The Herman Miller Aeron chair is the chair of choice at technology companies with good reason -- it offers users high levels of comfort and helps create an ergonomically correct work environment.

The human body was not designed to stay in a seated, static position for extended periods of time on a daily basis. Most office furniture sold today enforces a static posture on the user, or worse, a poor one. Sometimes these problems are not mutually exclusive. The Aeron chair addresses these design flaws.

Geartest.com tested the Aeron's top-of-the-line highly adjustable model. It is a solidly built piece of furniture, constructed of graphite and carbon fiber -- materials more commonly found in state-of-the-art fighter jets, racing cars, and high-performance sports equipment.
