Kit de bouton à bascule (levier) pour chaises Herman Miller Aeron Classic (V1), par OLS

I thought I had the Herman Miller Aeron Classic (V1) but it turns out I didn't. I wanted to keep the flip knobs on my Aeron and there seemed to be no other options out there to replace them so I was really glad to find this kit existed. I was even happier to discover that by adding a couple of M6 flat washers on each bolt (as this kit wasn't specifically designed for my chair), I was able to get everything secured properly. Chair arms are working great now!

The flip knob lever kit was fairly easy to install after watching the online video. It has stopped my arm rests from dropping when using the chair and makes them much easier to adjust when I need to.

I’ve had my Aeron chair over 28 years. A few weeks ago an arm fell off while I was adjusting the arm height and tightening the old thumb wheel lock. Not surprised, because one of the most annoying things for years has been having to constantly re-adjust and tighten both arms repeatedly, several times a week.

No more! The Flip-Knob conversion kit made it easy not only to repair my chair but to replace both of the old thumbscrews. Once adjusted, both arms stay put. Neither arm has slipped at all in nearly two weeks.

My only regret is that I didn’t find this kit years ago. Thanks!

I wasn’t sure how I was going to fix my Aeron from 2000 when one of the knobs broke. I stumbled on this kit searching for parts and figured I’d give it a try… it works perfectly, and I like the levers a lot better than the knobs.

We did need more tools than the video indicated, though. It only mentioned one hex bit, but the chair back screws and the replacement parts needed 2 different sized hex bits, and the screws in the old knobs need a Torx bit.

Great upgrade, works as advertised. Does take a slight bit of skill and tools to install, but the installation video provides the procedure. Might take a couple tries to get the tension correct, but it's easy to adjust once installed.
