Sometimes, we get press releases. (Okay, more than sometimes.) Usually, they're pretty dry, but occasionally, we get one so absurd we have to share it with you despite the tenuous news hook. Hope you're ready to learn more about hotel chairs than you thought possible!

An astounding 60 percent of professionals surveyed said that a more comfortable ergonomic chair would help them focus during meetings. Among frequent business travelers, 53 percent complained that meeting room chairs lack proper support for their backs or necks and 48 percent responded that seating is the one aspect they wish could be upgraded at offsite meeting locations.

And guess what? Crowne Plaza Hotels & Resorts--who commissioned this survey--has great meeting chairs. What a coincidence! They'll have swanky Herman Miller Caper chairs in all their breakout rooms by the end of the year.
