How To Find The Perfect Desk Chair In Hong Kong

Would you run a marathon in poorly fitting shoes? Of course, not - you are not fool.

On the other hand, sitting eight hours a day on a lousy, wobbly desk chair is a reality for many - and that is no less crazy. The effects of a bad chair may not be as noticeable as bad shoes. They are long-term but serious: Back pain is one of the most common reasons why people become disabled. In addition, a good office chair can at least reduce the burden of desk-work.

However, how do you find the one office chair Hong Kong that fits perfectly with one?

You should pay attention to these features:

Height:

The backrest should be above all one thing: height adjustable. The upper edge of the backrest should reach to the shoulder blades. "It is important for the backrest to support the natural shape of the spine after individual adjustment in all postures," explains Stephan. The backrest should be so high that the top edge is at least 45 centimeters above the seat.

Adjustable armrest:

The armrest is important to relieve the shoulder and neck muscles. Just like the seat and backrest, it should be individually customizable - in height as well as in width, to cater for both delicate and corpulent employees. When buying, make sure that the armrests are adjustable in height from 18 to 29 centimeters. They should be at least five inches wide and about 20 inches long.

Headrest:

Not mandatory, but useful is a head or neck support, which should also be adjustable in height. The extra support especially relieves the cervical spine. But the back also benefits from a headrest.

Mechanics:

Many modern office chairs are movable so that they adapt to the movements of the person sitting.

Chair castors:

The roles for a new office chair should be selected depending on the hardness of the floor: For soft carpeting, the chair rollers should be hard, as soft as possible on hard ground.

Upholstery:

The upholstery should not be too soft and the fabric should be breathable, durable and non-slip.

Body size:

Most desk chairs are adaptable to most body sizes. "However, five percent of the people are smaller than 1.51 meters and five percent larger than 1.91 meters," says Andreas Stephan. If employees are particularly large or small, care must be taken when buying that the chairs are also adaptable to them. Many manufacturers offer custom-made products.

What a good office chair costs

"You can buy chairs from 50 to 1000 Dollars, a fixed size to call is therefore difficult," says experts from furniture shops Hong Kong. "But 300$ should be a minimum, because you have to ask yourself if cheap chairs are good in the long run." Starting at 800$, you can expect to pay not only for functionality and quality, but also for the brand name or the design.
