Ergonomic Office Chairs

Adjustment that meets the body rather than the average of all bodies. In practice: seat height and depth, independent seat and back angles, lumbar support that moves to where your back actually curves, arms that adjust in more than one direction, and a tilt tension you can set to your weight. A chair with none of that is not ergonomic because the label says so.

For anyone sitting most of the day, usually yes. These run £112 to £395, and the difference over a task chair buys adjustment and better foam rather than a nicer photograph. For a chair used a few hours a week, it is money better spent elsewhere.

We are not going to promise that, and nobody honest will. A well-adjusted chair with proper lumbar support removes one common cause of discomfort, and it helps considerably. It does not treat an existing condition, and if there is a medical reason behind the problem, an assessment will get you further than a product page.

Yes, and it is the step people skip. All that adjustment is worth nothing left at the factory setting. Ten minutes with the levers when it arrives is the difference between an expensive chair and a comfortable one.

Some are rated for twenty-four hour use, which is what you want for a control room or a desk that never empties. The rating is on each page, and the heavy duty category collects the rest.

Standard delivery is free on everything, and most of it lands inside a week. Express delivery is offered on much of the range, priced per item on the product page, and gets an order to you within two working days if you place it before 5pm. Six of the 13 products here are made to order rather than stocked, and those take 10 to 15 working days. The product page says which, and shows the date it will arrive by before you pay.

Yes, on everything here. The crew deliver it, build it, put it where you want it and take the packaging away. It starts at £17.95 an item and the exact price is on each product page. Installs usually happen within about 10 working days, and the team agree the day with you rather than simply turning up.

Most of it arrives flat-packed, with the instructions and fittings in the box. If you would rather not build it, pre-assembled delivery and installation are offered on much of the range and priced per item on the product page.

Each product carries the manufacturer's warranty and the period is stated on that product's page, often broken down by part: the structure for one length of time, the mechanism and the fabric for another. If something fails inside the warranty, report it from your order page and we deal with the manufacturer for you.

Twelve of the 13 products in this category have a 3D model on the page rather than only photographs. The viewer spins the actual model, and changing a colour or a size on the page changes the model with it, which is worth doing before committing a whole room to a finish.

On stocked items, yes: tell us within 14 days of receiving them and raise it from your order page, with the goods unused and back in their packaging. Most of this range is made to order, though, and made-to-order goods cannot be cancelled once acknowledged or returned because you have changed your mind. Each product page says which it is before you buy.

Yes. For twenty items or more, or anything with a complication like a mezzanine or a lift that argues back, we plan the job and give you one quote covering the goods, delivery and installation. Ring 0208 138 0512 or email [email protected] with a rough list or a floor plan.
