Hi Michael, I had one made for about $400. I'm quite tall and found that most [retail] chairs did not have the right seat depth. The trick to buying a chair is to get the dimensions right. Obviously having all the adjustable's makes it easy to find your correct seating position, but you need to make sure that the depth of the seat is adequate (should be about the length of base of your spine to behind your knee), the hight of the arm rests does not cause your shoulder to be raised, and that the back of the chair supports your upper half sufficiently. Many chairs have supports for lower backs but this isn't necessarily a good thing, because ideally you want the back of the chair to take most of your weight and not put unnecessary pressure on your lower spine.
Anyway, hope this helps you shop and find the right one. Good luck. Steve On 5 October 2010 08:16, Joseph Cooney <joseph.coo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I've had an Aeron for about 8 years....I love it.
