Finding the Right Furniture | Buying furniture that is comfortable, multi-use and mobile can make your office a pleasant place to work. The amount of furniture depends entirely upon your work area and needs. When you are ready to choose your furniture: * Sketch a layout of the room with width and length measurements. * Use the measurements to help you choose furniture that will fit into your available space. Do not forget to make room for storage. If you are tight on space, look for furniture that can serve two purposes, such as providing storage and a work surface. Also furniture that can be rolled out of the way when not is use can be handy in tight quarters. * Basic standards for work surfaces are 25" to 30" deep and at least 24" to 29" high to allow for plenty of legroom. * An all-purpose desk will take up the least amount of room and provide storage space for a printer, monitor, and CPU tower. * For maximum comfort, an adjustable keyboard tray that is 23" to 28" high can be attached to most desks. Make sure the tray is large enough for a mouse to fit on the same level beside the keyboard. Choosing a chair is one of the most important decisions you will make when choosing furniture. If the majority of your time is spent sitting, make a wise investment in a comfortable chair that provides good support. The wrong chair can cause backaches, fatigue, and neckaches. Here are a few things to look for: * The chair back and seat should be adjustable for height and tilt so your feet easily touch the floor. * The chair seat needs to be wide enough for comfort. * A balanced swivel wheel base allows more mobility. * A curved seat cushion and good lumbar support relieves pressure from thighs and back. * Adjustable-height armrests make working on the computer more comfortable.
