- I spend way too much time sitting at this keyboard, and I'm a failure at the standing desk thing, so I need a proper office chair. Starting in 1978, my fave was the Herman Miller Ergon, introduced in 1976. It was a cushion design: one for your back and one for your ass. I've had a series of these, over many years. While they all last well, the cushions do break down, so eventually I'm sitting on something hard underneath.#
- I've tried out a lot of other office chairs, and usually settle for something cheap that will do for awhile. Such as the $15 one I'm sitting on now, which I got from a thrift store, and the $25 one in the next room, which I got from the IU Surplus store here at Indiana University in Bloomington. That's an Ergon knock-off that became uncomfortable in just a day or two. #
- So I've decided to bite the bullet and get a Herman Miller Aeron. New from Herman Miller they're on sale for $1,398.25. Used or reconditioned from a zillion other vendors they're $600 or less. Such as here.#
- I figure if my ass isn't comfortable in that one, the problem is me, not the chair.#
