A friend sent me a picture of the $300-a-piece throne his company had so kindly bought to cushion each of their butts and backs while they slog it out at work.
Apparently, it is highly adjustable and so comfy that it completely justifies the price.
I certainly understand the importance of the comfort level of the office chair...it does make those 14-hour workdays much easier to bear.
However, let's not forget about aesthectic. An individual work space that's pleasing to its dweller's eyes is just as important.
So while I suspect I might never settle for any other office chair ever again once my butt touches this throne that my friend's butt is now resting on for 5 days a week (unless it's another even more expensive, even more comfy chair), I don't think I will ever get over its ugliness.
To be fair, this expensive piece of office furniture can be matched to words like 'sleek' and 'urban'.
But to little ol' me, it really is just a gigantic fancy fly swatter.
And now, this is the type of office chair that will make me look forward to heading to work any day. In fact, it might just yield even-better quality work from me.
Yes of course I realise that this classic-hollywood-ish piece doesn't look terribly comfy, but it's nothing that a nice white furry cushion and a curled-up sitting position won't solve.
And the bottomline is this: I probably wouldn't pay $300 for the gigantic fancy fly swatter (unless it really is that heavenly on the butt and back), but I would glady shell out $3,000 for this lovely old-world powerseat (which will probably make me a prime target of Deep Vein Thrombosis).
So there you have it - I am the epitome of those funny form-over-function people.
But only as far as non-living things-which-don't-count-as-a-huge-investment-like-houses are concerned. When it comes to the more financially serious stuff or humans, my good judgement will not be impaired by aesthetics.
Seldom, anyway.
