The rest are too short for me and my knees and thighs start to hurt after a couple of hours. One is even an Aeron, and I find that one to be the most uncomfortable.<br /><br />Of all the ergonomic contraptions they've had us try, there are two that I like. The best one is the adjustable height desk where you can sit or stand. Unfortunately we can't use that in dispatch because we have monitors stacked three high and we wouldn't be able to see the bottom ones if the desk was raised. The second best contraption I've tried was a chair with a kneeboard. It's the only chair I've ever tried that kept my posture correct while also being comfortable.kamas716https://www.blogger.com/profile/02138979155761442634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-35872416534611118202018-09-04T12:53:05.588-05:002018-09-04T12:53:05.588-05:00I tend to slump in my chair, oozing down over time...I tend to slump in my chair, oozing down over time. Drives the ergonomics people crazy when they happen to pass by. They say I need this chair, that desk, the other computer. My reply?

One of the best purchases I've ever made in my life, despite the high cost.Russell Newquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07048413977001932602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-14279721972933189592018-09-04T09:33:14.062-05:002018-09-04T09:33:14.062-05:00(it cost me more when I bought it than it does tod...<i>(it cost me more when I bought it than it does today, which is a testament to outsourced manufacturing, I suppose)</i><br /><br />Or it's a testament to them being successful. An "iron law" of manufacturing is that the more you make, the cheaper things get, due to efficiencies and the quantity discounts they bring. Generally, doubling the quantity you make drops the price about 25%. And that's a "compound interest" situation. Double your quantity, they're 25% cheaper. Double that and they're 56% of the starting price. <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-30872027378734478562018-09-04T08:33:50.131-05:002018-09-04T08:33:50.131-05:00If you're planning on spending a lot of time s...If you're planning on spending a lot of time sitting, a quality chair that meets your requirements...
