Shopping for New Office Workstation Furniture?
Consider This
2
It's in the best interest of every employer to
equip their staff with comfortable office
workstation furniture. Poorly designed and
constructed desks and chairs create uncomfortable
working environments and often lead to higher
rates of repetitive stress injury and lower work
productivity.

If your staff can't work comfortably, their
health and your bottom line suffer! So, if
you're looking to revitalize your office's
working environment with new furniture, there are
some things you should keep in mind.

Doing so will ensure that the ergonomic desk
chairs and workstations you purchase will provide
you with the best possible return on your
investment. How Will the Furniture be Used? For
starters, you need to choose office workstation
furniture and/or ergonomic desk chairs that are
the right fit for the tasks being performed.
5
Will the people using the workstations and chairs
be working on computers and doing a great deal of
typing? Will they be doing other work at their
desks, as well, such as hand writing notes? Or,
will the furniture be part of a specialized
workstation, such as in the health care field?

The Size Shape of Your Work Environment People
often start shopping for ergonomic desk chairs
and desks or tables without giving any thought to
how the furniture will fit in their work space.
Before selecting furniture, be sure to measure
the size of your space and to consider the layout
of the new and existing furniture.

You will also want to take into account the type
of equipment that's used at each workstation and
the type and location of light sources.What

Cost CountsAs with most things in life, the
amount of money you spend on the furniture for
your workplace will undoubtedly determine your
satisfaction. Inexpensive furniture, for
instance, is often poorly designed and
constructed from inferior materials, which leads
to a less comfortable fit, fewer options for
adjustability and a shorter lifespan.

Be sure to weigh the pros and cons of your
investment will paying slightly more in the
short-term lead to greater satisfaction in the
long-run?For information on the range of premium
