When looking for new or used furniture the office chair is probably the most important piece as it’s where you will probably spend most of your day. Picking an office chair is no different than picking a chair for your living room at home; they are just serving different purposes. So what should you be looking for:

Back Support – It helps to improve posture, which in turn will help you be more productive because you are comfortable, not experiencing stiffness or pain.

Seating – It’s all about padding and design. Make sure the seat is not going to cut off circulation to your legs (a straight edge chair can do that, so look for something more rounded or contoured at the front). Also choose a level of padding that suits your needs, a stiffer padding may be better in a boardroom where people need to remain focused, where a softer chair in the office will ensure those long hours are spent in productive comfort.

Width – If you don’t fit, then it’s not the right chair. Look for something that leaves adequate space between the armrests and your body. Also look at the width and adjustability of armrests; you’d be surprised how much better you might work with armrests that are suited to your arms. Narrow armrests can cause pressure pain much quicker leading to discomfort and lower productivity.

Height – We’re all different and having the right height chair can make all the difference in the world, so the chair should be able to raise or lower as needed.

Style – This is of course your main concern but don’t overlook the first four elements. There’s such a wide variety of used office chairs available that meeting style and comfort needs is easier than ever!

When you think of executive office suites, the first thing that comes to your mind is probably a very large, dark, overwhelming piece that is very formal.  However, an executive desk, is really just a double pedestal desk with drawers on both sides.  This is applicable for workstations, U-shape desk suites, and L-shape desk suites.  In fact, any office desk that is 36" by 72", or larger, is considered to fall under the category "executive".  Often, media and advertisements would portray executive suites to be massive, dark, and very boss like figure.  What people don't know is that executive office suites comes in variety of  styles , which includes contemporary and traditional.
