if not, it takes more than a month to get the chair from the factory.

2) Do they have all upgrades in stock?
All the following options should be stocked and ready to ship:

• Hand double-stitched premium Herman Miller leather armrests.
• Casters: standard, hard floor, deep carpet and glides
• PostureFit^® back support system (PostureFit should be partially attached)
• Polished aluminum frame.

3) Do they ship fast, via FedEx?
All Aerons should be in stock, ready to ship out within one business day. FedEx is important as UPS has been known to damage.

4) Do they ship for free?
All new Aerons should ship free via FedEx.

5) Do they have a lowest price guarantee?
Prices quoted by other Authorized dealers should be bettered or matched and quantity discounts should be offered.

6) Is the entire order placement experience informed and efficient?
Order takers should be knowledgeable product specialists with extensive Herman Miller product training (not just reiterating features and specs), including completion of Herman Miller’s “You Know It” program and hands-on practice in custom fitting people in their chairs. An order taker reading from a sell sheet won’t have the information or experience to answer all your questions satisfactorily.

7) Is the store an Authorized Herman Miller dealer?
Authorized dealers are those who are sanctioned by Herman Miller to sell their products and offer the full Herman Miller warranty, and solve any problems that may arise.

8) Do all Aerons have a born-on date to qualify for their 12-year Herman Miller warranty? All Aeron Chairs must have a born-on date to receive a full Herman Miller warranty.

9) Is a Certified repair service available in case your Aeron breaks?
Certified Herman Miller repair centers are the only places qualified to repair or refurbish damaged Aerons to Herman Miller’s exact specifications with genuine Herman Miller parts.

Not sure what type to buy?

The Aeron Chair is so versatile that it comes in 3 sizes and two standard configurations: Basic and Highly-Adjustable. When shopping online for the Aeron Chair, make sure you understand the difference in these two models and the benefits of each feature.

The Highly Adjustable Aeron Chair
The Highly-Adjustable model is the Aeron Chair at its finest. This model includes ALL of the "bells and whistles" of the Aeron, which makes it more accomodating to a wider range of users than the Basic model. By offering additional features not available on the Basic model, this chair is at a slightly higher price point. Its features include:
	MSRP	from $949.00 USD
	Pneumatic Lift	Adjusts the height of the chair.
	Kinemat® Knee-Tilt Mechanism	Patented technology that allows the user to naturally pivot at the knees, hips, and ankles simultaneously.
	Tilt-Tension Adjustment	Tightens or loosens the resistance of the chair when leaning back.
	Adjustable Armrests	Pivot inward and outward and adjust vertically.
	Tilt Limiter	Controls the range of motion on your Aeron Chair when tilting forward or backwards.
	Forward Tilt	Positions the seat of the chair 5 degrees forward for proper computing posture.
	Your choice of: Adjustable Lumbar Pillow or PostureFit Lumbar Support	Lumbar pillow provides support on the lower back and is vertically-adjustable; PostureFit is a wishbone shaped mechanism that assists in filling the lumbar "void" between the chair and your back while sitting.
The Basic Aeron Chair
The Aeron Chair, even in its most basic form, is still jam-packed with more "bells and whistles" than most ergonomic office chairs. The Basic Aeron Chair model allows users to enjoy the sophistication of Herman Miller's classy Aeron Chair on a tighter budget. Its features include:
	MSRP	From $749.00 USD
	Pneumatic Lift	Adjusts the height of the chair.
	Kinemat Knee-Tilt Mechanism	Patented technology that allows the user to naturally pivot at the knees, hips, and ankles simultaneously.
	Tilt-Tension Adjustment	Tightens or loosens the resistance of the chair when leaning back.
	Fixed Armrests	Armrests are not adjustable vertically or horizontally.
	Optional Adjustable Lumbar Pillow	Provides support on the lower back. Vertically-adjustable.
