Can we use the classic metric of aeron chair sales?
- cm2187 10y agoDo they switch to stools in bad times?
- Apocryphon 10y agoStanding desks.
- PakG1 10y agoI was going to make a crack about how standing desks could get expensive, and then I checked Amazon and was impressed.

- collyw 10y agoI just switched to a stool to discourage me from slouching.
- jmcgough 10y agohah, those have been turning up cheap on craigslist lately
- MawNicker 10y agoThey're terrible chairs. A mesh back is nice but you need a proper seat. The Aeron cuts off circulation to the legs. It's also about 5x overpriced. I just upgraded to a low end model from a no-name brand. [1] It's honestly a better chair. 1: http://www.amazon.com/Seating-Professional-AirGrid-Adjustable-Managers/dp/B000PWGZOI/ref=lp_3733721_1_5?s=furniture&ie=UTF8&qid=1462349436&sr=1-5 http://www.amazon.com/Seating-Professional-AirGrid-Adjustabl...
- oarsinsync 10y agoSounds like you might have gotten the wrong size. I used to do 12-13 hours sat in one of those at the office, with only a short break during the day to grab a snack, and never had any problems. Absolutely worth every penny.
- jmcgough 10y agoagreed, was just commenting that some of my tech friends have joked about measuring the number of aeron dumped on CL
- MawNicker 10y agoI didn't mean to sound contradictory. I actually sold mine on Craigslist! But a spike in Aeron chair sales may not imply that a bubble is popping. It might just be that startups got off the bandwagon and decided to care about their sorry butts. Literally.
- eps 10y agoI must disagree, with passion. Aerons are phenomenally comfortable for the long-hour use. But you do have to pick one that's your size for that to work.
- MawNicker 10y agoWell it is the product of a world class design firm. Even if it was a mistake to have a mesh seat they got most everything else right. But it's telling that the Herman Miller Embody (successor to Aeron) has a real seat.
- cylinder 10y agoYou'd have to adjust for the standing desk fad
- noir_lord 10y agoMight be a fad but I love mine, I have a spinal condition that makes standing for (most) of the day much less than painful than sitting. (so I built myself one to solve all the usual problems, 21sq/ft of space, goes high enough to be suitable for non-midges, completely and totally stable, in hindsight I might have got carried away a bit http://imgur.com/a/H7fxb http://imgur.com/a/H7fxb - the chair is in the process of been replaced with a stool (that I'm also building)) http://imgur.com/a/H7fxb http://imgur.com/a/H7fxb
