I have an Aeron at home, and it's terrific. Highly adjustable and the
weave instead of leather or cushioning keeps you cool. It lasts, too -
I've had it for three years at least, and all I've had to do is dust it,

Here's some general office setup ergonomics information that I copied off
of our ergonomics department intranet site.
