English

A curved seat edge.

The front of the seat should be curved and

finished in a “waterfall” edge.

An adjustable back support

in both height and forward and

backward tilt. It is important that the backrest correctly supports the
lower part, or lumbar curve, of the back.

A freely rotating swivel

so you can move easily from side-to-side.

Fully adjustable and padded armrests.

The chair arms should not

interfere with adjusting the chair or moving it close to your work
surface.

Your Work Surface

Ideally, you should be able to adjust the height of your work surface.

A simple way to ensure your work surface is at the correct height is to
first adjust the height of the seat-pan of your chair. With your chair
properly adjusted and your feet firmly on the floor, adjust the work
surface height until your forearms are parallel to the floor when you
have your fingers on the keyboard or other input device.

Your Work Posture

Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To
minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important
that you maintain proper posture.
