I got my Aeron from a local company that must have been downsizing. I went and picked it up from their office, and it was depressing looking at all of the empty desks (this was pre-COVID) and only a skeleton staff.

IIRC I found mine on Craigslist.

Reminds me of my office after private equity outsourced most of the US workforce. It wasn't just that there was no one at the desks, it was that they removed all the personalization and even the department names and decorations which turned our once-vibrant, if irreverent old office into a generic, anonymous place.
