MingYi.office Vinyl Arm Pads Caps for Herman Miller Classic Aeron Chair Graphite Black

These work wonderfully, but I need to repeat what a previous reviewer said. The replacements don't come threaded. Their reused screws are self-threading, but trying to install while on the chair can be awkward. First of all, they need a #3 Phillips screwdriver. Second, best to screw the screws all the way in on an open, flat surface. THEN install them into the chair.

I was skeptical but decided it would be really easy to return if I didn't like and I got them in 1 day with prime. I had just got a used classic Aeron and the vinyl arm pads were scratched up pretty bad. I wasn't sure what to expect but was actually impressed when I opened the box. They look great and I believe are slightly more "cushiony" than the stock vinyl pads. Install was super easy. A lot of people stated that it was hard to screw but I found that it was only because there is no tread however the screws that came with my Aeron went in fine and I didn't have to force very hard. Anyone that has used a self tapping screw before will recognize the force you need to screw in. Overall I'm very impressed. It looks and feels great. It may be 1cm shorter than the stock however I have plenty of space for my elbow. I don't notice it at all. If you don't want to sell your arm for a new arm pad this is the way to go.

I replaced a set of leather original armrests that were showing their age for quite some time with lots of cracking and peeling. These arm pads were a perfect fit and very easy to install. Be sure to save the screws when removing the old arm pads as noted in the description for the item -- you will need them for the new pads. These are harder than the original leather arm pads, but I did expect that. I also expect that these will last longer, too.

These are difficult to install because the factory arm rest screws are slightly larger than the tapped threads on these arm rests, so you essentially have to tap new threads with the old screws, meaning you will need to use a LOT of force without stripping the phillips screw head. I would suggest pre-tapping the new arm rests with the old screws by hand before trying to install them onto the chair. I started the tap by hand and finished with a power drill at high torque and low speed because doing it entirely by hand is really difficult. These are slightly less round and much firmer than OEM arm rests but look the part & still feel good as a replacement, especially given the much lower price than buying from Herman Miller.

These are plenty good enough for me. The shape is slightly different from my originals, but I actually like the new one better, it seems more modern and functional. Perhaps there were "versions" of the armrest and this is the later version. OEM armrests are allegedly available from the Herman Miller parts website, but the wait is always posted as 6 weeks and I expect I would receive exactly the same item from exactly the same factory in China. In any case, these are fully satisfactory and fit like the originals. You'll need a PH3 (Phillips #3) screwdriver and it helps a lot if you run in the screws with the armrest on the bench before trying to fit it to the arm. It takes substantial pressure to get the screws started but once the thread is established you can run the screw in again much more easily. The hole size is exactly right (I measured it), just the plastic is firm and you're cutting threads into it the first time. This is how you want it, it means the screws are going to hold firmly and not work themselves out on you. Overall, definitely a thumbs up. Would do it again and recommend.

We found an Aeron chair out on trash day. The only thing wrong with it was that the arm pads were destroyed. These aren’t leather, but they fit the chair perfectly and were easy to put on. We now have a fantastic chair for the price of these arm pads.

My arm pads had become cracked and messy after 7 years and I decided to do a refresh on the chair and replace some worn out parts (and add a headrest). I like these arm rests better than the original but there is definitely a bit off-gassing with the material ... but that will subside pretty quickly I think. The material is firmer than the original and that is pretty evident in the pictures. There is a bit of give, but not a lot. To me, these are a perfect replacement and are an inexpensive way to refresh your Aeron chair. I have a size B and they fit perfectly and installed with the original screws. They DO NOT come with replacement screws, so save the ones that come with your chair. Definitely worth the <$23 to freshen up part of my chair. I also added roller blade casters and have a headrest coming. A nice refresh vs the temptation to buy a new chair.

They screwed on well, you just have to create the thread which was done in 2 seconds with a drill. These thing are just hard and hurt to lean on

Excellent product

My parrot keeps biting off my arm pads and this is an affordable spare part that fits just right with my original Herman Miller chair. Easy to install. Does the job.

It is a great replacement arm pads. Feels like the original pad that came with my Aeon chair. Fits perfectly and no issues with the installation. The shipping for this item was slow, it took 5 weeks to arrive to Singapore.

Ich hab sie schon länger in Benutzung, kein weiches Leder mehr, aber irgendwie geht es super auch mit diesem Ersatz.

El modelo es para un modelo viejo. Tuve que modificarlo. Le quiere el anclaje y le puse el anclaje del viejo. No se ve mal pero no está de forma natural.
