You can get the Aeron's on Ebay for under $500. After owning one for a while they are nice. Quality is decent but I think they're overrated for their "new" price. As with many popular things, you can search for the word followed by "sucks" to find plenty of legit complaints. The pressure under your thighs is the one I find the most annoying.

That said, I'm overall happy with my used one I own. I appreciate that it's popular enough that I can replace arm rests when they get worn out.

I have it paired with the Autonomous.ai standing desk frame, a cheap Amazon desktop & a cheap standing mat. I like this because sitting for 6-10 hours a day isn't ideal for me, but I understand for some people standing isn't an option.

I enjoy my setup more than any office one I've ever been in.




If you have pressure under your thighs, you might need some kind of footrest - it solved my problem entirely with my Aeron.
