The Office Work Chair and Its Importance to Worker Quality of Life and Productivity

2011-10-03T08:09:00.000-07:00

A lot of people will probably not realize it but one of the many factors that affect workplace productivity is the quality of office furniture given to the workers. Some may not see the connection outright but if you have worked in an office environment where all you do most of the time is sit behind a desk or in front of a computer, then I’m pretty sure you know that the furniture and tools provided you by the company can directly have an impact on your quality of life. And if there’s one office furniture that does have such significance in improving conditions that employees work in, that would be the chair they sit in day in and day out.

Some 5 years ago I went into a 6-month therapy to correct a posture-related problem with my lower back. My doctor diagnosed it as a case of lumbar instability. Muscle spasms in my lower back caused some slight/minor misalignment in the bones that make up my lower spine which caused a lot of discomfort and pain. After a little digging, my doctor suggested that the most likely cause for my problem was the seating accommodations that I had at work.

The computer workstation that I had then was not equipped with a suitable chair that was designed to mitigate the impact of seating for long hours at a time. It was basically a stacking chair that wasn’t padded adequately and which strained the muscles in my lower back and buttocks area. After a while of abuse, my back started acting up with nasty and almost continuous muscle spasms that lead to an instability in the natural shape and position of my spine. Needless to say, the next six months were not exactly moments of my life that I cherish as I experienced almost constant pain in my lower back. Thankfully after about 5 months into the physical therapy, things got better.

Of course, I also “forced” the company to provide me a better seating accommodation and ever since, it has become a company policy that everyone be given suitable desk or computer chairs. They should be ergonomically designed to support the natural contours of the back and are sufficiently padded to reduce the possibility of back problems. You can see a lot of these chairs being sold in most office furniture outlets today and you can easily recognize them with their nicely contoured and padded backrests that follow the natural shape of our backs. They are also designed to recline to help relieve the fatigue of sitting upright for long periods. Suitable padding on the armrests is also a common trait of these chairs. Other features include provisions for changing height, swiveling and wheels/rollers to help you move around your workstation without having to get up and carry the chair with you.

It is not hard to see why such a chair can help you improve productivity and employee experience in the workplace. A happy and injury-free worker will always be able to produce more quality output compared to one with a painful back problem. Back pain is actually one of the most common causes of employee absenteeism. I can personally attest to this and recommend that people invest in a well-designed ergonomic office chair. This is one area of a business that you shouldn’t scrimp on.

If you are currently looking to buy a good ergonomic computer chair, Spine-Health.com created this nifty guide to choosing an ergonomic chair for work areas.

Buying Wicker Headboards Online

2010-08-01T19:59:00.000-07:00

Most bedroom headboards are made from solid wood. This is a style that I personally consider a bit over used. There are literally hundreds of different styles of furniture that one can choose from and still the large majority of people are prone to sticking with what is safe. What I mean by “safe” is what is socially acceptable, so to speak. Sometimes folks are worried about stepping out and being a little bit different. For example, one of my personal favorites, wicker furniture, is often found in the form of outdoor furniture. What many people do not know is that wicker is a beautiful style and can come in many other forms. A perfect example of this furniture type being used, other than for outdoor chairs, is a wicker head board. It may be hard for many of you to actually picture wicker head boards and to truly appreciate how stunning they can be, how wicker has a way of lightening a rooms mood, yes rooms can have moods and feelings. If this is something that you think that you may be interested in, I implore you to read on and take a wicker filled journey with me full of tips, examples and even some pictures of wicker headboards to help give you an idea of how you can transform the mood of your room with a simple change.

Lets start with what I mean by the mood of your room. This is something that I mentioned that you may not understand. Yes, I am fully well aware that your room is filled with inanimate objects and that the room itself doesn't actually have feelings. However, a room, the way it is decorated and the furniture that you adorn it with can very strongly effect your mood. A wicker headboard will add a little bit of light in an average room.

Lets start from the beginning. What exactly are wicker headboards? First off, you should know that wicker is not an actual material. It is the name of the weaving process that is used to make wicker furniture. The actual material used to make products like wicker headboards is called Rattan. This is a type of vine that is native to certain parts of Indonesia. For centuries Rattan has been used to create many different forms of furniture. This is due to the fact that the material is extremely strong, durable and easily manipulated. In order for Rattan to be transformed into the beautiful furniture that it is destined to become, it must first be heated. Once the material becomes mailable it can be woven into a large array of shapes and sizes, pretty much anything that you can think of. When the Rattan cools it is permanently frozen in that particular pattern. This makes wicker furniture not only beautiful, but strong and reliable.

As I said before, there are many benefits that can be gained by choosing wicker headboards over the slightly more popular hard wood or metallic frame for your bed. One of the more obviously appealing benefits is the price, of course. Not only is wicker furniture beautiful and elegant but will usually cost quite a bit less than it's hard wood counter parts. It is true that if you are on the market for a new bedroom set, price may not be on the top of your priority list but lets face it, it can't hurt. If you can get the beautiful, high-quality headboard that you are looking for and save some money in the process... Well, I would consider that a win win situation.

For those of you that still aren't convinced, here are a few examples of what you can expect if you choose wicker style headboards.

This first piece may not be quite your style. After all, the palm tree motif isn't for everyone. I would like you to pay attention to the actual style of this back board as opposed to the unique image in its center. Just as beautiful as a hard wood headboard with a much more stylish and unique look.

