Features of a quality ergonomic chair.
It is no longer enough for seating to be selected purely on what it looks like, or on price. The prime focus should be on the wellbeing of the user, to prevent back issues from occurring and to provide as much comfort and support in cases where there is an existing back issue. From the perspective of the employer, a sound investment in ergonomic seating helps prevent workers from suffering posture related injuries, which ultimately boosts productivity, profit and staff satisfaction.
We recommend AFRDI Approved chairs. This is your assurance that these chairs are evaluated in line with the relevant Australian standards.
AFRDI approved chairs will also have a longer warranty between 5 to 10 years and a higher weight rating from 110 kg up to 160 kg weight rating. Our trained staff can recommend chairs for each individual and were possible have chairs custom built & designed to fit a customers special needs
Trial Chairs
Nepean Office Furniture offers a free trial of most of our office chairs. Trial periods are available only in the Penrith region and the trial period is for one to two weeks. Experts agree that you have to try a chair for more than a few minutes in the store.
