They look great and feel good at first. First let me say I am a software professional and spend many hours a day in front of a computer. In the late 90s Aeron's became all the rage at Internet startups in the SF Bay area. At first they were great. Flexible, looked good, etc. As the years passed and my body gained weight and age the Aeron didn't work as well for me. Not enough lumbar support even with the adjustable 'wedge'. Further, the seats were no longer firm enough and I began to feel like I was in a hammock. Needless to say I won't own a mesh chair for my home. I have to agree about Aeron chairs.

I just bought myself a <a href="http://www.eurotechseating.com/ergol.htm" rel="nofollow">Eurotech Ergohuman Chair</a> @ $500 (available in leather or mesh) I was between an Aeron and Steelcase Leap Chair before I found this and for me i found this more comforatable, but that is me. I'm also in the market for a new chair at work as mine is broken, i'm trying to get my boss to get me the same chair, but we'll see. I'm very happy with Eurotech's other models also, specificaly the <a href="http://www.eurotechseating.com/multifseat4.htm" rel="nofollow">Eurotech 4x4XL.</a> Nothing fancy, just highly ergonomic as everything is adjustable.

I bought a Steelcase Leap Chair from luxurychair.com for a great price and it is the best chair I've owned (and I've been around the block.) It FEELS like a real chair and you FEEL total firm support on your entire body. I suffer from Sciatica and this is the only chair that is bearable for me to sit in. TWO THUMBS UP for the Leap Chair...I would bet anything on it. The Aeron chair is SMOKE AND MIRRORS.

The chair had a small scratch that you would need a magnifying glass to see! Anyone who says this chair is not the most comfortable one that they have ever sat in must not have spent the time to olearn how to properly adjust it to you body, For those of you on a tight budget, I got an AERON floor model from http://www.ultimatebackstore.com and saved $150.

If you want comfort and protection from any "butt" damage possible from your butt upon any horizontal surface, including an"AERON", you really need to sit on a <strong>4"deep ROHO adjustable cushion</strong>. Since I don't have much "feeling" below my waist, I was prescribed one of these. Wow! What little I can feel, I never need to "change position", "slouch", etc. <strong>This is sitting!!!</strong> a good chair is a must!

The most comfortable chair I ever sat in was the one before I got this, a Kinnarps 6000. Not even the top of their range, but fantastic for any geek. So comfortable. I am going to get another.

Over the years I've discovered that a comfortable chair is comfortable for me for 6-12 months. So-o-o, I get a different chair at least once a year and, though the budget basement chairs are no good to begin with, I try to stay under $200.00, so I don't feel guilty when the time comes to replace it.

It's almost like they're trying to make the chairs sound like a better value. Like "Premium Webhosting" or something.
