I had one at the place I worked in '97-'98, and frankly I didn't find it all that comfortable.

Same here. I've had one...yes it's a good chair, but I don't understand the price difference between my chair and the aeron.

Our chairs were 30 dollars each and we got them used, Saved 10s of thousands.

I use an Aeron at home... While I do think they're overpriced in comparative terms, they are better than a standard $100 chair.

That being said, I don't use an Aeron at the office, and I don't find myself pining for my chair at home all day long.
