Unfortunately, its an idea that too many interior designers and office managers buy into. At least until their employees start trading out the $1k+ Aerons they bought for the crappy office chairs they had before because the Aeron is unbearable to sit in for 8 hours a day. The AERON has long been a running joke among ergonomists and PT's. Its simply not designed to be ergonomic, its designed to be cheap to manufacture and "stylish," but calling it "Ergonomic" justifies the price tag. There are MANY reviews all over the internet on this chair, but NOONE seems to have actually sat in it, which is its primary function. Would you post a review of a laptop based solely on what the case looked like? Of course not.. This is no less ludicrous. Makes you wonder what kind of incentives HM is offering for these glowing reviews. Hm has a long history of valuing form over function.

I have the Aeron which was expensive but worth every penny. I love the design. I have the Aeron which was expensive but worth every penny.
