Office Max!

Buying an office chair may seem easy. Here's a story so you can remember what to think about when you buy an office chair at Office Max.

I have been having serious problems with my back at home. The chair I had used to sit at my home computer was clearly a cause. So, what to do? In a flash of brilliance, I decided to buy a new chair!

So off to Staples I go, sit in a dozen chairs, make my decision and purchase a chair. I get it home, and my back is no better. So back it goes. Over to Office Max, whereupon I choose another chair. This one is better, except now instead of back problems, my shoulder is killing me. Seems that the arm rests are too high for me and can’t be adjusted. So back to Office Max, where I choose a chair that has no arm rests. This is so far the best of the three, but not great. My back problems are less severe with this chair, but they haven’t disappeared. And, this chair is too high! The cushioning on the seat is so high that I can barely fit my legs under the keyboard holder. So I think I’ll have to get a keyboard holder that has an adjustable height.
