@@prestonlester2439 I love it when i find comments that i can add useful information to, to say that i just bought the same fully loaded chair, i also got the Atlas headrest.
A thorough, balanced, thoughtful review. Great videography as well. All wrapped up with a droll sense of humor. I used to work for a high-end chair manufacturer, years ago and really appreciated your attention to the details of the design. What the heck! I guess I’ll subscribe, too!
Man I love everything about your videos, both visually and the content, especially the stuff you review, and totally recognize myself in your choices and motivations. I have an older Aeron which I bought in 2013 and it’s been a great investment. I have one complaint with it though, it’s the way to lock the arm rests which is something that you must turn with your fingers (and not being able to use the palm of the hand to help) and it doesn’t seem as stable as the new locking mechanism, every few weeks I have to unlock, raise back and lock again. I noticed the dust as well, weird! Keep up the good content!
I just tried this chair out at a local shop today, and I think I’m going to go with it over the embody, as cool as it looks the way the lumbar sits just doesn’t feel right on my back. I’ve heard there is going to be a price increase at the end of January and potentially another at the end of February so right now during there beginning of the year sale will probably be the cheapest I can buy one new for the foreseeable future.
Seriously considering swapping my Embody for an Aeron, but idk I need to sit cross legged some to alleviate my hip pain and the Aeron doesn't really allow for that.
Great video. Very thorough and straight to the issues that matter about the product. I even got ideas of design for my office. Thumbs up. I will certainly subscribe to your channel!
Great review video. The Aeron does come in 3 sizes, which does take care of the seat pan issue you mentioned imo, although it's not as flexible as chairs that come with a seat slider mechanism.
Hey man I've had the B size for like 3 weeks but the seat is absolutely killing my legs... It really fixed my back pain but I'm starting to worry that I just won't get used to the seat... Did you have any problems with this?
I was given 1 for work but it been 25 yes & I got a good 20 yrs at home till the mesh wad damaged. I loved it but it was big for me. Can u get narrow frame for small Fram skinny guys ? I definitely want the polished aluminium but a lighter mesh
Thanks for explain stage 0 thought i was going mad with a chair that rocks when locked in but mine has same play as yours. I'm thinking this is partly to do with the forward lean mechanism
Hey! I am on my second replacement of my alu version. What was or is your experience with dents, scratches out of the box? Feel like I am picky but I expect somewhat Clean work on this alu model... on the fence of ordering a new one actually..
Mine had very very minor scratches near the wheels on the frame if I recall correctly. Dents are unacceptable though. Definitely get a replacement even if its annoying dealing with returns, you'll regret it if you don't.
@@miskefelix thanks! I see something went wrong with my previous comment. Also thank you for the nicely put together video on this chair. I am going to ask for a new one... again. We examined the chair, but it still doesnt feel right to Just accept this. There is a small dent in the left arm on the back and even some black spots/nits (metal unpolished). Probably will forget about them someday, but I will remember them each time when I see them. Its a hassle but the cashback is not enough to compensate this I guess. Minor scratches ok, but a dent (even small) is just not feeling right :)
hi thx for the informative video. darf ich fragen woher du den stuhl hast? möchte auch einen bestellen. wie schlägt der stuhl sich ist du zufrieden? abo geht raus.
Received mine today in the same config but unfortunately there are scratches in the metal base. Has yours been completely without? Sad, because I don’t want to pay more for the finish that is now already damaged -.-
@@keepvogel123 I contacted customer care using the web form in their website. Will see what they say but for the price it’s not to tolerate tbh. You are also in Germany?
@@keepvogel123 you already got it exchanged once and it’s the same again? Did you order at the Herman Miller Online Shop and they exchanged the whole chair? Sad to hear :/ but if we don’t tell them, quality won’t improve.
@@Shogunsen I got a local dealer. But they are quite Swift as they Just receive them boxed from HM. Its the second one. First got bad dents and a dulled out area. This one has some dents in the armrest and some black spots (Just metal unpolished). I am going to get another I gues...
Everything, including my desk is black and needs frequent dusting, one more thing to dust shouldn't bother me. Anyways I appreciate the video in my search to find the best chair for me without being able to actually sit in some.
I love when videos validate my purchases.
I love when a top comment verifies all my bias and hope before I even watch the video
@@cann5565 I love when the comment to another comment describes my feelings exactly

Thanks! Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
“Depending on the time of the year and type of meal” 😂
And nice intro 👍🏼
How are the leather arm pads holding up for you? Also, have you added a headrest?

Great review! Congrats
Solid vid mate. Just bought one following your review. Many thanks 🙏
Man, grafite and black looks wayyyy different. I was looking on them yesterday at Herman Miller shop.

Awesome video, thx! I'm in Ger as well and about to order the same config you have. Cheers
Did you have to polish the aluminium often to keep it looking nice? How often do you have to polish it and what products you use?
Great review video.

I hope they make a seat adjustable some day!

You're probably using it too high.
What has been your experience now?
@@esoesjeff i returned it, it really had the worst seat. Currently own the Haworth Zody

Glad it helped :)
If you lean from -1 all the way back slowly, do you also feel a very slight unevenness at around the 0 position?
Thank you for the video. I was wondering what's that desk lamp? Looks very cool.
It’s the Dyson lamp, I have done a full review of it, you can find it if you scroll down a bit on the channel page
Great review, definitely need to look into ergo chairs
Aeron R - The GOAT
Thanks for the review!
great video!
nice fit as well! what zip sweater and vest are you wearing?
is it Lululemon?
The zip is from ASKET, vest is indeed Lululemon. Though from a few years ago.
what kind of footrest was that?
Nice review. Made me order one!
Hi Felix, have you looked into getting not only the Aeron chair, but also the Aeron stool as well?
Hi Felix, how does Felix's review fare to your purchase?
What's the footrest? The one from ikea is bad.
Can you tell me what the desk lamp model and manufacturer is? Thanks....Great video.
It’s the Dyson solarcycle, I‘ve done a review on it few months ago on the channel, you can check that out if you are interested.
Which foot rest are you using?

I’m curious why you chose this over the embody.
Didn’t like the design

Same here. What did you do? I dont want to be too picky..

Great review.
Do you use footrest all the time?
Yeah
that microphone pops a lot, it's hard to listen to with headphones
You literally got the same setup as me, except me having the Magic Keyboard etc. in white haha
Totally agree with you. The working environment which you work in is super important.

That's a wild video cut 💀
Good Video 💯%
Love your gilet. Lulu?
Does anyone else feel like they are always slowly sliding forward in their HMA?
nope, but embody yes

Man pays in euros but uses freedom units... what is this blasphemy?
Aluminum frame cheapens the design by a lot imo. Looks like those knockoff cheap chinese chairs.
very great video ! thanks ! I subscribe to your channel :)
