Exactly. About 95% of the DotComs who bought Aeron chairs are gone. But probably 95% of the Aeron chairs they bought are still in use, somewhere, by somebody. Something to think about when deciding what's a wise thing for a business to spend money on. Spend money on assets or things that last a long time and have decent resell value.



I had one of those, many years ago, and honestly it wasn't the most comfortable chair I've ever had. It didn't support my back quite right. I think my favorite was some bomb-proof thing I bought off a guy shutting down his welding business in Mountain View. It weighed a ton, but was quite comfortable.
