I love my Aeron which I got sometime in the 90s on offer. I can spend far longer in it before I start noticing the chair than anything else I've tried.

What I don't love is longevity and cost of spares. The original lumbar support[1] was just a piece of plastic, consistently broke after 12-18 months, and cost £50+ to replace. After the 4th broke, an ugly bodge was the answer!

Arm rest pads also split regularly, though less frequently, but a pair cost less than the simple backrest!

Everything else seems to have lasted remarkably well.
