For that kinda money the chair better have some type of device built it to give me sexual satisfaction.

With a price like that the chair should offer a "happy ending" to every work day.

The dark secret is that it costs even more if you want to get it in a color that you could actually tolerate for more than a few seconds...

Flimsy looking snot-colored fabric is just what I'm looking for in a 1600$ chair.

Well that's not to bad. I just bought a $3000 mouse. It has a click sensor on it so that it eliminates stress on my fingers.

$1600 for a chair.... RIDICULOUS!

But $1600 for a computer that will become outdated... acceptable.

I don't know... my curiosity is seriously nagging me to get this chair.

I sat in a freedom chair in a store that carried them here, but can't find a place that carry Aerons.

I'd rather buy a cheap "disposable" computer and this chair than a super-duper comp and a chair that I'm not so satisfied sitting in.

It's like those kids that build computer bombs but use crappy provided mice... or iPods with provided buds. You have to even things out, especially if your work requires you to sit and stare non-stop.

Heh, my $59 small, leather-covered office chair works well enough for me. It is comfortable and good on the ergonomics.

I have it on good authority that these chairs are made by chickens.

Yes, that's right: chickens.

You have been warned.

We have a bunch of those Aeron chairs here at the office that the company bought a few years ago. It's nearly impossible to find one that isn't broken in some way that compromises its comfort. In contrast, the "plain" chairs that are just as old or older still work perfectly well. This is definitely one of those examples where "you get what you pay for" doesn't apply.

I'd rather just buy a la-z-boy and plop that in front of my computer. Heck, it would probably be more comfortable anyway.

Yes, I must have a chair that costs more than my (admittedly crap) automobile.

Those Gizmodo guys play with all sorts of uber-ridiculous-price toys. You should call them and see what their secret is. If they can get a loaner 1600$ chair, getting a 1000$ Intel Extreme for a while should be cake!

ChairPeen.

Holy crap. For $1,600 it better be so comfortable that my buttcheeks commit suicide under the soul-crushing realization that they will never experience a greater ecstacy for as long as I live.
