Your Complete Guide to Assembling the Herman Miller Aeron Chair With The Lumbar Support
Are you completely ready to set up your brand new Aeron chair by Herman Miller? This premium ergonomic desk chair is not just a highly stylish addition to your corporate office. It is a massive commitment to your daily comfort and overall physical health. In this highly detailed guide we will break down the entire setup process into simple steps ensuring you easily get the absolute most out of your Aeron ergonomic features.
Starting Off Unbox with Care
First up let us carefully open the heavy duty box that your Aeron chair arrived in. Remember to keep all the original packaging materials completely safe just in case you ever need to transport your premium seating in the future.
Putting the Chair Together
Once everything is safely out of the box it is time to put it all together. Do not worry because it is absolutely not as tough as it sounds. You will easily find four mounting screws located directly on the chair backrest. Go ahead and take these out for now.
Next simply line up the backrest frame directly with the seat mechanism and carefully screw those four bolts back into place.
Make absolutely sure they are nice and tight so the entire heavy duty frame feels completely sturdy.
Usually the active lumbar support comes already installed right from our facility. However if it is not installed for any reason just slide the pad directly into the tracks from the bottom to the top.
Now gently flip the office chair over to install the rolling casters. Simply pop each wheel directly into the star base one at a time until they click securely.
Adjusting the Backrest
Make Sure It Is the Right Size
If the backrest does not seem to fit right please carefully verify that you have the correct chair size. Look directly for the molded dots under the top edge of the backrest frame behind the Herman Miller logo.
You will feel one dot for small size A two dots for medium size B and three dots for large size C.
Closing the Gap
Is there a noticeable space between the metal frame of the chair and the plastic backrest part. That exact gap is what is causing the alignment issue.
You can forcefully push them together with your bare hands or gently tap them closer with a rubber mallet.
Alternatively you can easily use the diagonal bolt trick for a perfectly snug fit.
This simply means you screw in one bolt at the top corner then immediately do the opposite bottom corner. This highly effective method helps automatically pull everything into perfect alignment.
Now you can easily align the remaining holes to smoothly insert the final bolts.
Fixing the Seat Height
Stopping the Sinking or Rising
If your heavy duty chair seems to have a mind of its own by slowly moving up and down when it is not supposed to there is a highly simple mechanical fix.
Directly underneath the seat pan there is a protective plastic cover. Pop that off to reveal a small set pin.
Using a standard tool like an Allen wrench give the set pin a very little twist. You might need to do this a few times while gently tightening or loosening it to get it just perfectly right. Be incredibly careful and do not tighten it too much. This simple adjustment will completely stop your chair from playing tricks on you when you sit down or stand up.
The Final Step Enjoy Your Chair
Check and Relax
After all the minor mechanical tweaks sit down in your chair and stand up again. If the height stays completely put you have done it perfectly right. Now snap the plastic cover back on and take a quiet moment to deeply enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your premium Aeron chair is completely set up and perfectly ready for endless hours of comfortable sitting.
