Review | Harmony Swivel Boardroom Chairs
Boardroom meetings can be such a drag, especially if you are sitting on an old uncomfortable chair. The solution however can be as simple as changing those old chairs for something newer, more stylish and frankly a lot more comfortable.
We like these new Harmony high back chairs which are ‘Executive Swivel Boardroom Chairs’ and look an awful lot more comfortable than the one’s we’re currently sitting on! Available in ten different colours of high grade leather including Black, Burgundy, Flame Red, Ivory, Jade Green, Mocca, Russet, Silver Birch, White and Wineberry, this chair is also available as both a chair and an armchair, and we’d go for the armchair as it’s far more comfortable in long meetings.
UK manufactured, these gas height adjustable chairs stand on aluminium four star swivel bases and if you can’t find the colour and configuration combination from the frankly enormous list of options, they can even make them to your very own specification. So I f you need them in your own corporate colours with a logo on them then it can be arranged.
Prices start at £454 a chair, fully delivered but be warned that as these are made to your specifications delivery can be up to 30 days. Even so, we think that quality like this is well worth waiting for.
Review | Mica Fabric Task Chair
The new Mica fabric task chair is ideal if you are going to spend most of your working day stuck at your desk. As well as being practical and hardwearing its manufacturers claim that it is suitable for 24hr use with maximum comfort. Now I’m not sure you or I could ever sit at the desk staring at a computer screen for 24hrs straight but one thing is certain; this chair is very comfortable.
It has the usual height adjustment allowing you to sit at the correct height at your desk, a tilt mechanism to ensure that you get some freedom of movement when you are seated and most importantly it has an adjustment which ensures support behind the knees allowing you to get circulation to your lower limbs and thereby preventing tiredness. It all sounds wonderful but the real test was when we sat on it and the result of that; it’s really comfortable!
With adjustable side arms and a wheeled base this swivel chair is the ideal companion to a modern glass and chrome desk and really looks the part in both home and office. We found it at £165 with free delivery at Office Furniture Online and with a free two year warranty we think it’s a bargain.
Luxury Executive Leather Chair – be your own boss!
New this week we’ve spotted a wonderful luxury Jersey executive chair which has a large padded very comfy seat and contoured cushioning for that extra comfort all day long. We like the gas lift height mechanism that allows you to position it just where you want it; high up to dominate over your subordinates or low down to be ergonomically accommodating for those H&S requirements – the choice is yours!
It has the standard five spoke wheel arrangement underneath for easy manoeuvring and comes with a 2 years manufacturer’s warranty making it a good choice for anyone looking for hard wearing practicality. Like most chairs these days it comes flat packed ready for easy assembly but it didn’t take us long to knock ours together and sure enough, we were up at the desk lording it over everyone else within minutes!
As a final benefit we actually liked the fact that it will easily accommodate someone up to 17 stone, which given that Christmas is just around the corner and we’re going to pig out on turkey and mince pies, is a reassuring bonus.
You can get the chair delivered to your door by tomorrow for £119 (+Vat), just visit the website here.
Review | Turin Office Chair – it’s a bargain!
Every now and again we come across a product that needs to be brought to your attention and in this case we have found a great one. The Turin Office Chair must be one of the most stylish yet inexpensive chairs on the market today. With thousands already sold and an online price of only £39 it really is quite remarkable.
The chair is the sort of chair that your manager likes to swivel around in whilst they are pretending to work hard (meanwhile letting you do all the hard work whilst they take the credit!) and looks impressive any stylish. At the office we have been taken by the looks and practicality of this leather faced chair and the fact that it makes all of us feel like we’re the boss!
With padded arms and deep foam cushioning it’s really comfortable to sit at, particularly if you’re tapping away at a keyboard as we do most days. It has a locking tilt mechanism and you can opt to fix it in one position or let it float about and enjoy the flexibility. It is adjustable to your body weight and can take up to 25 stones so whatever size you are this chair is likely to be a winner!
With a full one year warranty and next day delivery you should be able to enjoy this in no time at all. It is flat pack assembly but you can easily put it together yourself as the video below shows. Let’s put it this way, we’re no experts but we did it in no time at all!
And if you don’t believe us then take a look at these reviews:
Why it’s a 5 star product, Frank T - 15 September 2011Good price, next day delivery and yes it’s smart AND comfortable. Easy to assemble (with the handy video instructions to pause stage by stage if you want) – the only fiddly bit was screwing in the first upper screw from the arm to the backrest where it helps to have someone hold the back steady in the right position so you can see the hole in which to screw. Very pleased with it.
Excellent Customer Service, Trish - 11 September 2011When I unpacked my Turin chair I found that the leather on the seat pad was faulty. I emailed customer services and got an immediate apology and a replacement pad was despatched. Much to my surprise, it arrived on a Sunday!
The chair now looks great, it was easy to assemble and good value for money.
Brilliant service from Officefurnitureonline. Well Done!
top chair, aj williams - 23 August 2011The turin chair delivered very Quickly, very easy to assemble, top quality and really comfortable, no more stiff necks, glad to get rid of my old computer chair. I wish I’d found the Turin earlier.

Review | Profile of www.corner-desks.co.uk
We looked at this site and found that they were aiming to provide information for people working from home, who know that one of the most frustrating things is trying to find space in their home for an office and then for a decent desk. There never seems to be enough space and when you do find somewhere the chances are the desk you can get to fit that spot is not going to be big enough.
The site, www.corner-desks.co.uk looks at this practical solution created by sticking a return on the left or right hand side of the standard desk.
Corner desks have been a revelation to anyone who has had to find room for all the modern electrical clutter that comes with a home office. On top of the PC, screen and modem you have to contend with a printer, a phone, maybe a separate fax or scanner and then external hard drives to back up all your work. If you are PC based then all this takes up space and all this before you start to put anything you might need on the desk like a pen or some paper. Add on the filing and storage and suddenly you don’t have enough space.
We found this site examines the corner desk solution and finds it to be ideal for those on limited space and budget.
Review | Profile of www.cheap-computer-desks.co.uk
We found this website is dedicated to finding the best cheap computer desk in the world. Quite a tall order you may think but they seem to be prepared to go about it with some dedication.
They argue that a good computer desk is one which will give you a working environment that is both easy to work with and that encourages you to work. You will of course need to couple if with the right chair however once you get the right combination you will know.
Given the modern fascination with technology and the fact that some people like to surround themselves with multiple monitors or as is becoming more popular these days, a large LED or Plasma screen they acknowledge that it’s quite hard to fit it all on a standard cheap computer desk?
Their site therefore is aimed at searching for the very best in cheap computer desks as they appreciate that you can’t do it all if you have a limited budget. Whilst it may be great to have a wonderfully built, layered desk with lockable drawers some of us can’t stretch that far, so their site aims to bring you news and reviews of cheap, affordable and practical computer desks.
V2 – Review | Profile of www.chair-s.co.uk
We found the www.chair-s.co.uk website to be something of one man’s obsession with getting the right chair to sit on day after day. The starting point appears to be that for anyone who works in front of computers these days the correct posture and comfort is essential if you want to avoid a bad back.
The site went live in 2011 and this website appears to be one of the few dedicated to chairs, and more specifically office chairs. Now there are so many different one’s to choose from that if you do have the chance to make the purchase decision yourself, which one do you choose? They argue that getting a ‘blue one’ is hardly enough in this day and age, particularly if you will have to sit on it all day every day.
In terms of choice that say they aim to test as many of these as they can and to let you know which are the most comfortable, have the most features, are adjustable, and above all leave you feeling good after a hard day in front of the computer.
