I used to sit on a normal desk chair but it felt wrong. I can sit here for longer without issue, though I still get up every half hour. As long as I ensure my head is touching the back of the chair as well as the bottom of my back (i.e., no hunch), my spine is easily straight and I have absolutely no back problems after working for a long time, which happens on occasion, believe it or not.
- msluyter 13y agoWhat about your wrists? The angle of your monitor stand would suggest that they have to be bent at least 20 degrees or so.
- cheez 13y agoThey actually rest very comfortably. My elbows are on the arms of the chair and my wrists are completely flat against the keyboard. If I had to guess at the angle of my forearm against my upper arm, I'd say it is close to 90 degrees. I don't think this image shows much, but here you go anway: http://i.imgur.com/kDEHDmt.jpg http://i.imgur.com/kDEHDmt.jpg
- oftenwrong 13y agoSeems like the monitor is too low for proper ergonomics.
- cheez 13y agoPossible. That is the lowest setting.
- cheez 13y agoDid some experimenting based on your comments and it looks like the ideal position to improve my setup would be: 1. Some form of a foot rest 2. The monitor raised to the next height 3. A bluetooth keyboard so my wrists can rest on my lap
- iterationx 13y agoI have a similar chair but with dual mounted "Atdec Visidec VF-AT-NBC Notebook Arm and Monitor Arm Pole Mount Combination" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044DHU0M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0044DHU0M/ref=wms_ohs_prod... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10557283/CAM00161.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10557283/CAM00161.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10557283/CAM00164.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10557283/CAM00164.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10557283/CAM00165.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10557283/CAM00165.jpg
- numo16 13y agoI did not know this was a thing I wanted until now...
- gohrt 13y agoWhere do your arms rest/float? Looks like gorilla-arm.
- cheez 13y agoGorilla-arm? They rest on the arm rest of the chair.
- shubb 13y agoWow, I have that chair, and it gives me back ache after about 5 minutes! There is no lower back support at all, at least for someone my height... Nice to know it works for you though.
- cheez 13y agoHow tall are you? I'm taller than average. This chair is better than the office chairs I've had in previous lives. I think for me the ideal for long periods of work would be a deeper incline but since I get up every half hour or so anyway, it would be a PITA to get up and down. I'm not perfectly comfortable but I'm more comfortable than is typical.
- ryen 13y agoFor other readers, thats the Ikea POÄNG chair http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/07472/ http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/categories/series/07472/
- suyash 13y agoThis chair looks comfortable but is it really for long time sitting and programming? Does it have a good lower back support?
- radiusq 13y agoI have it. Its not bad for lower back support but I still put a thin pillow on the back for a little extra support and its wonderful. Its also great with a laptop thats elevated a little via a small holder.
