How to Select an Office Desk and Chair?


Selecting furniture should be done considering the need, place, space, storage, basically it’s proposed. In an office space, the most important furniture is the desk and chair where all the work happens, be it the boss’s desk or the employee’s space.

Selecting the desk

Measuring the space available
This step is a first and most important step as it lays the foundation for all the furniture you are going to buy. When the measurements are rightly done, the desk fits in well. It does not look too big or too small for space. The desk and chair should fit in snug and should be comfortable to work at.

Uses

How will you be using the desk? Will you be working on the computer or is it paperwork or a combination of both? Depending on this one can buy a simple, heavy with storage space or an “L” shaped desk respectively.

Quality and durability

Check the finishing of the desk and make sure it's not fraying. Another thing is the way the drawers are built. They should open and close freely with weight in it. The warranty simply tells the quality and durability of the product, i.e., longer the warranty better the quality.

Desk surface

1.     Laminate- this is usually the most popular choice.
2.     Metal / steel– not the most elegant but the most durable and easily available at a low price.
3.     Wood- the most classic looking desk but is heavy and is being replaced by cheaper and lighter materials.

Selecting the chair

Various studies have shown that the right chair can increase a person’s productivity and also make them more efficient. Whereas, having a bad chair can lead to back strain, leg problems and so on, which would cause lost time at work and decrease productivity. It is better to spend money on a good chair to increase employee functioning and decrease the number of people negatively affected by it.
The most commonly used chair at present is the mesh chairs. They have a good back support and armrest.

Adjustability

The chair must have a function of adjusting to the height of the desk which the person needs and also adjust the lumbar support, arm width and height, seat back width and height, seat and back angle, and tension control.

Lumbar support

Good office chairs would have a lower back support and also one which can be adjusted.

Wheelbase

Most of the Office Chairs are already wheel based, but they should be designed as to which type of surface the office has. Example if the office has a carpet then the wheels should be designed for the carpet.


Choosing a good desk and chair is essential as it increases productivity and efficiency of any individual, which in turn is good for the growth of the business.