It may seem that while shopping for wicker headboards, that there may not be many styles to choose from. The image below will show you a few different styles of wicker that can be used to make your new headboard. As you can see, wicker furniture can be built in many different colors and styles. It all depends on what is used to dye them and how they were woven. Remember, wicker is merely the act of weaving Rattan. When weaving any type of material, it can be accomplished in many different ways. The finished product depends on the weaving style.

If you are worried that you will not be able to match any of your other bedroom furniture with your wicker headboard, it is simply not the case. Along with the back board to your bed, you can also choose from a large array of indoor wicker bedroom furniture. Anything from dressers to desks. No matter what type of furniture you are looking for, you can find it in a wicker style.

If you have decided on purchasing some wicker bedroom furniture and aren't quite sure where to look for it, you are in luck. You are right next to the most powerful research tool in the world, your computer. A simple search for wicker headboards will bring you quite a few online stores that sell these types of products. Browse around for what you want and with a few clicks of your mouse, you could be well on your way to purchasing a brand new, gorgeous wicker bedroom set.

The fabric is cut into a square or oval shape ( there are a great many different shapes, sizes and shapes ), sewn together and then stuffed. Usually, the chair cushion will also have to sets of thin fabric “strings” which are used to tie them to the back or bottom of the chair, this helps to keep the chair cushion in place on the chair.

As I mentioned in the beginning of this article, I have a simple trick that will help to keep your chair cushions in place. Now most chair cushions already come with fabric strands that can be tied to the chair in order to keep the cushion from falling off but they can't stop it from moving around. As you may know fabric of any kind against finished would or hard plastic can make for a very slippery situation and this can make chair cushions a bit uncomfortable to sit on. The simple answer to this problem is rubber matting. Rubber matting is often sold to be put on the inside of kitchen drawers. It will usually come on a small roll and can be cut into any shape that you need. All you need to do is buy yourself a roll or two of this rubber matting and cut it into the shape of your chair cushion, This will very effectively keep the cushion in place without damaging the cushion's fabric or your chair. A perfect, simple and easy trick to keep those chair cushions and place and stop them from sliding around when you sit on them.

That is all the information that I can provide you on chair cushions and how to find them at a great price. I hoped you enjoyed this post and feel free to contact me with any comments or questions related to it. Thanks for reading.

Types of Resin Chairs

2009-05-30T16:30:00.000-07:00

Plastic resin chairs are the perfect addition to the relaxation of summer life. There are many styles of resin chairs to accommodate your outdoor furniture needs. You can also choose amongst different sizes depending on what you may require.

The most common would be the Pacific Fanback. The backs of these chairs space upwards and outwards into a fan-like shape. They are perfectly practical for everyday use outdoors.

A cousin to this resin chair is the Miami Lowback. The backs of these chairs simply space upwards in a vertical pattern.

If you're looking for a more stylish variety, the Samoa may be for you. The basic frame and solid seat are enhanced by an outlined meshed, net imitated square back.

The Fidji Highback has a smaller spaced backing with a thinner base connecting to the seat. This style can also be applied to the Pacific Fanback and Miami Lowback resin chairs.

A smaller, more quaint style is the Miami Bistro. You may have seen these resin chairs used by an outdoor restaurant or situated around a summer luncheonette. Their absence of armrests gives these resin chairs versatile placement and allows for more to be placed around and pushed closer and under a table than maybe the other varieties of resin chairs.

With so many different styles and colors to choose from, I am positive that the right resin chair is out there for you.

Thanks again!

Resin Adirondack Chairs

2009-05-30T15:47:00.001-07:00

OK, so resin chairs are great for easy and cheap summer time furniture, but is that all they're good for? Resin Adirondack chairs are made from the same polymer material as their cheaper counter part. The only difference between the two is style and quality.

As you can see in the picture, resin Adirondack chairs are a bit more cumbersome than some smaller chairs. They are usually lower to the ground and have a white sideboard back. These chairs are made more for lounging than sitting upright. They are perfect for right beside a pool, for sun bathing, or simply relaxing on your porch.

For the most part, resin Adirondack chairs are built a little bit more sturdily than other resin chairs. The polymer tends to be thicker and much more stable. These chairs are usually made to look as if they were made of wood, but unlike wood the resin will last much longer. You will never need to repaint or sand these chairs. As a matter of fact, the only maintenance they require is a quick wipe down with a damp cloth.

This makes the resin Adirondack chair perfect for lounging besides a pool on a hot summer day.

Hope you enjoyed,

Mark

Resin Chairs

What is a resin chair? Resin is a substance that comes from the sap of plants, most commonly pine trees. Resin is used to create many different products, the most well-known is polymer, or plastic, that resin chairs are made of. Resin chairs are very cheap, water resistant and durable. However, resin can be damaged by alcohol.

Resin chairs are ideal for outdoor dining furniture. They are inexpensive and sturdy. They come in many different shapes, colors and sizes. Because of their light weight, they are easily moved around. When you are purchasing resin chairs, it would be wise to buy several. If you buy your chairs at different times or from different places there is a chance that the chairs will not easily stack. This defeats their purpose. In the colder months several resin chairs can be stacked together taking up a very small amount of space.

Are resin chairs quality pieces of furniture? No, of course not. Something that holds true no matter what the subject matter is, you get what you pay for. A resin chair is an extremely cheap home decoration, not very space consuming and perfect for parties and summer time BBQ's. You can pick some up from your local grocery store, hardware store and many other places. Pick a few up when they are on sale and you'll get a large amount of convenient seating for a very low price. If a few break or become stained, just toss them out and pick up some more.
