My 15 Bucks Dirty-Cheap Office Chair
- rufius 16y agoExcept that ball chairs aren't always the best choice :). They can still force your spine into a C shape rather than the natural S shape. The best type of office chair is none at all, better for you all around :).
- mtm 16y agoI've gone through all sorts of seating options (Aeron, exercise ball, kneeling chairs, etc.). None of them worked for me (I'm the type that loves to stand/walk), so I made a $14 standing desk mod: http://yfrog.com/fviw2j http://yfrog.com/fviw2j (basically four cinder blocks and caps). This has made a huge difference, I can actually concentrate better and there were some unexpected benefits: * it's much easier to demo stuff (everyone is at the right height) * taking breaks is a very low friction task (amazing how something as simple as not having to get up/sit down helps)
- oscardelben 16y agoThat's very interesting. Do you find any difficulty typing while standing up?
- sambeau 16y agoI've been planning to get a ball for a chair for a while now. My major worry has been an overly sweaty ass.
- oscardelben 16y agoI haven't experienced that yet. One thing tough is that if you have to fart, you'll probably get noticed.
- Ravenlock 16y agoSomeone tried that at my office and was actually told by management that they weren't allowed to have it, as there was a concern that if she were to fall off it and hurt herself, she would sue the office. Strangely, her counter-argument that it's no more ridiculous to think that she would sue for spinal problems relating to sitting in the standard provided office chair wasn't given much attention.
