The Scourge of Cheap Office Chairs
5 February 2010

Cheap office chairs are plentiful, but they’re probably one of the biggest causes of pain for many computer users. Most of the cheap chairs have very few adjustments, possibly only height, which can lead to all kind of ergonomic nightmares. Repetitive stress injuries like carpal tunnel are common, as well as neck and back pain. Being able to customize the positioning of your armrests, the height of the chair, back support and all the other things that a higher end chair will let you do will make a huge difference. That doesn’t mean you need to rush out and spend over $1000 on an Aeron chair, but make sure you get something that gives you enough flexibility that you won’t suffer every time you sit down.
