“forget the business plan, put it all into Aeron chairs.”

Given Marc’s birthday Christmas present, I thought he’d get a kick out of this.

The Myth of the Aeron Chair

I found that posted outside someone’s door at work. The department probably ordered 500 of those chairs for the new building. And I was wrong Marc - I do have the 10 degree forward option, and I’ve had my chair on it for as long as I’ve had it. I turned it off and rocked back, and wow, it’s like my desk chair turned into a recliner. And my lean-back stiffness was set to about the same as yours.

Be sure to link off to the haiku in the article, and read the comments some people have about these chairs. It’s pretty great.

That’s one reason to upgrade my cell phone
