Is bad office furniture ruining your day?

Do you love your job but dread going to work, just because of the uncomfortable chairs, dim lighting, cramped desks, and depressing lunch room couches? Is your desktop chocker-block with teetering towers of stacked folders and documents putting your computer keyboard and phone out of reach? A comfortable, safe and pleasant workspace is important, not only for occupational health and safety, but for the mood and morale, as well as the productivity of a company, so if you're work place features a range of bad choices in office furniture, you'd be forgiven for answering "yes".

Many business owners are low on cash when they are setting up a new establishment and by the time it comes to purchasing office furniture, there's not much left in the budget. So they do the obvious thing and purchase the cheapest items available. The problem is that years later, they still have not replaced them, much to the discomfort and unhappiness of their employees who had presumed the bad office furniture to be only a temporary eyesore – and bodysore!

Some of the downsides of cheap or poorly designed furniture can be very annoying, but relatively minor, such as having no place to put your handbag or briefcase, or not having enough storage space or close connection for your telephone, but some can be much more serious with critical physical repercussions. Poorly designed office furniture can contribute to severe and sometimes untreatable injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, RSI and curvature of the spine, as well as ongoing painful cramping, joint swelling and muscle strain.
