Can an ass covet?
I’m aware of the über-expensive Herman Miller Aeron chairs, and have read lots of reviews by people who swear by them for office comfort. But justifying spending a thousand bucks on a chair, heck even $400-500 used, seems crazy. Now they’ve got the Embody chair, and I want. Of course, it ups the ante at $1600!
Daaaaaaaaamnnnn. But it looks so awesome – and if it made the work day more comfortable, then why not? If you think about it, I spend probably 8 to 9 hours of the day in a desk chair. A $50 OfficeMax chair that we probably tried to find the cheapest deal on.
It’s a sad state of affairs that we spend the majority of our days either in bed, or in an office chair. The rest is likely split between a car and/or a couch. We’ll invest in a good bed, probably even a comfortable couch at some point. Why do we ignore the office environment, heck even the automobile environment (what do they have out there for ergonomic comfortable car seats)? Is this overpriced marketing, or are we vastly underspending on needed work environment benefits?
I think I either need to find a rich startup, start a rich startup, or find some crazy coupons.
