Well, on to the actual chairs!  From here on out we’ll be discussing the different types of chairs, what they’re generally used for and even talk about specific chairs you might like…. So on we go!

These are usually like the one pictured to the right. Some amount of adjustability, arms or not, and more ergonomically designed than simply conference-style chairs.
You’ll find task chairs can range anywhere from 80 dollars to a thousand and generally speaking, you are best off spending a bit more, rather then less.
Some features to consider when looking at a task chair:
Back height adjustment- some have a ratchet back which makes it easy to move up and down.
Seat slider- moves the seat in and out, accomodating different leg lengths.
Other adjustments- allowing the angle of the seat to be adjusted as well as the angle between the seat and back
Adjustable arms- might be able to be adjusted in and out as well as up and down.
Usually there’s a choice of fabric colors, sometimes only a few, other times…. well, almost too many!
So again, task chairs can be varied, and you can certainly bet you’ll be happier with one that costs three hundred than one that costs 80…. maybe!
Just keep in mind how much time you’re sitting in that chair. If you’re sitting there for 8 hours… pay the money… if only an hour or so a day…. you’ll get away with paying less….
