Office Chair

The office chair has evolved from simple swivel seats to highly engineered ergonomic systems. As more people spend extended hours at desks, the office chair has become critical furniture for health, comfort, and productivity. Modern office chairs offer adjustable everything: seat height, armrest position, lumbar support, tilt tension, and headrest angle. While premium ergonomic chairs command premium prices, they represent an investment in physical wellbeing for anyone who works seated.

Placement & Usage Tips

Position so your feet rest flat on the floor with knees at 90 degrees. Monitor should be at eye level. Ensure adequate space to roll and swivel without obstruction.

💡 Pro Tip

Spend more time testing office chairs than any other furniture. Sit for 15-20 minutes, adjust everything, and work at a desk if possible. The chair that feels good for 2 minutes may not support you for 8 hours.
