Seating:
Everybody Deserves a Good Chair

You may be asking yourself what difference it makes: A chair is a chair, right? Well, not quite. First, people who sit down to work for long periods of time run a high risk of low-back injury, second only to those who lift heavy weights; and the risks increase with age. Also, the total number of lost work days and the cost of each back injury are increasing.

Seating:
If the Chair Fits

The old adage, "People come in all shapes and sizes," is a tired cliche to a lot of people. To those who design and manufacture office chairs, it's a daily reminder of the difficult task they face: making chairs that fit a tremendously varied population. Walk through the offices of just about any company and you'll see people of vastly different sizes and proportions. You will notice diminutive workers whose feet barely touch the floor, as well as more lanky colleagues with knees awkwardly extended well beyond the front edge of their chairs. Some may weigh twice as much as others and may be more than a foot taller. Using the chair's adjustment features can make some people more comfortable, but others must endure the aggravation of chairs that don't fit correctly.
