It has been the worst for me since I have bought a Herman Miller Aeron. The thing leans to the right. I have got replacements, but they were all made the same month and have the same leaning issue. Some worse some better. Such poor quality control.

The quality has gone downhill the last few years with the new "remastered" Aeron chairs, IMO. Lots more plastic and thinner/lighter metal components. Anyone looking to get one you're better off with a 5+ year old refurbished classic. Half the price and honestly better.
This is interesting. Have you got any more information/literature? I really need to find a solution.
Here's a really good comparison:

Not trying to defend HM (never tried their chairs), but I own a new Steelcase Leap V2 chair and I have the same issue. The replacement is as bad, leaning to the right. Apparently it is a design feature. I don't understand how these expensive furniture shops can ignore such obvious issues.
This was my experience with a Steelcase Gesture Headrest. The refused to fix it and just wanted to give me a refund. The lean was so bad that I was falling out of the chair.
I find the hag capisco more comfortable for working. something about it just makes you naturally sit up straight. I slouch in anything else.
I'm honestly intrigued how a 7 year old account has 4 comments in total. All in the last 2 months.

I mean the signup flow is basically frictionless here, and yet.

I just decided to start talking on public forums. I had an old account in my password manager that I never used to make a comment. I do not understand why my above comment has been downvoted. It is my experience with the product.
Fair enough. May you continue on commenting for another 7 years.
