That's not where mine is wobbling.

My father's company makes the innovative seat for this chair. Sure, Herman Miller makes this chair but, they dont make the suspension seating to this. I have grown up around these chairs and know that they tend to wobble a little. Not near as much as the one in this video though!

Well, I hear the new models don't wobble, but yes, it's rather disappointing to see a chair wobble at this kind of price range.Surprised this isn't brought up more often as the Herman Miller engineer told me they all have a slight wobble.

I bought mine 3 years ago and the wobbling was bothering me so I called Herman Miller and they sent an engineer next day, he had a look and said unfortunately all of them wobble a little (can't comment on newer models).He tightened it a little which had no change in the wobble but the wobble hasn't increased at all in the 3 years I had it so far.

You could actually probably call herman miller up and ask them if there is any sort of gasket or any other spacer that goes between the pneumatic cylinder and the base. It could just be a worn part. Definitely pretty normal--I had the same sort of freakout when I bought one off craigslist.

I have found the large majority of wobbling on several aerons to stem from extra space in the joint between the pneumatic cylinder and the base. I haven't found any way to fix it--and there's certainly no risk of the chair falling apart or anything. They seem to, however, have changed the cylinder and the joint to be a little bit tighter and less wobbly. I have a 2006 model that has no wobble--but it might just be because it's newer.

Under the sit you can find some bolts which fix the sit on the base. It will never stop wobbling at all, but you can make it looks better

which bolts? my chair wobbles a little bit also.

I'm thinking of getting one almost like it! Glad I saw this. Prior to buying I'll make sure to check if there is any sign of wobbling. Thx for the vid.
