CHAIRS

Post by magma » Wed Sep 30, 2009 7:02 am

My back is really starting to suffer from my setup.... I currently have a pretty shit office chair which I found for free outside a doctor's surgery round the corner. I think maybe I need to show my back some love and get something slightly better.

Any posture nerds out there or just anyone that's got a particularly comfortable fucking chair?

Tempted by a second hand Aeron, but I keep finding new bits and pieces that are way more than I should spend but fucking awesome:

My problem is not my chair, but the desk. Too low. Even when I have my chair at its lowest setting, I still tower over the desk.

9-5 i work for a furniture testing Lab - check your chair has been tested to the following office seating standards and you won't go wrong for comfort and durability:

BS EN 1335-2: 2000 for up to 110 Kg User - 8 hours a day use
or
BS 5459-2: 2000 up to 150 Kg User - 24 hours a day use

it costs a tidy penny for companies to test to these so your in for a treat if they do.

Herman Miller's 'Aeron' is a beaut!!

I use a wooden chair with no wheels. I don't find any problems with it. Keeps me awake and making music, I would'nt waste my money on a chair because there damn pricey.
