My friend is talking endlessly about their motorhome and their first motorhome towing experience. It was a funny story but as much as I want to concentrate in listening to her story, I kept thinking of a small issue my husband and I had during the week. It was a cute situation, we’ve been battling about a workstation chair that we’ve been meaning to buy. I am in the process of pimping our small working nook and we are debating whether to buy a cheap chair or a little expensive one. I’m actually voting for the expensive one that can last for years rather than those less than 1K bucks a piece but might only last for months. I want a red chair since I’m actually having the color red as an accent for our dark colored table, that, he didn’t complained about since he thinks red is okay but he suggests we get a black chair and just have it accented with maybe a red pillow or something. So I had my little research and found this…

*I want this kind of chair but only a little more cushion-y if possible.*

How good is your office chair?
Given how much time you spend in it, the fit needs to be just right.
by Kathleen Squires

If you spend a lot of time in your office chair (say, even more than in your bed), be sure it’s not damaging your body. “Ample lumbar support that adjusts as your lower back moves is the most important factor,” says Alan Hedge, a professor of ergonomics at Cornell University. The seat size should fit your frame, neither constricting nor so wide that using the armrests strains your shoulders. Your feet should be planted firmly on the ground to support proper spine position and prevent disk injury, and the seat shouldn’t restrict circulation in your legs by cutting into your knees, says Jerome F. McAndrews, a spokesman for the American Chiropractic Association. The arms should be at a height where your shoulders are not hiked up but, instead, “relaxed, as when you’re at rest,” says McAndrews. If you push down on the seat cushion and it doesn’t spring back, says Hedge, it can cause you to sit awkwardly?meaning you should go chair shopping.
