No other piece of workplace furniture evokes stronger physical and emotional attachments than the office chairs. Most office workers spend more time in it than any other piece of furniture except a bed. Armed with reams of ergonomic research, companies know a good chair goes far beyond good looks. Chairs, equipped with menus of features and names to match like Generation, Think and Leap, promise to make people more productive, too. Chairs are so complex, companies need to train people to adjust them to fit properly, office-furniture makers say. But many companies don't provide much training, so even the most-evolved chairs may not fit well.
In a perfectly fitting chair, your back is supported and your feet are planted on the floor with your thighs parallel to the floor and your knees at a 90-degree angle. The chair height should adjust so your computer monitor is just below eye level and your wrists are straight when extended to the keyboard or mouse.
