i am a big fan of the Aeron chair
Keep in mind that many used Aeron chairs are the older model that was produced until ~2016. The Remastered version is a lot nicer in my opinion (better back support, better construction).
The remastered one has a different mesh pattern and they removed a pad at the inner edge of the front of the chair. Other than that they’re pretty much identical in terms of back support (lumbar and spinal support are optional add-ons for both original and remastered) and construction in both is tremendous.
Definitely worth it. All the bells and whistles too
Absolutely worth it, but chairs are by nature person specific, so may not be absolute best fit for you.
Yes I love mine - haven’t had back, hip, etc pain in 2 years - also they last forever so worth the investment
Bought it used as well and worth it.

Well worth it, especially gently used or reconditioned
Is Arron the best chair to get from Herman miller you’d say?
Either the Embody or Aeron. Both are great, but recommend to test them (DWR or HM store) before pulling the trigger.
Pro
I have the areon and also another ergonomic chair from autonomous.ai
The HM is definitely better but it is 4x the cost :)
Not sure if I’d buy a used chair.
Thats a pretty insane deal for an Aeron, even used. You wouldn’t have a hard time reselling it and getting your money back if you didn’t like it.
Pros
- Extremely adjustable
- Mesh material keeps things cool
- heavy + solid build. Even a used one will last 10+ years easily
Cons
- No headrest, aftermarket ones are $200
- Even at the tallest setting the headrest digs into my shoulder blades unless I shift my hips slightly forward (for reference I am 6’)
- if I spread my legs slightly when I sit, the side of the chair digs into them
- the last two issues could potentially be solved if I had a size C chair instead of size B
Overall a great chair and for that price I would pull the trigger.
I do have the atlas. Its great but I wish it would telescope just an inch higher on the size b chair.
Worth it. You spend all day in the chair.
Buy new. I’m sure the owner tooted, I don’t buy used furniture
