stirlish Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 My wife has just been told she can work from home permanently from now on. I have been tasked with sourcing a desk and chair for her. There are loads of mesh chairs online and wondering if they are any good? She had one at the office and didn't find it very comfortable (She thinks it may be stress related in the office environment). Looking to spend about £250 on the chair. What's folks experience with these or should I look at other styles? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debian Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 If she's been asked to work from home, then ask work to either supply or contribute. We were given a budget to purchase screens and chairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My firm purchased all my kit but they had to do a H and S assessment re height of desk, comfort of the chair etc Stirlish - if you are living near Glasgow I recommend The Office Furniture Centre on the London Road. Just past Bridgeton railway station Edited June 8, 2020 by King Of Paisley ETA - just noticed Stirlish lives in Kelso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave78 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Work delivered a load of stuff to me yesterday. 2 monitors, a docking station for the laptop, keyboard, mouse. My little boxroom office can't handle it. Gonna need a bigger desk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
