About 8 years ago I bought (2) Aeron chairs for myself. One for home,  
one for work. IIRC just under $700 each. People laughed at me but  
envied my chair. I pointed out that I had a new $32k car that I use  
for an hour per day that in 5 to 8 years will be worth $10k. That I  
have a $700 chair that I'm sitting in 8 hours/day that will last 20 or  
30 years.

The car is gone. The chairs are still with me and good as new.

There used to be a lot of Aeron chairs slightly used on eBay from dot- 
coms gone bust. $300 to $400. I'd hate to buy sight unseen.

Buying new I was able to select a color. Suggest "nickel". Don't know  
why its named that as its less black than black and more black than  
brown. A good neutral color for a chair.
