I’m stuck with an uncomfortable office chair. What are the clear signs it’s actually a bad, potentially harmful one?
A bad office chair doesn't just feel off - it can cause real strain. Watch out for these key red flags:
- Poor or Missing Lumbar Support: If your lower back isn't supported, or the support is fixed and can't adjust to you, it's a major risk factor for back pain.
- Limited or No Adjustability: The chair should adapt to you, not the other way around. Be wary if you can't easily adjust the seat height, armrests, or seat depth.
- Awkward Posture Enforcement: A bad chair forces you into bad positions. Signs include your feet dangling (seat too high) or your shoulders hunching up (seat too low).
- Instability and Poor Build: Wobbly base, flimsy casters, or a backrest that creaks and gives way under pressure are clear signs of a poorly made, potentially unsafe product.
