Comment on Your Office Chair Is Killing You

Comments

I don't know why every chair has wheels. I hate chairs with wheels. Every office I've been to, I end up sitting on one leg, the other stretched out. And I can't push my feet against the wall and lean back because of the blasted wheels! But when I go home to my beloved $20 chair with no wheels, no armrests, and only lower back support, I feel great.

It's too bad they don't have locking wheels like on some pieces of wheeled furniture. Also, many times the wheels are removable, though I don't know if such chairs are meant to be used without the wheels.

Chairs with wheels make it easier for me to lose any ergonomic positions I had found, because of the wheels.

What chair do you use at home?
