#2I used to buy a $100 chair every year because it would break, I have had my miller for almost 11 years now.

#3I've switched my recommended chair from Aeron to Steelcase Leap.
The problem with Aerons is the mesh seat. Because you sit on mesh there is a hard plastic rim. The front of that rim press up into your leg on your thigh. It restricts circulations which can cause outright pain.
The severity depends on your body and how you fit in the chair exactly. But it's bad enough for enough people that I recommend people avoid Aeron; with the Steelcase Leap being my current chair of choice.

I had the same issue with the seat edge, I believe that it's referred to as a waterfall edge. The rest of the chair was great, but I found that extremely uncomfortable after a few hours. Many people don't have a problem with it, however.
I also recommend Steelcase as a good alternative. I considered the Leap but eventually chose the Gesture, and am extremely satisfied.

My wife loves the Steelcase Leap, but personally, my Aeron is the best chair I've ever used.

...and it's still in warranty because their warranties are 12 years.

That's going from one extreme to another. Neither gives you value for money. There are many brands in $300 range which sell quality ergonomic chairs built to last. $700 you save you can spend on electric height adjustable sit/stand desk.

I bought a $100 chair, and then I bought a Herman Miller Aeron.
The $100 chair is much more comfortable. For one thing, the seat pan is padded cloth instead of mesh. Even my coworkers prefer it, so we outfitted the office with the $100 chairs, and nobody wants to sit on the uncomfortable $800 Aerons.
