designing an office

He just gave him a decent back instead and cursed you with a weak spine

My spine is fine. I seem to be blessed with wealth as well as health, unlike some God botherers, though

or perhaps this desk?

How about this chair? Apparently it make's you happy & productive too

Bit OTT, no?

it looks like something a woman would sit on when visiting the gynecologist

the price yes, but I like the design or atleast it's sort of in the right direction of enough space for 2 monitors with a seperate area for writing but it is a bit "executive/director/head of a large multi national corporation" ish

Well I'm more practical - as someone noted a desk is just a big flat surface. Not worth paying too much for. Whereas a chair affects you mentally amd physically so worth coughing up for that.

I disagree.

- a desk needs to be big enough for your requirements but also not look out of place in the space its in
- the correct height to fit your desired chair
- the correct depth so that it can fit the monitors / keyboard etc and not feel too cramped.
- you're unlikely to buy many work desks in your life and so it should also be of a style that isnt going to look dated a few years down the line
- the material should ideally fit its surroundings i.e a dark mahogany desk isn't going to look very good surrounded by pine bookshelves
- it needs to be sturdy and not fall to bits in a year

lots of things to think about

Keep your crappy chair then, pauper, no one's forcing you to buy it.

Yes, after thousands of years of using chairs made out of bits of wood, suddenly we need a space-age £1000 chair for a poor little backs.

Alternatively you're a tosser with more money than brains and they saw you coming. Although even if you were a pauper you'd still have more money than brains...

HTH.
