Assemble Your Herman Miller Aeron Chair With These Simple Steps

Introduction

Assembling the Herman Miller Aeron Classic chair is a straightforward process that ensures you enjoy the full ergonomic benefits of this iconic office chair. Proper assembly is crucial for stability and comfort, and this guide will walk you through each step to ensure your chair is ready for use.

Unboxing the Herman Miller Aeron Classic Chair

When your Herman Miller Aeron Classic chair arrives, it will be partially disassembled with the backrest detached. Inside the box, you'll find the main chair body, the backrest, an Allen key, and screws in a plastic wallet. Carefully unpack all components and place them on a clean, flat surface.

Attaching the Backrest

1. Positioning the Backrest: Place the chair body on a stable surface and position the backrest so that its screw holes align with those on the chair frame.
2. Inserting the Screws: Take the screws from the plastic wallet and insert them into the holes. There should be four screws in total, two for each side.

Using the Provided Allen Key

1. Proper Use of the Allen Key: Insert the Allen key into the head of each screw.
2. Tightening the Screws: Turn the Allen key clockwise to tighten each screw. Ensure that the screws are snug but do not overtighten to avoid stripping the screw heads.
3. Ensuring Stability: Once all four screws are securely in place, gently shake the backrest to ensure it is firmly attached to the chair body.

Final Assembly Checks

1. Verifying All Screws Are Tight: Double-check that all screws are tightened securely.
2. Checking for Stability: Sit in the chair and make sure that the backrest feels right.
3. Adjusting Chair Settings: Adjust the chair’s height, tilt, and lumbar support to your preference.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting

1. Misalignment of Parts: If the screw holes do not align, ensure the backrest is correctly positioned and try again.
2. Loose Screws: If any screws feel loose, use the Allen key to tighten them securely.
3. Unstable Chair: If the chair feels wobbly, double-check all connections and screws.

Maintenance Tips for Your Herman Miller Aeron Chair
