When
you are talking about buying something that serves many purposes –
like office chairs – it is very important to keep several different
considerations in mind so that you may make the best decision based
on several different factors.
One of the temptations with office chairs is to buy either the cheapest
one or the most attractive one. While it is important to keep in your
budget and to create a beautiful room, it's essential to create a comfortable
working environment in your office or home.
Remember the following ergonomics when selecting a chair for an office
or home office:
• Feet firmly on the ground
• Thighs parallel to the ground
• Hips at 90° angle to the thighs
• Back straight
• Shoulders relaxed
• Elbows 90° angle from upper arm
• Wrists remain straight when typing
• 18-24" between face and computer screen
• Top of the screen should be slightly above eye level
