It's a great chair, what can I say. There are less expensive models, but this one has the polished (highly polished) frame and adjustable lumbar support. These chairs are sized A-small, B-medium, and C-large. This is a second chair I bought for my home office after I bought one previously for my business office. I particularly like the fabric and how breathable it is. I'm a big guy (6ft 1in, 200lbs) so staying cool while I'm in a suit and tie is particularly attractive. I never sweat in the chair or get hot like you will with a leather chair.
The instructions for putting together the back lumbar support are a little kluged, you have to poke a pencil or similar sharp object through the back of the fabric to install the cable to adjust the lumbar support. It took my wife and I about 15 minutes to figure that part out. The other installation of the chair to the base is straightforward, and the one tool required to install (a hex headed allen wrench) is included in the box it ships.
I ordered from Amazon because there was no additional shipping charge, and looking at other sites on the net the shipping charges ran as high at $125/chair. I received my chair in 3 days - super fast shipping.

Excellent chair for the long haul / long work daysFeb 21, 2010
I will have to admit that when I first got the chair and sat down in it that I was not overly impressed - I expected it to be immediately super-comfortable. It actually takes sitting in it for hours to truly appreciate it. It becomes pretty obvious that after an 80 hour work week with no back stress / pain from sitting in a chair that you made a good choice.
I have spent untold amounts of money over the years buying basic office chairs from local Office Max, Staples and other retailers and have never kept one more than a year or so. The seat and back fabric feels a little cheap at first but after years of sitting in the chair with no noticeable deformity to the material - it very obviously is not cheap.
I have now had this chair for nearly 3 years and it is no worse for the wear than when I got it. It comes with a 12 year replacement warranty - this means it will cost me far less over the course of the 12 years than cheap, retail chairs.
I am a decent sized guy (240lbs) and work 8-16 hours per day in a home office. I wouldn't trade this chair for any other office chair I have ever used.

 It may be a Herman Miller, but don't buy it...Jul 18, 2009
The chair was delivered quickly and all was in good condition. It is a heavy box and the FedEx delivery man put it just inside my house for me. It came with two different sets of instructions, one being the correct method to assemble the chair, one being an impossible method to achieve. The seller had good communication, but their Order Summary stated $1,225.00 instead of $1,099.00 that Amazon quoted, and lucky only $1,099.00 was charged to my credit card!
So what do I think about the chair? I had extremely high expectations that were based on other feedback found on Amazon and the well known quality of Herman Miller. I have to be honest to say that I am frankly disappointed with the chair for multiple reasons:
1. The outside box was NOT stamped Herman Miller. Rather, it was sort of a generic (but very solid) box. For such an expensive chair, I would have thought it would be clearly stamped with what it contained including the model number and logo of the manufacturer.
2. The quality of the fabric (seat/back) is tough, yet also feels very cheap to the touch. The "leather" arms are not plush, but feel much more similar to plastic than leather (being leather, if it really is leather, adds absolutely no value). The plastic molded frame feels like a child's toy. The buttons and knobs do not feel like they would last very long.
3. The chair does not seem to be stamped Herman Miller anywhere. Just two "address labels" that immediately peel off the bottom of the chair identify the manufacturer and model number. A second peel off contains some information about the contents in relationship to fire codes.
4. No where on the chair does it indicate the "size C" that I ordered. This is strange more than anything.
5. Very minimal literature, instructions, warranty information, or anything else was included.
6. In terms of comfort, I was expecting to sit on a "thrown" and have my back feel immediately better than any other chair I've ever sat on. I'm truly disappointed and the chair feels no better than various chairs you may find at Staples for $200.
7. The arms of the chair pivot to the right and left. This does NOTHING and adds no value. Some of the other adjustments turn, but I don't notice anything different. Basically, there are a lot of knobs, but nothing makes the chair truly comfortable.
I strongly recommend that you DO NOT buy this chair. I know that is contrary to so many other posts that are online. But it is possible that this manufacturer has started to make very low quality chairs. My wife is very upset with my purchase and wants me to return it. I'm one of those that just feel I am stuck with it, even at a $1200 price tag. But I promise you, you should stay clear from this chair and just buy a high-end model at staples, which usually sell for $250.
Trust me... this is not luxury, comfortable, or even cool looking. This is a totally useless chair and not worth your time or money. Think long and hard before you buy this chair.

well worth the moneyMar 12, 2009
Ok so it's not cheap, but then it's your back and health.
Just like a good bed mattress, a good work home office chair makes sense given the amount of hours spent sitting down etc.
I got this one back in June 08 (chrome base/leather arms blue/black tuxedo) as it looks a lot nicer and has much better arms and lumber support than the std run-o-mill aeron in black as you see in corporate offices, House MD Tv shows etc etc.
Lets face it this chair is a design classic and is described by the media as the the world's best & most comfortable office chair.

my chairJan 03, 2009
Well, it wasn't cheap. But after 4 years, I don't really think about that. This is a great chair, and I haven't had any back problems, ever at all, since I got it. I work 8-16 hours a day, and the Aeron never lets me down. Cheaper than a chiropractor!
The Humanscale Freedom and Steelcase Leap are also excellent chairs. I did consider them too. In my few minutes of testing, they seemed to be almost as comfortable, and didn't need the 10 minutes of adjustments that I had to give the Aeron before I was really comfy in it. But ultimately, I bought the "size C executive aeron polished" because
#1: It was still comfortable after I started to sweat
#2: The armrests felt just right under my forearms
#3: Herman Miller! In 15 years, I will have no trouble getting even the most esoteric part for this chair.
I love my chair.
Note: The shiny silver finish, "full adjustability", and "lumbar support" are near-worthless unless you have to impress minions. If you're paying for this yourself, save many hundreds of dollars and just buy the basic chair with leather armrests (you don't want the sticky plastic standard armrests).
