Desk recommendations

[annetteweaver]

I’ve been experiencing back pains for quite a long time now, which are also getting more intense. Can someone give me any recommendations on which kind of chair to buy, or should I go with purchasing this adjustable height desk with drawers I found on Ikea? Any feedback on this matter would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Welcome to Hexus!

First port of call would be see your doctor if you're getting pain that's worsening. Then if you're using desk/chair for work make sure you carry out a workplace health and safety assessment - I think they're required by law! That should set you up to avoid problems. Once you've done that they'll recommend what kind of equipment you should be buying and may help you buy it.

If you're talking non-work use then perhaps tell us some more about what you're using it for so we can suggest some things.

Stay away from 'gamer' chairs and look at office chairs. Refurbished steelcase leap or herman miller might work for you.

Failing that, a standing desk?
