Aluminum frame refinishing
Each chair is fully disassembled so we can inspect and work on every part. We take the aluminum frame, sand it down to remove surface wear, and polish it with an aluminum paint finish for a clean, uniform look and lasting protection.
Lumbar pad or PostureFit?
The lumbar pad slides up or down the backrest to sit in the curve of your lower spine, and it flips over: one side is thicker than the other, so you choose how far it presses in. PostureFit sits lower, at the base of the spine, and a knob on the right side of the chair sets how much support it gives.

Aeron Classic price in polished aluminum vs a new Aeron
A fully loaded Aeron Classic for sale in polished aluminum, starting under $800.
Herman Miller ended Aeron Classic production in 2016, aluminum versions included, so the new price above is for its replacement, the Aeron Remastered.
The Aeron Classic is one of the most trusted ergonomic office chairs ever made, and this one is fully loaded with every upgrade. You pay a fraction of the original price; a new Aeron set up the same way costs even more.
Set up and adjust your Aeron
What "fully loaded" means on a Herman Miller Aeron
Base model vs fully loaded: Aerons were sold in different configurations, and used listings often leave out what is missing. A fully loaded Aeron has every adjustment Herman Miller offered, while a base model or semi-loaded chair lacks one or more of them. To tell which one you are looking at, check the chair against this table.
| Adjustment | Base model | This chair (fully loaded) |
|---|---|---|
| Seat height and tilt tension | Yes | Yes |
| Rear tilt lock | Often missing | Yes |
| Forward tilt | Often missing | Yes |
| Arms | Often fixed | Height-adjustable and pivoting |
| Lower back support | Sometimes none | Lumbar pad or PostureFit |
Second-hand Aerons usually come without any warranty, which leaves the risk of a repair with you. Ours is covered by OfficeLogixShop's 5-year mechanical warranty.

Questions about the aluminum Aeron Classic
How is the aluminum version different from a standard Aeron Classic?
Inside, nothing changes: it has the same mechanism, mesh, sizes and adjustments. What differs is the material of the base and frame. The standard Aeron Classic has a graphite base; this one is aluminum, which feels more solid and durable under movement and gives the chair a bright, polished look. It suits a modern office where strength and style both matter.
Is the aluminum polished or painted?
Painted, over real aluminum. The base and supports are aluminum; to restore them, we sand away the surface wear and refinish them with our own aluminum paint finish. That brings back an even shine without compromising the strength of the metal underneath.
Can a base model Aeron be upgraded to fully loaded?
Mostly, yes. Our tilt limiter and knobs kit adds the rear tilt lock and forward tilt. For lower back support, add the PostureFit kit, which needs no drilling, or a lumbar pad. These kits do not change the arms, so a chair with fixed arms keeps them. Our upgrade video shows the tilt kit going into a base model chair.
How does OfficeLogixShop restore the aluminum Aeron?
With a 9-point restoration process. It starts with a full mechanical assessment of the recline, support and tilt functions, and worn parts such as the gas cylinder, arm pads and casters are replaced with high-quality parts. The chair is professionally sanitized and its aluminum refinished, then we test and calibrate every control, so the Aeron you receive performs like new.
Why does the aluminum Aeron cost more than the standard Aeron Classic?
The standard Classic's graphite base is glass-filled nylon: strong, but cheaper to make than aluminum. Aluminum resists wear better over time and holds a higher market value thanks to its professional look. Both give you the same Aeron comfort, so choose by budget and style; the graphite version is our refurbished Aeron Classic.
Does it come with a warranty?
It does: OfficeLogixShop covers it with a 5-year mechanical warranty. We stand behind every chair we restore, so you can rely on it for years. Our warranty page lists the full terms.
