I've had an Aeron at home for ten years or so. Both of the arms have broken off. It actually seemed like an improvement, so I never got around to a warranty replacement.
Arms aside, I'm not crazy about the chair. It's not really comfortable for anything besides sitting straight up at a desk. The Steelcase chairs I've had at work are more versatile, although I've broken one of those too.
- shoover 10y agoI can't imagine what it would take to break a Steelcase, but I won't ask. My Leap is seven years old and other than the missing new chair smell and bit of grime on the rubber arm rests (easily cleanable) there is no discernible difference from the day I assembled it. It does take some effort to keep the kids from using it as a playground.

So here's the thing about the arms on an Aeron chair: they're too low. If you use them for anything other than occasionally brushing against them - if you rest your arms on them while typing, for example - they'll negatively affect your posture. You might really be better off without them. I was disappointed to see that (at first glance) there's no evidence this has been addressed in the new design. I'm sure some of this has to do with the user's height, but still, it would not be hard to make the elevation of those armrests a bit more adjustable.
