Office chairs are one of the most critical purchases for every office. The chair provides comfort and support throughout the workday, every day, all year long; or at least it’s supposed to. It should be a safe assumption that everyone has had to endure a poor-quality chair in the past, or perhaps even now. I know that I can think back on a particular chair and my back aches in remembrance at just the thought of it. Some people look at the copy machine scene in the Office Space movie and relate, but for me I would have loved to take a baseball bat to this so-called office chair. Today, I thought I would highlight a selection of heavy duty office chairs to help pro (Read More)

Stretching your legs, rearranging your seat, arching your back, or resting your arms on the table are all ways we try to conform our bodies to sit in one spot for eight hours a day, five (or more) days a week. But no matter what we do, our bodies continue to tell us that sitting for that long without the proper support is not going to cut it. While information on beneficial exercises and stretches to do on your break, suggestions on how often you should get up and take a walk, and the benefits of a standing desk are well-touted, office chairs remain among the most elementary and essential pieces of office furniture. This means we owe ourselves and our health to seek the (Read More)

Workstations are often planned around desks and chairs, yet the surface beneath the chair is rarely considered. That surface absorbs daily movement, pressure, and friction—quietly taking the impact of every task transition. When furnishing an office, this overlooked detail can influence not only the longevity of furniture but the condition of the physical space itself. Over time, chair casters compress carpet fibers, scratch hardwood finishes, and dull hard surfaces. The damage happens gradually, but it is predictable. What begins as minor wear eventually becomes visible deterioration, leading to maintenance costs, layout limitations, and premature flooring rep (Read More)

Executive offices require special office furniture, right? What’s the point of being in the big office if you can’t enjoy the benefits? If we take the 1980s yuppie phrase of “work hard, play harder” then we can assume that we should reward ourselves for making it to the top of the business. Okay, so that tongue in cheek spill was my attempt at humor, but the underlying message is true. Executive office furniture is built to higher standards than regular office furniture with the executive in mind. Let’s take executive office chairs for example. You will find larger office chairs with more comfort considerations built in, and more luxury ma (Read More)

Most of the chairs that I tri (Read More)

Office chairs have a direct impact on how office work is performed throughout the day. Ergonomics influence how the body responds to prolonged sitting, and chairs that fail to provide proper support often lead to fatigue and, over time, long-term discomfort or health issues. These daily aches and pains don’t just affect individual employees—they can reduce productivity, increase downtime, and create measurable impacts at the business level. Choosing office chairs to address these challenges is rarely a simple click-and-purchase decision. Comfort is subjective, and there is no single chair that works equally well for every user. Differences in body type, p (Read More)

Personal health has come to the forefront of office workers in the last few years. Of course, the global pandemic has put a greater spotlight on personal health but even before then the office furniture industry had been paying greater attention.

Ergonomics aims to increase efficiency and productivity and reduce discomfort. Quite literally ergonomics is designing for people.

Everyday for at least 8 hours you go to work, sit down and don't get up again until it's time to leave. But have you ever given any thought to what you're sitting on? If you're like most people, the office furniture provided for you by your company is the office furniture you use. Or conversely, if you are the company, you probably purchased the office furniture you need based on price and volume. That means that you may not be getting the most comfortable, ergonomic, or quality office chair. This could be a problem.

Introduction Who decided that office chairs must have wheels? I mean, really think about it. There are a million pieces of furniture, and they have their traditional designs and modern takes, but with office chairs, no matter what, the design seems to be saying, you have and will roll around your office.

This one feels a little special to me. As soon as I saw the word “cubby,” I was transported back to Mrs. McConnell’s classroom at Valley Junior High in Jasper, Alabama. I was in third grade, in the simple world of the 1980s, and she was a stickler for organization — equal parts mother and drill instructor. Every day, we were inspected: desks cleaned, supplies neatly arranged, and personal items tucked away in our assigned cubbyhole. That memory reminds me why cubby storage organizers remain such a timeless way to keep life neat and organized. Though it’s been decades, that single word instantly brought her to mind. Third grade was a transf (Read More)

I recently took a look at Fresh Reception Desk Ideas for 2023 as an overall look at revitalizing your office space in the new year.

Introduction Do you remember when you were a kid and the worst punishment you could get was being grounded? You would be in your room, looking longingly out of the upstairs window while your friends rode bikes or played tackle football. If you were really lucky, it didn't last more than a day. But why was that the worst form of punishment? Maybe it's because humans need outdoors and fresh air just as much as we need food and shelter. The multitude of ways that science has uncovered (and is still uncovering) how the outdoors improves our mood and overall well-being cannot be overstated. For example, the American Psychological Association states that chi (Read More)
