If you spend 3-12hours on a computer, obviously you are going to go through your 200$ chair from staples in a couple months. The Aeron feels the same every time I sit in it, it's nothing hugely special, it's not this amazingly comfortable chair, but it's the same every damn time I sit down. It doesn't wear out, it lasts for 10+ years, etc.
So why buy a 100-250$ chair every few months to a year, when you can buy one chair for 400-600 and not have to replace it for 10yrs?
It's an investment to me, I didn't want to spend this much money on a chair, but sitting in it as many hours as I do, and going through chairs so fast, it was worth it.
