The tyranny of chairs: why we need better design
Just out of curiosity, am I the only one that seems to be happy to just sit on a dining chair when at my desk?<p>When the WFH wave hit, people seemed to be going mad buying webcams and office chairs. Loads of people I work with spent a <i>lot</i> of energy researching and discussing chairs etc.<p>I have a sit-stand desk and I stand for perhaps 2 to 3 hours any working day. But the rest of the time I just sit on a normal old wooden dining chair. No pain. No aches. No RSI. No CTS.<p>I&#x27;ve been doing this for decades and nothing seems to have gone wrong yet. I do run 2 to 4 times a week so I do wonder if that helps avoid problems?<p>Are all the uber-expensive office chairs just snake oil? Or have I just been lucky?
