A simple wooden chair
Sure, you can pay in the high three or even four figures for an office chair but you know what?
The more expensive they are, the uglier they get.
Besides which, contrary to the claims of the Aeronistas™ et al, they're horribly uncomfortable.
When I used to have an office in the department of anesthesiology, first at UCLA and later at the University of Virginia, the first thing I did when I moved in was to chuck the standard issue horrendo rolling office chair and substitute an old wooden one I bought from a thrift store for $5 back in the 1800s.
Much better.
From the catalog and website:
- Wooden Slat-Back Chair
Our traditional, American-made slat-back chairs are built to last of solid hardwood with wide, contoured seats.
Handy anywhere in the home, they make handsome accents in the hall, kitchen or dining room.
Black, White, Maple, Oak or Red.
D'ja like "Aeronistas™?"
Me too.
But then, I would, wouldn't I?

This red a white chair is exactly what I have been looking for some time now, but they are too expensive. Do these ever go on sale?

The chairs look amazingly simple. I wonder why they are so expensive. I see no reason to buy them at such a high price.
Thank you for sharing this funny product story with me !
