Adjustment Breakdown
Height Adjustment
1. Pull height adjustment lever up to move the chair up or down to whichever position fits you best
Lean Back Tension Adjustment
1. While sitting in the chair rotate the adjustment knob clockwise to make the tension tighter so that leaning back is more difficult and counter clockwise to lessen the tension so that it is easier to lean back. Note: There is a lot of adjustment range with this feature up to 100 turns in either direction so that you have plenty of flexibility.
Arm Adjustments
1. To move the arm up and down lift up the lever on the arm and then move the arm to the desired spot and do the same to the other arm.
2. To move the arm pads you have three different options LEFT, CENTER AND RIGHT
Lumbar Adjustments
1. The lumbar pad is removable and has 2 sides and is thinner and thicker on either side. This support can be removed and switched to either side and can be moved up and down for the desired comfortability.
2. The Posture lumbar adjustment is a controlled adjustment with a wheel knob that allows you to adjust the pressure of the pad by turning it clockwise to increase tension and counter clockwise to decrease tension. Note: This does not have the option to raise or lower the lumbar adjustment.
Tilt Limiter
1. Pull up on the tilt knob to engage the option to tilt limiter so you can recline back in the chair and push the same lever down to keep the back from reclining. Also this adjustment gives you the ability to regulate how far you can recline in the chair, by pulling the lever go all the way back and keeping the lever up rock forward to the desired location and release the lever. This should click to each location and when you have your desired position the lever will stay in that location until changed.
Front Tilt Limiter
1. Pulling the front tilt limiter gives you the ability to sit more forward in your seat. Lift up this lever and then lean forward to activate. This is an optional feature and may not come on every chair. To deactivate lean back in the chair and push the lever down and lean forward and it will go back to level.

Thank you. Can you put me on a waitlist for the mesh, or seat?
This is a must watch for anyone with a HM classic Aeron chair! It was super helpful to learn that the tilt tension knob can be turned ~100 times to adjust how far back you want to tilt. Your clear instructions also helped me master the forward and backward tilt adjustments (which are not well documented in the adjustment manual PDF online). Thank you so much!

This is the first time I've heard/read/whatever that the lean back tensioner requires so many turns to achieve min/max tension. I've been suffering for years and now after 30 seconds I have the maximum tension I've always wanted. Thank you!

I bought one of these chairs from Crandall Office Furniture about 1 1/2 years ago and it was a fantastic experience! My chair still appears new and is working perfectly. I highly recommend purchasing a refurbished chair from them because you'll save a LOT of money and they offer a 12 year warranty.

Just took my HM from Crandall Office out of the box & had to search for how to adjust the seat angle. A lot of videos, including ones from COF, show 2 different tension nobs to adjust, one for seat back tilt & one for seat angle. I finally found this one with controls that look like the ones on my chair. I’m 5’3” & 135lbs, bought a B model. I cannot easily move the seat back tilt and I cannot adjust to seat angle at all. I had to have my husband sit in the chair & set the controls for me. It’s frustrating that I’m already disappointed in my purchase straight out of the box.
Aeron chairs are the best but one feature that Herman Miller missed on the design was to allow the a slideable adjustment that could control distance from how far back you could slide the back rest from the actual seat.

@@CrandallOfficeFurniture it would probably complicate the design and add cost and now there is probably a bit of harley syndrome where the design has become too iconic for its own good holding the functionality back. Maybe they will make a hybrid based on this and the embody for the back control and adjustable seat pan. if you know of a better mesh chair I would be very interested as options seem strangley limited.
The forward tilt adjustment (minute 3:44) is the the one adjustment that determines comfort, more than any other. It's optional. If you can't adjust tilt, the Aeron is the most uncomfortable chair you can buy.

Dumb question, but is it normal for the tilt limiter to disengage when you get out of the seat? When I get up I hear the tilt limiter disengage. I have the reset the tilt limiter everytime. Is this normal?
On the seat tension adjustment when you get to the end of the 100 turns will it stop turning?
@CrandallOfficeFurniture
2 жыл бұрын
it should yes
I like how much it opens up my shoulders and chest, but sinking into the seat some on the back and having the firm frame pad at the front of the seat digging into my low hamstrings is unpleasant. I've heard some people concerned about the pressure it puts on their sciatic nerve. Forward tilt helps but I can't lock it in a forward tilt (can I?). What do people do about the front edge firmness of the chair?
@CrandallOfficeFurniture
Жыл бұрын
Sorry for the late response, unfortunately you can't lock into forward tilt. The edge firmness is definitely a common complaint of the Aeron. There is a black banana pad under the front end of the seat if removed that has helped some of our customers to experience more comfort with their Aeron.

Hi there, I bought Herman Miller Aeron Classic chair. It supposed to be with limiter and forward tilt. It’s leaning back, I can get rocking function but there is nothing to stop it in the point where I would feel the most comfortable. It doesn’t have them two buttons which you are talking about in 3 minute - Tilt limiter - I guess. On the pictures on website the chair doesn’t have them controllers as well. I wonder why is that if in the description of the chair is that it should come with tilt limiter. Is there another version of Herman Miller Aeron Classic Chair? Anyone had the same problem as me?

I bought one of these chairs size B, big mistake for me since my shoulder blades hurt when leaning back in this chair. I wish I had ordered the size C, making it a little taller for my back. I am always searching for any info. about the sizes but never see anything about it. Is there away I can exchange the size B-back for a size C back? Or is it all having to be the same size?

I think my second-hand Aeron is broken. The forward tilt doesn’t do anything. It should lift my bum up but the back of the seat plate is still very sunk.
