Academic Equipment: The Chair
When you sit down to do your work, on what do you sit? I realize that is worded like a riddle or a kid’s joke, but it’s not intended as that. Rather, it’s just the second installment in an occasional series about the things academics tend to use—the tools, equipment, accessories, and other products we need (or want) for our work. This one is about chairs and other forms of seating. (The first one, a couple of months ago, was on work bags.) Do you have a particular chair, or type of chair, you use and would recommend to others? Or one that you’ve looked into and would like? Do you prefer one kind for the office and another at home? Do you prefer different types of chairs for different types of tasks (say, one for writing and another for reading)? Perhaps you forgo the traditional chair and opt for a stool, or a sofa (in the office?), or something like this. Tell us about it (and include links, if you’d like). Maybe you skip sitting altogether and work at a standing desk; if so, save that for a future installment on desks. Your seating suggestions, based on your experience, shopping around, or even wishing, are welcome, as are criticisms or warnings about certain chairs, as well as questions about them for others.
