I bought Aeron chairs for an agency I joined after the 2008 financial crash. They were from Bank of America. Six months later I found a hole in our agency's finances and we went bust.

A bit stitious too.

Sounds like something Netflix would make into a two season show with a cliffhanger that the chair makes it into the Oval Office but Netflix cancels the show without resolution.

Was the hole in the agency's finances due to high spending on very expensive chairs, tho?
