Ergonomic Office Chair – A Very Popular Modern Office Accessory Ergonomic office chairs are one of the most popular accessories in modern offices.

The Ultimate Home Office Desk
I’ve been half-heartedly looking for a new ergonomic desk/workstation for a while. If only I had an extra $4,500 in the couch cushions, I’d have to check out this armoire and desk with built-in fitness center with treadmill and tv (to watch while you work out of course). Now, I’m not sure there’s anything ergonomic…
Height Adjustable Keyboard Drawer
One of my beefs with keyboard drawers is that the keyboard usually ends up being at the wrong height for me. I found a height-adjustable drawer while browsing at Amazon though (3M Adjustable Keyboard Drawer). Since Amazon didn’t have a picture, I hit the 3M product catalogue and found some more information. It looks like…
Herman Miller Cella Chair
Since I already have a Herman Miller Aeron, I probably don’t need to buy a new ergonomic chair anytime soon, but for those in the market, the Cella work chair won the “Best of NeoCon 2005” awards at the annual industry exposition in Chicago. The award was for Innovation in the Seating (Ergonomic Desk/Task) category….
Egg Chair?
I noticed an advertisement for an “ergonomic egg chair” and decided to take a peek. It looks like the same sort of idea as is behind those ball chairs, except instead of sitting on a ball, you’re sitting on the tip of an egg. The site that’s selling them is http://www.sellcom.com/ergochair.html. The price listed is…
Office Chairs Aren’t Socks…
There are a number of articles out there on how to pick a good ergonomic computer chair, but I liked the “office chairs aren’t socks–one size doesn’t fit all” comment in Are You Comfortable with Your Office Chair? It goes into selecting an office chair that fits you and emphasizes why what works for your…
Michael Jordan Ergonomic Chair?
Apparently the designer of Michael Jordan’s ergonomic chair (didn’t know he had one, but then what do computer geeks know about sports?), is being auctioned on eBay and creating a stir. There’s a picture of it at the following link: http://www.primezone.com/newsroom/?d=79318. It looks… tall.
Adjustable Desks
Mention adjustable desks one day in a post, and magically there is an article on them the next day somewhere. Not bad. Adjustable desks to combat RSI actually looks more like a press release designed to stir up interest in a product, but I thought I’d mention it anyway since it’s relevant. They have this…
What Desk/Workstation for the Home Office?
Since first developing RSI a couple years ago, I’ve made some changes in my computer habits, and I’ve been gradually revamping my home office (I work from home, so spend a lot of time there) to be more ergonomic. I’../../../2005/01/igesture_review.html”>iGesture (mouse replacement), the Kinesis Contour Keyboard (review forthcoming), a break reminder program, and the Herman…
Balls as Office Chairs Not a Good Choice
There are ball chairs and then there are just balls. I’ve heard people comment favorably on their experience of replacing a typical office chair with one of those fitness balls or swiss balls, but there’s no back support, and when I tried it, a couple hours was enough to convince me it didn’t feel that…
Plasma 2 Computer Workstation
As much as I like my Herman Miller Aeron, I wouldn’t mind trying out the Plasma 2 Multi-Position Chair and Computer Stand by HealthPostures LLC. Designed to alleviate back pain, the Plasma 2 system allows users to change from sitting to kneeling to standing positions by simply adjusting the triggers under the armrest. The monitor,…
Adjustable Workstations
It’s no secret that sitting in the same position all day, staring at a computer screen, typing and clicking, can have detrimental effects on your body. Adjustable workstations allow people to change things up by alternating standing with sitting. Designnews.com posted an article, revealing the results of studies conducted on workers comparing stationary desks to…
