Just like furniture at home, how you choose furniture for your office says something about you and your personality. You just don’t get an ordinary desk. You get a desk that spells Y O U. 

Let’s choose the right work desk.
Choose a desk that would allow you in accomplishing the tasks needed before the day end. You must be comfortable sitting behind it. If it’s for computer work, allot the right space the component to be placed atop it. Leave areas where you would put your pens and notebooks beside it. The CPU can be placed underneath. Look for a desk that already has built-in wiring holes so that the electrical connections will be easier to pass through from the monitor to the outlet beside the CPU.

If you’re not into typing but more of paper-work in general, then choose a wider desk where you could comfortably write on the surface. It has to accommodate your big books and piles and piles of important documents. Consider a desk that has shelves. You can have cabinets attached to your work space so it won’t seem all piled up. In ergonomics, you must always provide space for your legs. Generally, a desk’s height is either 29 or 30 inches, then again, it depends on the work station space. There should be three and a half feet distance from the desk to the chair.

Let’s choose the right chair.
Imagine sitting on a chair for nine to ten hours. Some people who have scoliosis actually get worse just because they’re sitting on the wrong chair. Just as you choose the right pair of jeans, you have to choose the right chair.

A comfortable team is a productive team. Those who do not complain of being discomforted from the chairs that they’re sitting on (back ache, painful necks) are more focused and concentrate on their tasks at hand. Choose a chair that is not only comfortable but also complements your desk. A desk and a chair are like your shirt and your jeans – one has to go with the other.

For better quality, choose a chair seat that can be adjusted according to a preferred height of the person who would sit on it. The seat should have ample space for sitting. The foam of the material you’re sitting on must definitely be soft. The back support must accommodate the person who’d be sitting on it to lean effectively.
