SK Office Furniture on office chairs

In the workplace, the office chair is man’s best friend. No matter how stressing the traffic went or how bland the breakfast was, a cozy and comfortable work place with a just right chair would somehow ease someone’s mood to be on the go and finish all the work on time.

What others do not pay attention with is that there are good office chairs and bad office chairs. Badly designed chairs do not fulfill the employer’s obligation under Occupational Health and Safety law to provide a safe workplace. Furthermore, these chairs can lead to aching arms, shoulders, legs and can reduce the circulation of the blood. Unstable chairs can cause accidents and injuries. Ultimately, it can permanently damage the spine over long periods of time.



SK Office Furniture chairs however are properly designed by its design team. They take into account ergonomics, strength and stability as well as the aesthetic requirements of the user and the relevant chair standards.

These chairs are shaped to accommodate the natural shape of the back so you sit comfortably, with sufficient support.

Proper positioning while seated on the other hand is also a major concern. It starts with posture, and that is so by sitting relax upright in your chair, leaning backwards slightly with the shoulders loose and not hunched forward.

Make sure your computer screen is neither too high nor too low. It should be just below the eye level where many have reported to find comfort with.

Bend the head rather than to crouch forward to write or type at your keyboard, as this often causes upper backache.

When typing, refrain from resting your hands on the keyboard and find a chair without arm rests. The SK Office Furniture’s height adjustable armrests are the perfect ones. This would allow the elbows to be positioned a bit lower than the forearms, thus relaxes your shoulders down to your arms and hands.

Adjust your chair to suit your posture and not the height of your desk. If your feet are resting on the base of your chair it may be too high for you, you may put a phone book under your feet and try it for an hour. Your knee joints should be approximately at right angles. If necessary, get a footrest to raise your feet. A good chair is one that gives lumbar support, an adjustable backrest, as well as a seat that tilts to allow comfortable and correct sitting with the different back position. One that can turn your job somehow easier and make it worthwhile.
