Pros & Cons
Pros
The herman miller aeron is a well-known brand and chair, so i expected it to be fine. I'm very pleased and it's worth it now that i am working at home.
Best to have two people to lift out of the box. Came fully assembled.
Cons
The fabric of the chair is not very breathable also. I don't know if this chair needs time to break in, or what amazon is selling is different from what steelcase is selling to businesses.
The seat angle cannot be adjusted upward. The armrests slide outward to the slightest touch. The arms have a rubbery texture and little padding, which has given me a painful red spot on my elbow from pivoting my arm to grab my mouse while resting it o... Read More
The seat does not recline with the back. You need to be able to lock the back solidly to give some support. Reclining is just not possible in this chair.
There is no contoured surface that support the shape of your back. It protrudes way too far forward. This chair is worse for my back than most cheapo unergonomic chairs.
The downward-sloping seat in combination with insufficient tension for someone of my size. My coccyx bone is already numb, and my day is shot. Sometimes it ranges from noticeably uncomfortable to downright painful.

Price
This was a huge upgrade from my old staples office chair for 200 dollars.
After spending a year on a cheap desk chair (~$100) and dealing with pain in my legs and back i finally had enough and started ... Read More
I bought a cheap $150 office chair at the time and suffered through the discomfort and back problems that came with it.
Normally a bargain shopper myself, i do believe this is one product that you get what you pay for.
Shipping
I bought the black/black version with prime shipping - so sold, and stocked by amazon.
First of all, this takes a long time to ship and by the time it does, it might be too late.
With amazon, it was going to arrive between 5-7 days since they had it in their warehouse.
The chair i ordered was sold and shipped by amazon.
Packaging/appearance
The leap chair arrived fully assembled (the packaging was actually quite impressive!
) and the packaging protects well against shipping damage and is all cardboard (recyclable) and plastic sheet cover.
The chair i received was brand new in a steelcase box with all the original packaging and labels.
The chair arrived in a steelcase box fully assembled.
Competitiveness
The honey browser extension (and others) is helpful to track price history.
I looked at a lot of different options but kept coming back to the conclusion that anything less than a leap would just mean a ... Read More
