Hi ? does anyone know of a good display anywhere of good quality adjustable office chairs? and also of chair/seating ergonomic advice? I need a new office chair with adjustable height, seat slope and back slope, plus someone who knows about these things ergonomically. Hope someone has some clues!
All I know ergonomically is that you need to be able to shove your bum into to back, be sat up straight with a slight curve in your back, have your thighs and arms parallel to the floor, and be comfortable without slipping forward. I've a colleague who keeps an eye on my whenever I start slouching, that helps too!

Does it have to be new, if you are willing to buy second hand, there is an office furniture shop that sells second hand office equipment including chairs on the corner of Honor Oak Park and Stondon Park, i.e. very close to where the P12 bus terminates. They always have stock, just need to find the office chair that suits you best.


For ergonomic advice take a look at the Health and Safety Executive web site, will provide all the info you require. Suggest a high back chair with vertical movement, arm rests again that move vertically, seat that can be moved forward and backwards and up and down, and that has five "feet" on wheels for steadiness.

Hi Tom - Thanks. I know a lot about ergonomics of chairs! Have had decent chairs for 30 years. But need to replace them and need help to get the right thing. I have special requirements. I know what I need in a chair but impossible to tell from pictures and useless catalogue info what they actually do. So need to find a place to visit. I am beginning to wonder though if since I last bought a decent chair the web and catalogues have pushed all the store displays out of business.

Thanks. I might see if I can visit them. I know the ergonomic issues and yes I need all those things. - it is more that I need help to check I get the right one for my requirement, and also to see if I can find someoen to talk to about why my current chairs no longer do the job.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
