1 BUYING GUIDE Work chairs Read more in the Choosing the right work chair is easy if you know what you need. Think about what kind of activities you will do in the chair computer work, drawing, bill writing? And how much time you will spend sitting in it. A basic heightadjustable chair may offer the comfort you need for shorter periods. But for fulltime work, you might need one with more adjustable features to help you vary sitting positions. Can take a tough day at work stability, strength and durability. We know, because we put the chair through many different tests and tough challenges. For example, we sized the chair it to heavy loads and tested the endurance of each part up to 300,000 times. We did all this to make sure it would be comfortable to sit in, safe to use and capable of enduring fulltime deskwork for many. See more at IKEA.com.hk

2 GOOD TO KNOW GOOD TO KNOW The human body is made to move, so ideally, your workspace should give you the choice of sitting, standing or leaning, allowing you to change positions often. Height adjustable seat for a comfortable sitting posture regardless of body height. Adjustable tilt tension; increase or decrease the resistance to suit your movements and weight. 6 Adjustable seat depth; easy to adapt for increased support to your thighs and back. Synchronised tilt function in seat and backrest; the chair follows your movements when you lean forward or back Height adjustable backrest; gives lumbar support and relieves strain on your back. Height and depth adjustable armrests; adjust to relieve strain on your arms and shoulders even more. Lockable tilt function for increased stability in different sitting positions. SITTING 1. You should be able to stretch your legs under the table and turn 90 to the left and right. The hips and knees should be at an share the chair with other people, the height adjustable seat allows all of you to sit comfortably. 2. It doesn t matter if you re short or tall. With an adjustable seat depth or a height adjustable backrest you can try different depths and heights and get exactly the support your legs and back need. 3. A chair with tilt function makes it easy to change sitting position, regardless of whether the tilt function is in the seat or the backrest or in both places. 4. tiredness. A chair with built-in lumbar support relieves pressure on your back. 5. Armrests reduce strain on arms and shoulders. Adjustable armrests reduce strain even more regardless of how tall or short you are. Make sure that the armrests don t prevent the chair from being drawn close to the desk, and that they don t restrict your movements. 6. If you ve been sitting at your desk for some time, it may feel nice to lean back and change your position for a moment. With a headrest on your chair, your head and neck also get some well-deserved relaxation. LEANING A standing support enables a position between sitting and standing, and it s ideal when you have a height adjustable desk. Provides freedom of movement for your upper and lower body. Activates and strengthens your body s core muscles. Gives you an open posture which improves your circulation and metabolic rate. STANDING Don t forget to stand up as well. Alternating between sitting and standing is good for you since it increases circulation and productivity. Check out our height adjustable desks since they re ideal for alternating between sitting, leaning and standing. SAFETY CASTORS Work chairs should stay where you leave them and not roll away on their own. That s why we put safety castors on our work chairs. The castors have a built-in pressure-sensitive locking mechanism so that they roll freely and easily when you sit on the chair and lock when you stand up. Note that even though the castors is pushed. 2 3
