I sat in these chairs when I was a CSR at Voicestream, really comfortable. Had to be careful not to fall asleep during any downtime ;)

LOL! good one JeffSpicoli..


More than likely i'll be picking one of those bad boys up(no a/c at the apartment, you can see the need) , but prolly at a higher price, will check in the next few weeks around town. (no Costco's in WI)

But the pad is a must have, with the chair..;)


And a small side note, a friend of mine has a co-worker that used to code for EA and Westwood, and EA, not sure of Westwood, but both companies are very very Aeron friendly...

I'm sure they limit the employees to like 3 maxx. Otherwise, the employees would be buying them by the truckload and selling them for profts, undercutting herman miller.

I used one of these chairs for about a year and a half at my old office. It was pretty nice but this is not, at least in my opinion, the Holy Grail of office furniture - they are quite adjustable and reasonably supportive but not the most comfortable chairs in the world. I am not trying to thread-poop at all - this is a bona fide Hot Deal, but I feel compelled to play devil's advocate with all of the Aeron boosters here!

Can you recommend something better?

The Steelcase chairs seem nice. I am no expert on this stuff, though; I know if I were spending over $500 on a task chair (which I am not), I would extensively test-drive them prior to buying, and YMMV in terms of what you like.

am I the only person that thinks this chair is just OK. Higher price doesn't equal to a better chair.
