Re: [House&Home] Need help finding a new home office chair
Not sure if they deliver

I bought a used mint condition Aeron there for $300

I believe it's the last chair I'll ever need to buy. |

Wow Grumpy, that's a great deal! I've never sat in one of those and I've been wondering, is it gentle on your butt? My butt always gets sore from the sort of cheaper chairs I use. That mess stuff looks like it would hurt...

| There is a weird setting in my Aeron that tips the seat forward about 10 degrees. When I bought it, it was tipped forward like that, and I didn't know any better. I couldn't help but think, "What the Hell is it that people like about these damned things?" "I'd rather sit on a wheel barrow handle." Then I found the online manual, and tweaked it to its proper position. Doh!
The Aerons are a little weird at first, for the seats are not padded. Once you get used to that (in around an hour), they're very comfortable, and well made. At 240 lbs, I got tired of throwing away $100 chairs that place the entire seating load upon the customary 4" X 4" with four little screws type bracket.
When I bought mine, they offered two Aeron models designed for the user's body weight. I have the skinny people's model, and so my legs are slightly cramped at the forward portion of the seat, but it isn't a big deal. |
