Herman Miller
The model owners most often point to
Herman Miller Aeron chair
Office chairs owners run for well over a decade, with a parts-and-warranty reputation they cite often.
What owners say
- Owners report 15 to 25 years of use, many bought used or salvaged from office liquidations
- Fit is key: it comes in three sizes, and some find it uncomfortable or too firm for their body
- Repairable with a cheap back-mesh swap and plentiful used parts, though some dislike that newer models dropped the recline lock
