It's some hoity toity high-end stool that's super trendy, I guess. Think of it as a Herman Miller stool. :]

It's all shock-mounted on a giant spring, so you're always moving around a little bit. This is supposed to keep your back strong & help your posture, supposedly. It is made of very nice & sturdy materials--it's a quality product, but I'm sure that there's a pretty hefty profit margin if it's sold for $599 new...One webpage I saw claimed that this is...was...Steve Jobs' favorite chair.

My old coworker loved to get new high-tech items, and then he often lost interest in them. This stool was passed around the office from person to person for a while, then I borrowed it to take home for my arcade cabinet, then he left town & refused to take the stool back, so I bought him a bunch of beer & gave him a big "THANK YOU!"

It does work really nicely for my arcade cab stool!

Looks like a similar idea to those "executive inflatable ball chairs" the idea being that you're not just sitting but having to balance and engage muscles while sitting.

I'll say this, they do work for that, but sitting on a non-breathable vinyl surface all day wasn't particular comfortable for nothing other that heat reasons.

I really like my Aeron for work!

But for an arcade cab, that stool looks fantastic.

I bought a Herman Miller Aeron years ago--the wife of a coworker was a reseller, so I got a little discount.

At my new job, we have some other equivalent fancy expensive chairs. It helps w/ my lower back pain & stiffness tremendously.

The other thing that helps my back at work is to drink lots of water. It forces me to get up & take a little stroll frequently!

If anyone wants to know how good my stool is, I'll send them a sample.
