Chairs. Chairs. Chairs. Since I have talked a lot about these things yesterday (see related post), I am going to continue talking about them here.

In an office setting, the absence of a chair would be unimaginable. How will you expect yourself and your co-workers to work efficiently if you are all tired standing up? Of course, when I say "office" I mean the conventional office, not those that really require workers to stand up.

For best work output, you do not need ordinary chairs in your office. What you would need are chairs that are ergonomic i.e., those that are designed to make its users most comfortable. We all have them here at Office 1000.

I'll be showing you in this blog post two chair designs that are of different use. There are other designs that can be found here, which you may also check through the search function.

One design that I will be featuring here is Safco's Choices Mid Back Articulating Seat and Back Chair. This is ergonomically designed to bring you comfort during your working hours. Its key features are the soft yet firm material used for the cushioning and the contoured back that will fit your spinal curve, preventing resistance. This is quite different from the chair I featured yesterday because this is not straight-backed. That chair would be better for a good posture but if you are already content with your posture and think that a chair like this won't affect it, then it's better to buy this chair than the other one.

If you are owning a commercial office, it goes without saying that one of your goals is the comfort not only of your workers', but of your clients' as well. For clients' and guests' chairs, I recommend Safco's Serenity Executive Guest Chair. As you will see in the image (the one in the left), this chair is well-cushioned at the seat and at the back, guaranteeing comfort for your clients and guests. The classic black design will give an air of formality and business seriousness to the office.

If you find that these chairs do not fit your taste, feel free to browse and check our other designs for workers and guests.

Straight

And so we talk about proper grooming. Specifically, we talk about proper posture. Why do we need to have a proper posture? The answer might be obvious, I know, but I am still asking anyway.

To have a proper posture somewhat gives a person a sense of self-confidence. It gives anyone a good impression and in a world that is highly competitive (as competition is now global), striking a good first impression is important if you want to attain your goals. You do want to attain them, do you? Then it's time to fix that posture. That's the first thing you'll have to do.

Aside from the impression a good posture gives to its wearer, a good posture also promotes good sports performance. Take golf, for example, where a good stance is the key to the game. When you have poor posture, don't expect to even go near Tiger Woods.

So why am I telling you this, anyway? Well, fixing your posture isn't something that can be done overnight. Sure you may be able to correct your posture for a few minutes but I bet you can't for a whole day--unless, of course, you naturally have a good posture.

With constant reminder, however, you'll be in good posture in little time. SO how are you going to do it? Of course you'll have to get used to it. Buy a straigh-backed chair, for one. Hire someone whose only task is to keep track whether you are maintaining a straight body? Nah. That's too impractical. What you need is something that is more sustainable yet will still deliver what you need. A perfect materialization of that is the back support. It's wearable and it will force you to wear a correct posture--or suffer the consequences.
