The chair to beat — if you size it right.
Twenty years after its remastering, the Aeron is still the chair we measure others against. It does almost everything well, sizes itself to a wider range of bodies than any competitor, and gets out of the way once you stop noticing it — which is the highest compliment we give a chair.

8Z Pellicle suspension. PostureFit SL adjustable lumbar. Three sizes (A/B/C). Tilt limiter and seat angle. 12-year Herman Miller warranty.
Score card

Yes, if it's a genuine Remastered (post-2016) model with verified provenance.
